We list 48 published FPS results for it from GameGPU, covering 13 graphics cards. 3 of them hit a frame cap, CPU limit or VRAM limit in the source and count as lower bounds. Steam lists Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / Intel Arc A750 as the minimum graphics card, a mid-range card by today's standards. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 27 of 45 times.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
