The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 3% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, it is not worth it. 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 3050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 35 | 44 | 51 |
| 1440p | 23 | 31 | 38 |
| 4K | 10 | 15 | 19 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 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 3050 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 3050 Enough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
The RTX 3050 delivers 35 FPS at 1080p Ultra in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 23 FPS and at 4K 10 FPS at Ultra quality.
