Nvidia Benchmarks Show RTX 4090 Can’t Do 4K 60FPS In Stalker 2 Without DLSS 3

Expert Verified By

System Requirements Didn't Mention That DLSS & FSR Are Necessary!

Story Highlight
  • Recently, official system requirements were revealed for Stalker 2, highlighting an optimised port.
  • However, the system requirements did not mention that DLSS or FSR needs to be toggled to meet the given requirements. 
  • Nvidia’s benchmarks show that even the 4090 can’t do 4K 60FPS without using the DLSS 3.

Stalker 2, one of the most anticipated releases this year, went gold a couple of days ago and will finally be released in less than a week. The fandom’s anticipation and excitement have gone through the roof, and the official requirements showed an optimized port. 

However, there is bad news for the fans who have been thinking that the port is highly optimized, as Nvidia’s official benchmarks say the opposite. Even the most powerful GPU RTX 4090 can’t do 4K 60FPS in the game without enabling DLSS 3.

Why it matters: Stalker 2 was voted the most anticipated game of 2024, so the new benchmarks are likely to create a wave of concern among many fans.

Official Benchmarks From Nvidia Reveals That 4090 Can’t Maintain 60FPS With Native 4K Resolution in Stalker 2

The benchmarks from Nvidia were revealed a while ago after CSC Game World released the system requirements. The latter revealed that the RTX 4080 can provide a 4k 60FPS experience with ultra settings. 

However, a recent analysis from Nvidia has revealed that DLSS 3 is necessary for that. This wasn’t mentioned in the system requirements, which caused a lot of misunderstanding. 

The benchmarks show that even the beast RTX 4090 can’t maintain 60 FPS at 4k native resolution so it is pretty obvious that 4080 wouldn’t even come close. On the other hand, at 2k native resolution, RTX 4090 can dish out 75 FPS on average, but fans aren’t likely to be satisfied with that. 

Stalker 2 is an Unreal Engine 5 game that has been in development for 14 years and is massive in scope. So, even at the native 2k resolution, it is likely to look spectacular. 

That said, what do you think about the likes of 4090 struggling to maintain 60 FPS at 4k native resolution now? Do you think Stalker 2 can get away with this due to being an UE5 game?
