Daniel OwenAlan Wake 2 release date is tomorrow and many PC gamers will want to know if the extremely demanding system requirements are for real. In this video I benchmark Alan Wake 2 PC performance on a variety of GPUs and settings from the system requirements list to see how they stack up. I also test the performance of a GTX 10 series GPU to see if the mesh shaders requirement makes the game unplayable. I also take a brief look at DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction and the game's "fully ray traced" path tracing mode.

While there is some good news regarding support for things like FSR 3 and DLSS 3 frame generation, there is also some bad news like stutters, uneven frame pacing, and a 30 FPS cap during the numerous cutscenes. In this video I do some initial testing on the minimum GPU (GTX 1070), the recommended GPU (RX 6700 XT) and even an RTX 4090. However, I have not played enough of the game to say if the section of the game I am testing is representative of more demanding scenes in the game. But this isn't the final release, so I am hoping for some improvements before launch.

Certain graphics settings don't really seem to have much of a performance impact, so they can be left at maximum, while taking a few key settings down to medium yields a substantial performance boost. Then the render resolution slider can be played with as needed, especially if on a higher resolution display.
