S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl benchmark on RX 9070 XT: 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 RX 9070 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 88FPS min 64Good | 73FPS min 59Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| High | 114FPS min 83Good | 94FPS min 76Good | 58FPS min 51Acceptable |
| Medium | 149FPS min 109Excellent | 123FPS min 100Excellent | 76FPS min 67Good |
| Low | 193FPS min 141Excellent | 160FPS min 130Excellent | 98FPS min 86Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 24% | CPU 10% | GPU 27% |
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 7 7800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 9070 XT. There is 19% 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.
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 9070 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 88 | 110 | 128 | 187 |
| 1440p | 73 | 99 | 120 | 168 |
| 4K | 44 | 64 | 81 | 109 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 9070 XT 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 FSR 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 RX 9070 XT 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 RX 9070 XT Enough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl?
The RX 9070 XT delivers 88 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 73 FPS and at 4K 44 FPS at Ultra quality.
