S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl benchmark on RTX 3060: FPS by resolution and quality
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 3060 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 48FPS min 42Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| High | 62FPS min 54Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| Medium | 81FPS min 71Good | 62FPS min 55Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Low | 105FPS min 92Good | 80FPS min 71Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 24% | GPU 42% | GPU 72% |
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 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060. There is 12% 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 3060 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 48 | 60 | 70 |
| 1440p | 36 | 49 | 59 |
| 4K | 17 | 25 | 31 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 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 3060 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 3060 Enough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
The RTX 3060 delivers 48 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 36 FPS and at 4K 17 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
