Best S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 settings for the AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 runs at roughly 80 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 60FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6700 (10GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 10GB of VRAM, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 80 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 80 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	60	80
1440p	36	60
4K	20	60

💡 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heavy Unreal Engine 5 game — upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A heavy Unreal Engine 5 game - upscaling is practically required at 1440p and above.

Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS

Surface sharpness. Heavy on VRAM - High is safe on 8-10GB cards.

Overall QualityHighbaseline

The master quality slider. A step from Epic to High frees significant FPS with little visual loss in motion.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is the key trade-off point.

Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline

Lumen bounce lighting. Heavy; Medium is a big FPS saver for a subtle visual trade.

ReflectionsHighbaseline

Lumen reflections on water, glass and metal. High is a clean step below Epic.

Vegetation QualityHighbaseline

Grass and vegetation density across the Zone. A real cost in open areas.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Explosions, fire and anomaly effects. Lowering helps in heavy gunfights.

Environment Draw DistanceHighbaseline

How far the Zone renders at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Post ProcessingHighbaseline

Bloom, depth of field and motion blur. Cheap; set to taste.

MaterialsHighbaseline

Surface shading detail on weapons and walls. High is a clean trade.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the gritty world clean cheaply.
