Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was recently released on PC and Xbox. As revealed earlier, the system requirements of the game aren't very demanding and can run on relatively lower-spec systems too. However, if you're someone who owns either the Nvidia RTX 4060 or the 4060 Ti, you can run the game in its best settings at 1440p resolution. However, it is always recommended to optimize the settings for the best output.

In this article, we'll look into the best Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl for the Nvidia RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti GPUs.

Note: The settings provided in this article are for PCs that have well over the recommended specs, particularly an RTX 4060 GPU. This article is subjective and reflects the writer's opinion.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl runs incredibly well on the RTX 4060, giving an average framerate of 60-70fps with the High preset at 1440p resolution. The textures look amazing even though we've turned on Frame generation. We've also turned on DLSS and have set it to Quality.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl performs really well on the RTX 4060 Ti, showing framerates of up to 60fps at 1440p resolution with the Epic graphics preset. In this setting, we've turned off both DLSS and FSR frame gen, but have turned on DLSS upscaling and set to Quality mode.

Again, if your monitor does not feature Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, we recommend you turn on V-Sync as you may face screen tearing issues.
