Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl runs a little better on the RTX 3060 Ti. Apart from the resolution being increased to 1440p, we've retained most of 3060's settings. It runs at around 75-80fps on Epic graphics settings, allowing for a pretty immersive experience. We've set DLSS to Quality and also turned on FSR 3 frame generation, so it helps a ton with the fps.

Also, we recommend you turn on V-sync only if you have a monitor that doesn't feature an adaptable sync technology.
