✅ Yes

~65 FPS at 4K with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is a high-end 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. 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 42 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	124	123
1440p	75	74
4K	42	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 123 FPS, at 1440p about 74 FPS, and at 4K roughly 65 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
