Summary
- STALKER 2 may get its own themed RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card from MSI and Nvidia at a higher price point.
- The release date and cost of the STALKER 2 graphics card are unknown, but it follows similar themed releases from MSI.
- The highly anticipated STALKER 2 game is set to launch on November 20 after a delay, offering a nonlinear open-world experience.
A new product listing from Nvidia and MSI seemed to confirm that another iteration of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card with a backplate themed on STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl is in the works. Further details from Nvidia such as the price and availability of the STALKER 2 peripheral were not known at the time of writing.
The news of STALKER 2 joining the collectible graphics card lineup from MSI and Nvidia came just days after GSC Game World gave fans a deep dive into the highly-anticipated title. STALKER 2 will feature an open take of The Zone, as it is littered with radioactive zombies and mutant enemies. In addition to the dangerous foes, the environment of STALKER 2's Zone will also be another obstacle for players to work around. Radiation and anomalies can either help or hinder players looking to experience the story of the STALKER series for the first time or see what's changed from the first iteration.
With STALKER 2 just a few months out, MSI and Nvidia are teaming up to potentially give fans a new collectible to consider. According to a product listing on the EEC registry (transcribed by VideoCardz), the MSI Geforce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G Gaming X Slim graphics card will have a variant theme based on STALKER 2 in the coming months. This graphics card would follow similar releases from MSI's Gaming X Slim product line, which featured backplates made for the launch of Black Myth: Wukong and the 20th Anniversary of World of Warcraft. Though these GPUs are based on the RTX 4070 SUPER with 12GB of VRAM, the STALKER 2 version of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER would be the technically superior model set at a higher price point. At the time of writing, the RTX 4070 SUPER Ti is available starting at $799.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl Collectible GPU Listed
- An EEC listing states MSI and Nvidia may release a STALKER 2 RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card soon.
- The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER starts at $799, but the price and release date of the STALKER 2 version are not known.
- Similar RTX 40 SUPER Series cards themed on Black Myth: Wukong and World of Warcraft were released in 2024.
- The listed STALKER 2 RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is part of MSI's Gaming X Slim lineup.
Although a STALKER 2 version of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER would cost extra compared to other offerings from MSI, the EEC filing also listed a few incoming Nvidia products, potentially the rumored RTX 4070 lineup with 12GB of GDDR6 RAM rather than the previously-used GDDR6X chips. The listed models are MSI Ventus GPUs, with two-fan and three-fan configurations.
Following a delay from STALKER 2's previous September 5 launch date, the highly anticipated horror FPS will now go live on November 20. As GSC Game World polishes out any lingering issues in the ensuing months, only time will tell how STALKER 2 will be received by fans eagerly awaiting its release.
