but I don't think this is the place for this kind of discussion

#

I'm outta here kek1 peace

#

I own bb guns that can be used for shooting at targets, look cool and have authentic mechanisms, no need for more

lone terrace
#

but do u have casings

#

and

#

stuff

quick sentinel
#

I have
I put the bb's in a fake casing that ejects
It's a winchester
And a single action army

lone terrace
#

winchester

#

thats

#

pretty cool

#

which one

quick sentinel
#

It works pretty much like a real gun but it doesn't strain your eardrums and is incredibly unlikely to kill someone, even if I were to be negligent

lone terrace
#

is it wood

quick sentinel
#

It is

lone terrace
#

and metal

quick sentinel
#

And metal

#

Yes

lone terrace
#

damn sounds good

#

idk where u live but where i live u cant rlly get shit like that i dont htink

quick sentinel
#

Germany

lone terrace
#

would be cool though

#

ah

quick sentinel
#

The colt is metal too but the grip is plastic sadly
Still really bussin'

lone terrace
#

nooo

#

is it good plastic at least

quick sentinel
#

They're the types of guns I don't worry about if people own them
You really have to go out of your way to cause serious harm

lone terrace
#

is it like

#

airsoft

quick sentinel
#

Technically it wouldn't be hard to replace it with actual wood but I'm not a carpenter and don't really see the need

lone terrace
#

nah bro it would

quick sentinel
#

You can go ahead fam, I'm happy with it the way it is

lone terrace
#

damn

#

dont think i can

quick sentinel
#

What intrigues me most is the mechanism and reloading anyway

lone terrace
#

it would be so cool to have c96 and p08 replicas

#

with the mechanism

quick sentinel
#

I'd 100% love me a Mauser
P08 doesn't intrigue me as much

lone terrace
#

bro it has that cool little thing that pops up

quick sentinel
#

The optical design doesn't speak to me really
Mauser on the other hand is tasty

lone terrace
#

fair

quick sentinel
#

Most things that are reloaded via clip I find intriguing
Would love a Mosin as well

lone terrace
#

g98 would be peak also

#

mosin whadafak

quick sentinel
quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

soviets are largely fine except stalin

#

imo

#

its alr but come on g98 is js the goat

quick sentinel
#

German engineering is very solid for the most part
But I've always been a Mosin man

golden hazel
quick sentinel
#

In general slavic guns I find pretty cool with notable exceptions being the TOZ 106 and all the Makarovs

lone terrace
#

bro is that a SPOILER

#

THAT ISNT MARKED

#

AS A SPOILER

#

IN THE STALKER 2 GAME CHAT

quick sentinel
#

They never should've bothered with Makarov, Tokarev was just better

lone terrace
#

yeah but the tt looks so ahh

#

makarov at least has the vibe

#

and the early glock 18c

quick sentinel
#

I beg to differ

golden hazel
quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

yeah but

#

u got the auto one

quick sentinel
#

Fully automatic 9×18 is still 9x18

lone terrace
#

dw bout it

quick sentinel
#

Ots and APS look a little better at least

silver orchid

Instant refund

#

bro is that not strelok

#

real shit

#

its been a while since i played

quick sentinel
#

The graphics I don't care much for I just want A-life to work

golden hazel
#

This is Strelok

lone terrace
quick sentinel
golden hazel
quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

rlly?

quick sentinel
#

Yeah

lone terrace
#

whats ur rig and what settings

quick sentinel
#

Got a 4080, I play on high settings

#

Locked at 60fps

#

Smooth as butter

lone terrace
#

damn

#

thats a 4080 tho

#

imo the a life has too much life. like if i get attacked by bandits every 5 seconds then the zone might as well be the projects of a major city

quick sentinel
#

I had a 3070 before, still worked

golden hazel
#

It's an aggro spawner

lone terrace
quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

gamma is so good

quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

unfortunately it has no story but oh well its a better game play experience than s2

quick sentinel
#

Worst I've had was a 1 second stutter when entering a new area

lone terrace
#

huh

quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

acc?

#

damn

lone terrace
#

i cant remember

quick sentinel
#

Nah there's still epic

lone terrace
#

ohh

#

what anti aliasing btw

quick sentinel
#

I tried epic on the 4080, didn't notice a difference so I went back down

quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

ah so taa or tsr

silver orchid
quick sentinel

lone terrace
#

yh fair

quick sentinel
#

People are way too obsessed with graphics
I don't care if it looks like a PS2 game, the gameplay has to be good and engaging
If it also looks nice in addition that's a bonus but not a requirement

lone terrace
#

idk man

#

i sometimes say that

#

but groahics is good for immersion

#

realism

#

and screenshots

golden hazel
quick sentinel
#

If people can't do that and need graphics that melt their eyes to get the same experience that's fair

#

I do feel kinda sorry for them though
Feeling the need to constantly chase a new high of visuals to be happy like you're a Slaanesh worshipper doesn't sound fun to me

lone terrace
#

nah bro ima have to sorta be a slaanesh worshipper this time

#

like decent graphics uisnt that much to ask for

quick sentinel
lone terrace
#

not like photographic but like stable

#

like mc shaders

#

xD

quick sentinel
#

I never played mc with shaders

#

And I don't care for any graphical updates made to games, mods, etc.
I'd rather have more content

#

Callisto Protocol was the last straw for me when it comes to people gooning over graphics
Sure the game looks stellar but it was a huge disappointment

lone terrace
#

never played mc with shaders

#

im leaving

quick sentinel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

The game runs fine without
I don't need them

lone terrace
quick sentinel
#

It always amuses me when people absolutely fail to comprehend that it's possible to enjoy simple graphics

wanton arch
#

I think you are not understanding what is personal opinion...

#

well whatever

#

Whatever you consider as good because you deem it's good then it just from your perspective

#

But eh talking about graphical stuff it has many aspects that you have to consider

#

Texture / model / animation

#

Stalker 2 i deem has fine graphic

#

It's because the animation is not there yet

#

💔

quick sentinel
wanton arch
#

I mean fair people don't get the point either

#

Tho im the one deem animation the most and it must have good coherency with texture and model

quick sentinel
#

Like it doesn't affect me how people enjoy their games
And if people take my opinion personal...., that's not on me

wanton arch
#

Like 3d with pixellated texture and low polygons models

quick sentinel
wanton arch
#

Me when killing floor 3

#

Fine ish model decent texture but stiff animation

#

Kma

#

Kms

quick sentinel
#

I didn't look into that one yet but I have not heard great things

wanton arch
#

Mostly due to not sticking on what kf2 provided nor even kf1

quick sentinel
wanton arch
#

Nah it's fine and if somehow you pick up my tone as trying to attack someone then prob my fault

quick sentinel
#

No it didn't come across like that, don't worry
Felt more like gently pointing it out

warped monolith
#

promises unfulfilled
less content than kf2 at its early access launch

warped monolith
#

both would be nice, of course...

slim moth
golden hazel
slow cave
#

Yeah

#

They say it looks like it but I did a deep dive fr

#

That’s all it is, looks kinda like it

#

They don’t own the Soviet looks

#

Like for example the gas mask and Russian navy blue and white shirt

#

Even cod mw19 had a operator with that

#

I just wish they didn’t say

#

“Plot” as a reason

#

That one irks me cause they could have made it not a joke, but now for the plot? What you own the idea of a post apocalypse Russia? Nah even stalker got it from a book

eager solsticeBOT

#

What’s up with the Zelensky being in game fr is it just cause he looks close

#

sadge I’m too dumb to look it up

warped monolith
#

you mean the Dalin guy, right?

slow cave
#

Ges

#

Please don’t tell me it’s really that

#

He’s zelenky

warped monolith
#

no idea

slow cave
#

Embed fail shit

#

What I bet is

#

A artists saw Zelensky in the news or something and when sketching it kind of came to

#

Just off of like hidden memory of seeing him but you saw a face and you remember it

#

Embed fail again kill me

@slow cave, remove your Newcomer role to:

  • gain access to the restricted part of the server;
  • ask for help/support with custom modlists (enabled/disabled mods in MO2);
  • download additional mods for GAMMA;
  • talk in the #╓☢stalker-chat (you'll need to be Rookie in order to post in this channel first)

▶️ Go to #⏩start-confirm to remove the role, but ONLY after you have successfully installed AND launched at least once the mod pack.

warped monolith
#

if you remove that newcomer role you can embed gifs an shit

slow cave
#

Wait W thank you

silver orchid

isn't zelensky

Nah that’s why he thinks if it fr da artists

I did it

a bit of everything, but obviously Dalin is more Dalin than anything.

somehow now i feel that dalin has jew vibesjekan

I want to love the hk416 but I hate how I rack it on a mag change with a round in the chamber. Any suggestions for a new 5 56 to keep my eye out for?

Dalin after getting shit on by Skif

Only on steam workshop tho

Basically its a HK416 chambered in .308 or 7.62x51 NATO

What in the fuck

unreal ridge

#

Fucking shit bullshit 7.62x54r inside a 5.45 aku

#

💔

#

I swear dawg

#

S2 weapons is so ass in a way

#

wait is the triology weapon restoration has an94 yet

#

Well at least in a scuff version

warped monolith
surreal lintel
#

@visual minnow I dont have wifi LipBite

slow cave
#

Gentlemen do we know what fps the 5.5 unreal will bring?

#

I’m basing my assumption off of body cam

#

They showed a fps for 5.5, it changed nothing fr

#

I wonder if this will be like that or if it will be huge

slim moth
#

Only if they make good progress with lumen or allowing alternative lighting rendering. if it's still software based lumen then it'll probably still be doo-doo

#

bout to build my new pc with a 5070ti and 9900x to gain a whole 10 fps, wish me luck stalkers.

tacit glacier
#

Ditching lumen will give you at best 10 to 20 FPS unfortunately

lone terrace
#

dalin is not zelenskyyyy

tacit glacier
#

wtf?

slow cave
#

On high you finna get 100 1080p fpsKekSkew

#

Actual tragic but good to know fr

#

Unless they magically pull performance from a hat trick

#

I ain’t playing the game again bruh

#

Not even the consoles, series x since ps5 not yet

#

Hits 50, never 60 locked

#

Not 60 really ever

#

Sad man even console players don’t get good fps and console is made for stability

wanton arch
#

I mean clearly you just want a work pc with decent gpu just to game

#

Or well the odder choice is why 5070ti over 9070xt

#

Im pretty sure most 5070 ti model price are over by 100$ to 200$ compared to most 9070xt model @slim moth

#

Unless that changed and you found 5070 ti at it's msrp

#

While all the 9070xt are at 750$+

#

I'm not saying 5070ti is a bad choice
Im just concerned about your wallet

slow cave
#

Real

#

Nah it’s a bad choice not for performance

#

But price to performance fr

#

Even adjusted to today the 1080ti the top of 10 series barely hits the prices of the 5070ti-5080

wanton arch
#

I will be honest if i have to be technical

#

9070xt or amd in general has better driver

#

Consider my friend do encounter bugs more often with his 5060 16GB

#

I mean i have 9060xt to compare to his 5060 ti 16gb

#

His 5060 ti has better vram cores and a lot of shit

#

Like fucking double core units
Yet only better by 5%

#

🥀

#

Eh you know the architecture matter

#

🥀

normal blaze
#

will there be a mp mod for stalker GAMMA

wanton arch
#

Mp mod ?

#

And i actually dont know how to direct this question to whatever possible channel

#

💔

slim moth
wanton arch
#

How is the price tho

#

I mean fsr4 is on s2

#

And fsr4 is just slightly worse by little

slim moth
#

It’s only preference. I’ve always used nvidia minus a couple laptops on AMD

wanton arch
#

I mean it's a good time to try out AMD card

#

But your choice tbh

slim moth
#

I feel like a lot of developing also utilizes nvidia cards, but then again if it’s optimized well then it should perform good on either or. But you get what I mean

wanton arch
#

Im not sure about that part

#

I mean it's the driver/gpu side to make it compatible to the game

#

And that is in the PC scheme

#

It's the opposite for console tho

#

The game developer has to optimize their shit for the console because people bought the same specs unlike pc players where it has variable GPUs

slow cave
#

Drivers sadly for amd still break a lot

#

Nvidia to me had one thing that was bf6 issues

#

Personally I could be wrong tho

wanton arch
#

My experience is telling the dif but tbh whatever

slow cave
#

I’m betting it’s like diff systems react diff

#

Random

wanton arch
#

Oh yeah one other part @slim moth

#

You have amd cpu

#

Getting amd gpu mean you only need one software to operate both gpu and cpu

#

🔥

#

So you dont have to download the driver or software for both side

#

I mean enjoy your build when it's complete

#

Fucking ram price bumped and i cannot optimize my setup for now

silver orchid
slow cave
#

I’m dumb as nails

#

CPU drivers?

trim iron
#

Not so much CPU drivers as "chipset" drivers. It's just instructions to components plugged into the motherboard on how to work with the CPU.

wanton arch
#

Like i have 7700 and 9060xt

#

Hes about to get 9900

slim moth
#

I do a lot of recording for video editing as well as music production

wanton arch
#

the newer AMD card does has the encoding you need

#

aka if you need AV1/H264/H265

#

AMD does have that

#

but if you want NVENC yeah sure

slow cave
#

Redownloaded stalker

#

Anyone have any fps optimization mods?

#

This is the same or worse than last time, but the memory atleast isn’t leaking yet

wanton arch
#

S2 optimizer from nexus

#

Pretty sure it's the most endorsed in the list / got update recently

#

But you could find a better optimizer through your graphic card vram

slow cave
#

Bet bet

#

Valve are gonna have a field day with misery fr

#

“Plot?”

#

I get dirge for the planet though

#

And the dev saying “stalker wasn’t an inspiration” then goes on to say a lot of movies games and books inspired

#

Just admit it fr lol

#

W dev saying his sorries and stating he will be professional about this

I gained 20 FPS with this, and the instructions in the description gave me frame gen that didn’t look like my screen was covered in vaseline

Gsc needs to say sorry

#

Plot ain’t a good reason

Why would they need to say sorry

#

That would be admission of guilt

I just hate what they doin

#

“We need more money for potential tweets”

unreal ridge
# slow cave Anyone have any fps optimization mods?

For me S2 optimization tweaks working + on top community engine ini tweaks, I can past link if you need
Playing with DLAA and FSR enabled with stable FPS

# slow cave Gsc needs to say sorry

Mol1t:
Hey,

Misery was using assets and music from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, thus crossing the line of being merely "inspired" by the world we had created. We have no objections — and never will — to it being sold on Steam as long as the devs remove those specific assets from the game files.

If they had read our guidelines for content creators, this issue wouldn't have existed.

Thanks!

GSC don't need say sorry for smth that isn't a lie and they didn't

If you need guidlines how to set things up, let me know and I can share.

unreal ridge
#

It is possible to use DLAA for upscaling and FSR for frame gen via native game settings

#

Oh I see, you told about custom settings

#

Dismiss then, I started to answer first part of the message

#

Sorry

#

I don’t know, how big difference will be? Can you tell me an example?

#

Since all good for me atm

#

I’m okay with how game flows for now

tepid spade
# unreal ridge I’m not against you or your opinion but you should better check before saying so...

That you can find out in less than 30min yourself.

As You are on low end GPU - I would not suggest using DLAA in any game as that is 1:1 rendering.
You do not gain any benefit of doing that - in short You are limiting yourself instead.
You will benefit more if You will do DLSS Quality mode and FSR:FG + through OptiScaler
You will be able to have FSR4 Upscaling which will result in better visual clarity near to native resolution that DLAA is. Therefore leaving You more resource to utilize elsewhere.

I have no idea how are you enabling and through were your Frame generation, if that is some AI generated Engine.ini then use it at your own risk.
30xx series NVIDIA GPUs do not have native FG.
That's were Opti comes into play.

I am using 7900XT with Opti & I am spoofing NVIDIA DLSS .dlls through NUKEMS & fakenavpi.ini
My game thinks that I am on NVIDIA but in reality I am just hijacking DLSS input values and then outputting them through FSR:FG + Upscale with FSR4.

There is no better way out there for achieving best possible visual fidelity along with performance.
Just giving You the tool at this point to look into.

woeful narwhal
#

i doubt steam would let them take it down if there wasnt any ripped assets, could be wrong

silver orchid
#

and that thingi above was Mol1t (community manager) saying that the reclaim of copyright is real

woeful narwhal
#

okay so was misery ACTUALLY using Stalker assets or no?

silver orchid
woeful narwhal
#

ah i see

#

interesting

unreal ridge
tepid spade
unreal ridge
#

So in game at the performance improvement section
I can choose scaling method, quality of it and also enable FSR
I cannot attach photos unfortunately here
But that what I have in my in game settings
Currently it using FSR 3.1
It’s just explanation on what is going on atm at my game

unreal ridge
#

Keep it like that

#

Wish you a good day, truly

#

Okay

#

The thing is native options do not have ‘no scaling’ option

#

That’s why I used DLAA

tepid spade
#

Yeah I tried to share my guideline that I have created and I can't advertise it here unfortunately so I got myself Warning instead 😄

unreal ridge
#

Other methods either DLSS options or TSR, FSR, XeSS

unreal ridge
tepid spade
#

Forget about in-game at all, its irrelevant at this point.

Will send U DM

unreal ridge
#

I asked the admins here and they pinned my message about mod list

#

Let me check

#

Maybe ask them too

tepid spade
#

That guideline could be beneficial to this room in general but well rules are rules

unreal ridge
#

But it was mods making discussion channel

unreal ridge
#

It even have attached link for g drive
So I think it’s possible since your guideline is not advertising or something

tepid spade
slow cave
#

But for me stalker 2 performance should be fixed off rip because I have to use this to fix the fps for them

tepid spade
tacit glacier
#

...

#

How the fuck

#

STALKER 2 runs better on Linux

#

Also alt tabbing between windows is very nice, lol

slow cave
#

GSC ain’t a big corpo enough fr

#

They just screeed up da devomegakekw

tepid spade
#

Big enough for You to optimize their game like every other dev corpo title.

Its just way quicker and better to dial all things in yourself instead of waiting for updates and empty promises at this point.

Instead of optimization GSC will now allow You to disable head-shot sounds in game menu 🤦‍♂️
Its beyond comical

warped monolith
#

can they make a flashlight stronger than the one featured in Amnesia: The Bunker?

I'm absolutely spoiled by games like Generation Zero and Arc Raiders at this point

#

dlss

unreal ridge
#

Better performance and picture

#

on radeon

visual minnow
#

just dont use dlss

#

dlss is so ass

lone terrace
#

yeah but still

unreal ridge
#

By tweaking dlls

visual minnow
#

you can update FSR for stalker 2 to a newer version

unreal ridge
#

And using custom method to imply them

#

Not the native way game uses

visual minnow
lone terrace
#

damn

unreal ridge
#

This is one of the steps

#

But not from this source

#

I can invite you to their discord

lone terrace
#

im on amd anyway its kinda annoying when it comes to some games

unreal ridge
#

And there you can find a guide

visual minnow
#

Legit just replaces what's being toggled in the game's setting from DLSS to FSR

unreal ridge
#

And try for yourself

#

Is easy to install

#

It will also give you a tool

#

To swap scaling methods

#

For other games too

Well they had to release the game as there was funding from investors and not to mention that part of the devs were still back home and many days w/o any internet connection while majority of them were working in warm Czech or Poland offices - lets just give them a bit of credit and lets hope they will bring us UE 5.5 in first 1/4 of 2026.

There could have been worst situation that we would also loose this game at this point so lets just chill and wait a bit. Its been year already and I believe they can deliver but not on UE 5.1 in this state.

Game is playable, tweakable and ppl invest their efforts in it to mod it.

#

S2 has potential and huge imho.

If You are on AMD RDNA2 gen GPU then let me know - there is a different way to get You FSR4 upscaling.

It will not work with latest Adrenaline drivers, You will need to go back in time for this to work 🛠️

There's no way it's gonna be fixed in 1.7

Or what settings do i need

warped monolith
#

that could be an issue with your display

#

I've seen videos of a similar problem in other games with certain TN screen panels

#

skyrim and wow for example

unreal ridge
#

Ghosting

#

Maybe

#

You need to adjust some setting on the screen

#

Let me check the name

#

Over drive

#

Usually modern displays have this setting up

#

And you need to set different lvl of overdrive according to the fps your monitor supports

#

I have 165hz so I use lvl 4

echo magnet
#

osd, fast is most of the time the best compromise.

unreal ridge
#

Yea, it’s adjustable depends on your screen like

#

There were a site you can check this things up

#

Something like that

and if you havnt made dogshit choices throughout the game , guides should be able to take you almost everywhere on the map

Stalker 1 you could run for a while across smaller map

What did they do for stalker 2 with a huge map? Make you slower and run for 5 seconds

That emissions can kill some characters if you start a mission
Like Zakhar Babay from Slag Heap

I started his side mission

And went to explore other stuff from Budmo side quest

And eventually emission came

Akopyan was dead

And no bandits were at the place

Can anybody identify this audio cue for me? Hard to describe, but I guess it kind of sounds like sliding smooth glass? I hear it all the time but there is no indication of what it is, nor can it be reliably replicated if I reload a save and go back to the area I heard it in. Seems it's completely random, as far as I know. At first I thought it might have been related to stashes or anomalies, but that doesn't seem to be the case either.

Sparkbros on Limansk and go through Rotten Forest, Jupiter, and obscure underground with the purpose of escape of x part of the zone (the side of Limansk, obviously) and in the way they see obscure thingis and that type of thingis, a digger or sparkbro as protagonist simply sounds more interesting to me.

I bought a 4060 ti just when the game came out 16gb vram fr

He’d stare you down

Then just msg dump you for the lols

Love skif but most times he gets beat in situations like that

Like physically

#

I wonder; was the tanking emissions really scar or just him being lucky?

silver orchid
golden hazel
slow cave
#

His body still the body for what we know if scars actually gone

#

What I found so funny was we had badass scar, then first time we meet him he’s huddled up with weak dudes and just monologuinng, atleast strelok got you beat you up afterwards

slow cave
golden hazel
slow cave
#

Yeah but he doesn’t get that respect

#

Hes got a cool jacket

#

That’s if

#

I’d rip his limbs off

golden hazel
#

It's a combined effort from Scar resisting his programming and the Stalker that he got the memories from being traumatized making him crazy

slow cave
#

Now is strelok by the end still considered better than skif in the sense of like zone skills?

slow cave
#

He wanted my boy strelok dead

So a win is a win strelok survives

Nah he’s alive maybe I like to think

But then if GSC has a grand plan I’m excited but

Can You elaborate this part - why would You need to go MEDIUM settings along with DLSS=Performance ?

If You can go all EPIC & DLSS=Quality

Single player games or RPG do not need high FPS as they are not competitive online shooters where ppl play with 240 FPS +

What You aim for is best possible visual fidelity along with clarity & smooth Frame Time latency.
With 4060Ti 16gb you can have best visuals and smooth latency in range of 10-15ms with settings I mentioned above. And they are getting You 10-15ms range for smoothness and VRAM consumption will be only 10-11Gb playing on 2K resolution.

If You need high FPS then get 50xx series GPU and enable 4x Fake Frames and enjoy 200 FPS which is useless imho

Stalker 2 just not optimized game

Give me a min and I will show you

#

Let’s switch to DM

slow cave
#

I can’t even get 100 fos at that really, meaning like going higher for me would tank that perfect 100

#

But dlss performance and framegen on top of medium settings should hypo be optimized enough to make it higher I guess imo

#

Nah fr love the game and I get 4060 ti is semi budget

#

But still fr

unreal ridge
#

i followed his guide

#

and got +20-30% performance boost

#

with Ryzen 5500 and RTX3050

#

i can play stable 60 FPS most of the times

#

all the settings on Epic except textures and shadow quality

slow cave
#

Nah fr im going to 100% dw; just talking about the base game

Woah bros got the 3050, W gpu

compared to my previous system this one is spaceship

i were using previously Intel core 2duo e8400 and Nvidia 730GT

i bought new system on a sale

That’s a massive ship

unreal ridge
#

it was cheap compared to all other available local

#

For me I’d go amd instead of it because better performance by like 20-30%, but 3050 have dlss

Fsr older is meh compared sometimes

i bought a whole system for a price of this CPU +20% cost

unreal ridge

but technically amd cards more powerfull

tepid spade
unreal ridge
#

it's really dinosaur era CPU

but damn this horse can work

i maxed it to 4.1 mhz frequency

tepid spade

Well its still better than Pentium II 300MHz with 3DFX Voodoo2 12mb VRAM 😅

unreal ridge
#

true)

tepid spade
#

There are ppl who run 3080 10Gb GPU who doesn't have native FG and through few tweaks they are able to have DLSS:FG and FSR4 Upscaler.

With settings all HIGH on 2K resolution with stable 70-80FPS

BTW that's with enabled UE variables through PRZ which also eats performance heavily

My best bet is that Your system is cooked and bloated as there is no way that You cant get 100 FPS on DLSS=Quality w 4060Ti

unreal ridge

probably i cut off alot of native stuff from windows that were eating performance and collecting data
