Ahead of the November 20th release, GSC Game World has now shared the full PC system requirements for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will definitely push hardware to its limits, despite the fact that it won't support any hardware ray tracing effects at launch.

The released PC system requirements are quite high, but at least GSC Game World, as well as NVIDIA and AMD, have confirmed it will feature DLSS and FSR 3.1. NVIDIA already added the support for both DLSS 3 and Reflex with its latest GeForce drivers, and AMD has it on its list of games as "upcoming." The game will run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 and need around 160 GB of SSD storage.
 
According to the released table, you'll need at least an Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB, AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB or an Intel Arc A750 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM in order to run the game at a low graphics preset and 1080p resolution at 30 FPS, which is hardly the way to play a game like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. In case you want to get 1080p resolution at 60 FPS and medium graphics preset, the system requirements go up to an Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super/RTX 4060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700XT graphics card.

Things get a bit interesting at higher graphics presets and resolutions, as in order to run the game at 1440p resolution with 60 FPS, you'll need an Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, as well as 32 GB of RAM. Running the game at 2160p resolution with over 60 FPS, GSC Game World says you'll need an Intel Core i7-13700KF or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.

The most recent game we tested, Dragon Age: Veilguard, was also struggling to get over 60 FPS at 2160p resolution and Ultra settings without Ray Tracing, except with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

As announced by GSC Game World earlier, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch on November 20th on PC and Xbox Series S|X.
 
I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward to this game release.
