S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl benchmark on RTX 3090 Ti: 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 3090 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 90FPS min 65Good | 76FPS min 60Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable |
| High | 117FPS min 85Good | 98FPS min 78Good | 64FPS min 56Good |
| Medium | 153FPS min 111Excellent | 129FPS min 103Excellent | 84FPS min 74Good |
| Low | 197FPS min 143Excellent | 167FPS min 133Excellent | 108FPS min 95Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 25% | CPU 13% | GPU 21% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i7-13700K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3090 Ti. There is 17% 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 3090 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 90 | 113 | 131 |
| 1440p | 76 | 103 | 125 |
| 4K | 49 | 71 | 91 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3090 Ti 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 3090 Ti has headroom to spare in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3090 Ti Enough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
The RTX 3090 Ti delivers 90 FPS at 1080p Ultra in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 76 FPS and at 4K 49 FPS at Ultra quality.
