✅ Yes

~65 FPS at 4K with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti is a high-end card with 24GB 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 i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 65 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 39 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	115	113
1440p	69	68
4K	39	65

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

At 1080p expect around 113 FPS, at 1440p about 68 FPS, and at 4K roughly 65 FPS with optimized settings. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
