Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl FPS with a RTX 2060 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |

| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 34% | GPU 51% | GPU 77% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 2060 12GB. There is 5% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 2060 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 41 | 51 | 59 |
| 1440p | 31 | 42 | 51 |
| 4K | 14 | 20 | 26 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2060 12GB does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 2060 12GB is what caps the frame rate in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 2060 12GB Enough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
