It makes no difference which processor you have: with the RX 590 in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.

FSR 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 RX 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.

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 RX 590 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.

Frequently asked questions about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl on the RX 590

How many FPS does the RX 590 get in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl at 1080p?
The RX 590 averages 28 FPS in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 36 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 61 FPS.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On Ultra, the RX 590 manages around 18 FPS at 1440p and around 7 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.
Can the RX 590 run S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl at 60 FPS?
Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the RX 590 to about 61 FPS in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.
Do these S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl figures include upscaling or ray tracing?
No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 590 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.
How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 590 from around 7 native FPS to an estimated 10 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.
What processor do I need to pair with the RX 590?
The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 590 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
