✅ Yes

The AMD RX 9060 XT (16GB) is a strong 1440p card with 16GB of VRAM, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC.

💡 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 (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 70 FPS, at 1440p about 65 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
