See, and you all said an RTX4090 was overkill for 1080p...and there's me getting a solid 59FPS at 4K Epic/Cinematic in Black Myth Wukong and Stalker 2 
STALKER 2

Wasn't going to play/buy this until the first few patches were out, and then I noticed it was on GamePass, so thought it was worth trying.
I'm about 4 hours in, and other than some 10 second freezes and a single BSOD (GamingInputService) I'm enjoying it. There's plenty of resources around the early game, but I'm assuming these will disappear as I get further into the game...and I'm being a wuss and playing on Rookie for now as it's my first Stalker game and I don't know how much of a bullet sponge the creatures/enemies are yet.
Edit:
Have had to tweak the settings as the default 'Epic' settings (3440x1440 native, no DLSS etc.) was not getting a consistent 60fps+, but have now changed to 'High' settings with DLSS DLAA and getting more like 70-90FPS depending on number of NPCs.
There is still some 'stuttering' or what looks like low FPS, but the frame timing and FPS graph isn't showing any big drops, so I don't know where they're coming from.
I guess patch 3 will fix them further, or I could try even lower settings

Well, got patch 1.0.2 yesterday, and now I can't use my controller. It works in every other game, just not this one!
Looks like there's a conflict between the game and Microsoft GameService service, and it's completely random as to whether it will/will not affect you.
The 30-60 seconds of compiling shaders at EVERY launch is a PITA when you're restarting multiple times to try and get the controller recognised.
Glad I didn't buy it now!
