Field of View

Players can easily use anywhere from 50% to 80% increased FOV. Going higher or lower isn’t game-breaking, but it may look weird in some scenarios due to the age of the games.

Improves the look of daylight scenes, so this setting should be used at the maximum preset.
Sun Rays

These are part of theStalker Legends of the Zone Enhanced Editionpackage and shouldn’t be turned off. The performance difference is quite minimal in mid-range and high-tier PC systems.

Nvidia: HBAO
AMD: HDAO
If SSGI is disabled, you can manually set the SSAO mode and its quality.
Soft Water
All are graphical effects part of the enhanced editions. It’s best not to disable these as they don’t cost a lot of performance.
AMD FSR
There isn’t a DLSS option available at launch, so it is best to use FSR to get a boost in average frame rates.
FSR Frame Generation
Massively increases performance, allowing players to experience Stalker class games at a smooth, high FPS. If your game is crashing, it is best to turn frame generation off.
FSR Mode
Native/Quality
If you have performance to spare, playing in Native FSR mode is recommended. Otherwise, quality is the next best option, and players will get an FPS boost with an unnoticeable change in visuals.
