@RandomGamininHD: I suggest looking into modding to get the most performance out of older hardware, as you'll learn what makes UE5 tick, and how to squeeze out performance without a loss in quality. For starters, disabling Nanites and forcing a fixed LOD quality would help out the most. Then disabling Lumen and trying to find a way to enable better lighting like in older Stalker games, is a decent way to gain some lighting without a loss in frames.
Engine.ini and Scalability.ini Are your friend here in the 'modding' possibility of UE5 games, but how long you can do so depends if the devs are protective of Epic's tech narrative on 'nanite/lumen' being the future of gaming... I cannot mod Abiotic Factor to have better frame rate now because the devs imposed hardcoded functions into their exe, to ditch your engine.ini settings you put in, to overwrite it with their own.
Ive been running a ryzen 7 2700x, gtx 1060 6bg, 32gb dual channel ram for years and for the past couple years Ive been neglecting to upgrade. As a long time stalker fan I may now have to make an exception as my experience running stalker 2 was not horrible, but bad enough to make me viscerally jealous at the people complaining about this game running at 60fps and not 120. I also understand that it's mostly the issue of the inconsistent frame rates. I am waiting for that to be fixed soon along with A-life
What i have noticed is the game seems to have some kind of VRAM issue similar to how RE4make would crash if you exceeded VRAM usage at any point (at least i'm pretty sure it does.) I have a 12gb 3080 and when i first played on epic, I had nonstop crashes within 3 minutes (even though the game would run noticably fine, around 70-80 fps even without frame generation) but it was unsustainable and even more unstable with frame generation enabled. I've managed to get the game to run for an hour or two at most between sessions with medium texture settings and high on everything else. Yes, this was tested with the latest nvidia drivers and a BIOS version that is optimized and supported by my CPU.
Thx for this, I have 1060 and 16 GB RAM and wasn't sure if it's worth it the time for downloading for me. Looks like it is, so once again, thank you. (I'll go play the older one first nonetheless, but good to know I can continue into new one as well.)
A 4070 Super should NOT need DLSS for this game. Maybe a 4060 but NEVER a 4070 Super. Bad optimization. I hate UE5 so much. A good game tainted by the WORST engine ever.
Interesting... Those minimum requirements seem to be quite accurate, and yes the 1080p 30fps specs are not true 1080p, because of the asterisk and the point about using TSR (or equivalent). Native 1080p might just get 30fps, but I'd probably play with FSR (or TSR) set to Quality, if using this hardware configuration.
@ the real question is how long it’ll take the Crossover folks to get it running; odds are solid my M2 Max Mac Studio will do better in six months. Thanks for the reply!
@@vadnegru Yeah, no doubt. I wonder if it’d be worth it over just trying to run it at 720p… or if 720p + XeSS would be the answer. That’d be pretty scuzzy though.
G'day Random, I love your "Minimum System Reqirements" videos, I am happy with FPS between 25-60 as long as it is relatively smooth so my Gaming PCs RX580 would still be good enough for me... 🤔As the 7700K is 4C/8T I wonder how my R5 1400 would do ???
I'm running DLAA on my 4080 Super, got a nasty bug in the first town you go too where a cinematic bogged to like 20 FPS but other then that been 100+ fps.
Nearly 200GB, constant stuttering, and required a high-end RTX4000 card to get 60fps at 1080p... with frame generation and AI upscaling. Yup! A trademark UE5 (tm) experience! Just fuck this shit, going back to play SoC-CoP for the 50,000th time.
Wht i have learned from Unreal Engine: leaving everything at the highest preset is not a great idea, even on higher end PCs. Turning down some settings for minimal visual differences is always recommended,
yeah, i had to turn some settings down, but some to epic aswell thanks to my cpu bottleneck but overall stable 60 fps on 7800 xt with 5700x and 32 gbs with FSR on native
When I was a kid......there was a zx spectrum........there was thousands of games....that would influence an enthusiasm on playing the game.........ant attack....sabator.........commando.....there was nothing called stalker....or riot.........or murder............what has the world become....top selling AAA game.........stalker........do you creep through the garden and wait
could you do a full video of performance please, I think it would do well in the algorithm, For example Steams most average PC (RTX3060 12gb) with a 12400f/5600X a RTX 4060 and a i3 14100f RTX2060 and a 2600X AMD 7700XT and a 5700X3d ect ect.
My Rx 580 on 4GB's is struggling for real. I can squeeze rubbish 30 FPS on 720p with Frame Gen and Balance/Quality FSR on low Or stable 30 with same stuff but on 800*600. I've yet to still play around with slightly higher resolutions but I can probably squeeze just a little bit more :D
My only problem with this game is stuttering and textures never loading in time or fast enough. I would sit for minutes after reloading waiting for the world to load around me. In cities is totally unplayable. My hardware is rtx2070 super 32 gb ram i9 9900k on an SSD. I would expect to run this game in at least constant 60 fps on low, somehow its impossible. And as i stated before, my issue here isnt the framerate itself, but the game not loading things fast enough, making the experience unplayable. My weapons will randomly go low Poly, foliage and shadows are having a disco party in the distance, terrain would unload, suddent firing and spawn of particles would freeze the game, its a mess and have no idea if these things can even be adressed at this point
I'd love to know what aspects of games require such beefy hardware. I don't think environments are much busier than they were 10 years ago. A few buildings, a bunch of grass/trees, and a modest amount of NPCs - this is nothing new. From my limited understanding, textures and polycount aren't tremendously expensive. Is it all in the lighting and effects? I wish we'd at least have an option to view these pretty games without blurry AA. Long live MSAA
Well, they are if you have "bottlenecks" in RAM speeds(both CPU and VRAM) or, let's say, miss out on "modern" architectural design (Pascal's 1066 is much weaker in raw performance than, for example, 980Ti. In terms of CPUs it's obvious) but you're right, this particular game should not be that dependant on hardware. Must be UE5 itself, it's still not that "polished" in terms of stability nor "old-tech" compatibility 😢
I'm playing on an HDD, my PC is an RTX 3080 and a Ryzen 7 2700. I assure you that it has wild stutters, I mean, it doesn't reach the level of unplayable incompetence like Starfield is, Stalker 2 is in a much better state on HDD... but yeah, it's not worth it. These days I will buy a 1TB M2 to solve this.
@@arch1107 His question is valid, money doesn't come from trees lol. Tbh, if Cyberpunk 2077 with its "slow disk" mode can be easily played on an HDD, games like Stalker or Starfield have no excuse to have these problems.
Have you tried the free Stalker-Anomaly btw? You need the original Stalker game for the assets but free is free and its quite a lively game on its own. BTW throwing a headsup to Diablo 4 players, if you log in and head to the main city with an eternal you can insta boost it to 50 plus the first one gets a massive armour cache which has ilvl 800 ancestral legendaries included. I bought Vessel of Hatred so got to insta-gib up to 50 not one but two eternals and the mercenary questline is ample enough to get you to 60 easily :) I also upped my difficulty to Torment 1 on my main eternal and boy did it make me think about it, not undoable but boy it made I sweat hehehehe
I have a 5 2600x RTX3060 should I also be using FSR Balanced? Also what about Frame gen? every other setting is on medium except shadows and screen space but it feels very janky looking around and a bit blurry. I was using TAA and frame gen and it said I was getting 75FPS but it certainly didn't feel like it more like 30fps.
My 3070 desktop gpu cant handle this game without dlss and frame gen, it just constantly stutters at times freezes and vram even at high settings goes to 85-97% usage depends on area
2:135:25 - 5:52 I don't know how can someone enjoy graphics like this, I'd rather not play a game looking that atrociously bad with terrible fps and i say this as someone who doesn't have the latest and greatest of rigs and grew up playing games with the lowest graphics and fps dropping to low 10s, These kinds of games have realistic graphics and not much of a focus on a specific art style and playing at low graphics is horrendously bad compared to something as old as Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain which looks pretty acceptable even at lower settings and that's a 9 year old game, Also Unreal Engine 5 games are insanely hardware intensive while not looking that much impressive from 7th or 8th gen games.
Bro why is the arc a750 toghether with the 1060 and 580 as the minimum requirement?😂 That gpu is similar to a 3060 as far as i know, they should have put the a380 in here, not the 750
even on RTX 2080 Super + 5700x + 32gb 3200cl16 it runs bad. All lowest, native res it is just about 50-60, sometimes 70. Really putting me off the game, ngl. And on top it looks like shit then. The game doesnt look good enough to justify this performance
Well that's actually surprising! I thought it was going to run worse on the little 1060 and 1600x.

And as i stated before, my issue here isnt the framerate itself, but the game not loading things fast enough, making the experience unplayable. My weapons will randomly go low Poly, foliage and shadows are having a disco party in the distance, terrain would unload, suddent firing and spawn of particles would freeze the game, its a mess and have no idea if these things can even be adressed at this point
It's not great even on a high end pc, I imagine they will patch most of the issues in time though, how good is your SSD?
Does a frame rate cap devote that released power to the frame rate dips?
In a fashion, yes.
An equivalent foe of how to run Minecraft with stable 120fps on shaders
I'd love to know what aspects of games require such beefy hardware. I don't think environments are much busier than they were 10 years ago. A few buildings, a bunch of grass/trees, and a modest amount of NPCs - this is nothing new. From my limited understanding, textures and polycount aren't tremendously expensive. Is it all in the lighting and effects?
I wish we'd at least have an option to view these pretty games without blurry AA. Long live MSAA
I believe this game relies on Nanite and Lumen, probably that's why
the aspects would be that it is because it's not finished
Well, they are if you have "bottlenecks" in RAM speeds(both CPU and VRAM) or, let's say, miss out on "modern" architectural design (Pascal's 1066 is much weaker in raw performance than, for example, 980Ti. In terms of CPUs it's obvious) but you're right, this particular game should not be that dependant on hardware. Must be UE5 itself, it's still not that "polished" in terms of stability nor "old-tech" compatibility 😢
Yo, can you do a HDD vs SSD comparison video on this? Since the game's description has SSD "required" in the requirements
😂 game will stutter due to HDD.
we are in the year 2024, move to a ssd, dont make us look at that please
I'm playing on an HDD, my PC is an RTX 3080 and a Ryzen 7 2700. I assure you that it has wild stutters, I mean, it doesn't reach the level of unplayable incompetence like Starfield is, Stalker 2 is in a much better state on HDD... but yeah, it's not worth it. These days I will buy a 1TB M2 to solve this.
@@arch1107 His question is valid, money doesn't come from trees lol. Tbh, if Cyberpunk 2077 with its "slow disk" mode can be easily played on an HDD, games like Stalker or Starfield have no excuse to have these problems.
@@Rainbow_Crash69 I think most of those stutters *should* be fixed in upcoming patches
can you do one for the high settings, they state that is the recommended setting
The requirements are either a lie or only for specific areas of the game
r.nanite=0
You'll thank me for that, and the devs might get pissed and maybe make the game unmoddable.
I’ve never had a game run so poorly even at 1080p low. My i5-10400 and 3060 is turning into an anomaly lol
plz do a Minimum System Requirements build for metro last light or metro 2033
Have you tried the free Stalker-Anomaly btw? You need the original Stalker game for the assets but free is free and its quite a lively game on its own. BTW throwing a headsup to Diablo 4 players, if you log in and head to the main city with an eternal you can insta boost it to 50 plus the first one gets a massive armour cache which has ilvl 800 ancestral legendaries included. I bought Vessel of Hatred so got to insta-gib up to 50 not one but two eternals and the mercenary questline is ample enough to get you to 60 easily :) I also upped my difficulty to Torment 1 on my main eternal and boy did it make me think about it, not undoable but boy it made I sweat hehehehe
seems like hat 1600x has some performance left, maybe pair it with 1080 and call it a 60 fps
Why no FSR 3 frame generation? 😢
I have a 3070 and an amd ryzen 5 5600g and I’m barely getting 50 frames. Is this expected or?
This game is demanding on epic at 1440p with frame gen mu 4080s goes from 100-120 fps
I have a 5 2600x RTX3060 should I also be using FSR Balanced? Also what about Frame gen? every other setting is on medium except shadows and screen space but it feels very janky looking around and a bit blurry. I was using TAA and frame gen and it said I was getting 75FPS but it certainly didn't feel like it more like 30fps.
It looks like you are cpu bound. I get nearly 50fps on that settings on 6600XT. 100+ if used with framegen.
Buying game pass for one moth just to test my gtx1070 running stalker 2 lmao😂
Wait, does it actually run better than Starfield?
I'll wait a few months, it's not worth it right now imo
5:55 you can refund after trying if it doesnt run properly on steam though
I have 1050ti can't play
My 3070 desktop gpu cant handle this game without dlss and frame gen, it just constantly stutters at times freezes and vram even at high settings goes to 85-97% usage depends on area
GPU intensive? I just watched a different video claiming that the game is actually more CPU bound than GPU
Yeah but there is a catch ... Everything goes down during emmision or storms... fps goes to hell - in my case from 100 to 13 ...
Cool
Radeon RX580 8gb ???
@2:02 Aliasing, the game 😅
Wonder how its handled on the 5500xt 4gb
2:13 5:25 - 5:52 I don't know how can someone enjoy graphics like this, I'd rather not play a game looking that atrociously bad with terrible fps and i say this as someone who doesn't have the latest and greatest of rigs and grew up playing games with the lowest graphics and fps dropping to low 10s, These kinds of games have realistic graphics and not much of a focus on a specific art style and playing at low graphics is horrendously bad compared to something as old as Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain which looks pretty acceptable even at lower settings and that's a 9 year old game, Also Unreal Engine 5 games are insanely hardware intensive while not looking that much impressive from 7th or 8th gen games.
I'm out here shooting for my new song's video, waiting for the next shot and watching RGHDs new video!
Bro why is the arc a750 toghether with the 1060 and 580 as the minimum requirement?😂 That gpu is similar to a 3060 as far as i know, they should have put the a380 in here, not the 750
even on RTX 2080 Super + 5700x + 32gb 3200cl16 it runs bad. All lowest, native res it is just about 50-60, sometimes 70. Really putting me off the game, ngl.
And on top it looks like shit then. The game doesnt look good enough to justify this performance
