      I think that heavily depends on what is being defined as “mainstream”.

      Is it the same buggy, broken mess it was during the first week of launch…no.

      Is it a smooth bug free well optimized game. Not even fucking close.

      You still need a pretty decent beefy system to play it comfrontably and even then it’s still littered with problems.

        I mean…that kinda counts for all the stalker games. They shine despite their flaws…
        Would be nice if the req system specs were a bit lower, might be able to play it in a decade 😭

    I am a beginner, though have played Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl long ago as a novice on a low end system.

    Even my present system is not good enough with Zen 2200G CPU, RX 7600 GPU, 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM and game installed on HDD. Windows runs off an NVME SSD.

    I am fed of compiling shaders each time it launches as I am trying to find a playable set up. Presently it is running so hot that it semi-cooked my SSD and it disappeared from BIOS on boot. After waiting for a day, it is working again now luckily.

    I am trying to understand upscaling so that game will be rendered at lower resolution taxing my CPU less and then upscaled to 1080p if possible or 1600x900 at least.

    What type of upscaling should be selected? I do not have dlss option which is most recommended in online guides. I have FSR. What does the percentage below mean?
