Earlier this month, some media outlets shared some outdated PC requirements for STALKER 2. Those PC specs were from 2021, and they gave PC gamers the wrong idea about how the game would perform. Thankfully, though. GSC GameWorld shared its final PC specs. So, let’s take a look at them.
To run the game at 1080p/Low with 30FPS, PC gamers will need an Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, an AMD Radeon RX 580 or an Intel Arc A750.
For gaming with 60FPS at 1080p/Medium, you’ll need an Intel Core i9 9700K or an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super, an RTX 4060 or an AMD Radeon RX 5700XT.
GSC GameWorld recommends an Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. With such a PC system, you will be able to play at 1440p/High with 60fps.
Finally, for 4K/Ultra with 60fps, you’ll need an Intel Core i7 13700KF or an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or an AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX.
Sadly, though, these PC specs do not seem to represent the performance you’ll get at native resolutions. NVIDIA has shared some early benchmarks, in which the RTX 4090 can push around 54FPS at Native 4K/Ultra. To get framerates higher than 60FPS, you’ll need DLSS 3.
So, in a way, these final PC specs are also a bit misleading. After all, GSC GameWorld has not included DLSS/FSR in its PC specs. And, to be honest, it was obvious to me that the RTX 4090 would need DLSS 3 to hit framerates higher than 60FPS. Let’s not forget that STALKER 2 uses Lumen. So yeah, it was to be expected.
GSC GameWorld will release STALKER 2 on November 20th.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
