Alan Wake 2 PC Performance Tested! Low, Med, High, FSR, DLSS 3.5, Path Tracing and More!
Alan 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.
