Got my new rig: 34 fps average image - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Oblivion Lost 3.1 mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
This mod is the current version of the original Oblivion Lost series, developed by Kanyhalos & OLP Team. The purpose of this mod is to get closer to the old Oblivion Lost which was planned by GSC back in the days, and give the best immersion possible, while implementing the best mod features: Total Freeplay, Improved A-Life, New Levels, Extended Main Storyline and Reality Enhancement. This mod works properly only with 1.0005 patch and it was tested only with that patch! You need to start a new game with no additional mods installed! Savegames from earlier mod versions are not compatible!

Description
Not just the performance but even the colors of the game look better with my new graphics card. Notice that it's still fully using the GPU lol :O
Beautiful! So, Definitive Edition soon yes???
Yes, sure. I'm just not sure what to write about the system requirements. Minimum 4x standard AA is needed because of the HD textures. They look bad without AA and simply MSAA is not enough.
But here is my current (but short) experience:
- CPU usage is still very high, CPU1 is at 100% all the time
- 4GB RAM is enough
- It needs a good graphics card. I think 1GB VRAM should be fine. However the GPU must be powerful because of the forced AA
- SSD is king in this game, now the stuttering is almost gone (only a few very short stuttering on the big levels once), and the loading times are just laughable now. Even starting a new game is a couple of seconds only lol.
My new rig is:
CPU: Intel Core i3 3250, 3,5Ghz
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB, 1600Mhz
VGA: Gigabyte GTX 750ti OC 2GB, GDDR5 PCI-e 3.0
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
If I turn off AA I have 120+ fps xD
Use FXAA its half the performance hit and it softens the edges which is something i personally like, and i also use vsync through Nvidia (cuts strain on GPU and CPU so your hardware doesnt have to work as hard because its wasted energy essentially, especially if you have a 60hz monitor) but make sure you enable maximum pre-rendered frames as 1 to cut particle stutter if there is any.
Trees and leaves looks bad if I only use FXAA. Actually I had both AA, MSAA, FXAA turned on. I will play around with the settings.
Good luck , for your final release ! keep the had work :)
Honestly I don't know what to say about the Recommended System Requirements.
For AMD Radeon, I used 4x standard Adaptive Multisampling and MLAA. I had low fps but my graphics card was ancient (HD6570).
For nVidia, currently I'm using 4x AA, FXAA on, Gamma correction on, Supersampling 4x but I have got a very good graphics card which runs Far Cry 4 and Witcher 3 on Ultra.
I think I'll only make suggestions in the tweak guide and the user will figure it out himself/herself.
Minimum is 1GB of Video RAM and I think a middle-cass GPU is enough.
Anyone can recommend GPU's supposed to be sufficient, but weaker and cheaper than my 750ti OC? Thank you!
Maybe Radeon R7 250 1GB and GTX 650 1GB? I think those should be enough for Stalker OL with 4x AA and HD textures.

Thing to remember is that xray isn't great with multicore cpus and will almost always use all resources available on core 0. So a high frequency core is the way to go.
Perhaps also forcing your cores to "unpark" themselves during gameplay would help with the performance as well. And finally setting you memory to XMP profile could indeed make some difference as well.
Yeah a 4.0Ghz+ would be the best. But SSD really helps with stuttering, it is barely noticable now.
Of course it would. But glad that you are enjoying a smoother experience at least.
Great graphics!
You can try disabling motion blur to increase frame rates. For me it was a massive boost.
In Documents\stalker-shoc\user.ltx change 'r2_mblur' value to 0
Always a good plan. I don't like motion blur anyway. :)
