Can the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) run S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2? (2026)

❌ Not really

~18 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) is a entry-level card with 2GB 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 a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 18 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 5 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	5	18
1440p	3	11
4K	2	6

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

At 1080p expect around 18 FPS, at 1440p about 11 FPS, and at 4K roughly 6 FPS with optimized settings. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
