The NVIDIA RTX 4090 is a flagship 4K-class 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 i9-14900K-class CPU it averages about 71 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 53 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 155 | 154 |
| 1440p | 93 | 92 |
| 4K | 53 | 71 |
At 1080p expect around 154 FPS, at 1440p about 92 FPS, and at 4K roughly 71 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.
