Best Stalker 2 Mod to Increase FPS
Stalker 2 takes players on a long journey through a huge map based on the real-life Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the site of a deadly nuclear disaster in 1986 that left the area uninhabitable for thousands of years. However, while traveling through the zone, players may notice some performance issues and stuttering that can cause the game to run poorly.
To combat these issues, PC players can use a mod available through Nexusmods that can improve the game's performance and also fix some graphical issues.
Note: Always be careful when installing mods, as they are third-party modifications to the game.
Great mod to increase FPS in Stalker 2
The mod in question is “Optimization Basics” and developed by Nexusmods user TheHybred. Using the mod will help reduce stuttering, loading times, ghosts and more. Moreover, graphics issues will also be improved thanks to the improvement of Unreal Engine visual and graphical effects.
The mod has also been updated regularly since it was first uploaded and has also brought some fixes for AMD GPUs. You can watch a video from YouTube channel MxBenchmarkPC below with the mod installed, and the modified version can be compared directly to the regular version of the game.
As you can see in the video, the gain is around 25% at 4K (2160p) and 1440p graphics resolutions. Compared to other currently available mods, it also ranks first in average frames per second (FPS) and 1% lows.
The mod can also be extremely useful for gamers playing on weaker hardware. This is because it can provide a significant performance boost, which in turn will provide a better balance between graphical quality and FPS.
There are also new graphics modes that change the look of the game. You can check out some of them in the video above, uploaded by Hybred himself.
