On a AMD RX 7600S (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 43FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7600S (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB 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 65 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 65 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 45 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. 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 | 43 | 65 |
| 1440p | 26 | 61 |
| 4K | 14 | 45 |

Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Overall Quality and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
