On a NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 runs at roughly 57 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 19FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB 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 AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is playable at 1080p — about 57 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 19 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 57 FPS at 1080p and 35 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 20 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB 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 | 19 | 57 |
| 1440p | 11 | 35 |
| 4K | 6 | 20 |

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.
