Remedy is lowering the official minimum system requirements for Alan Wake 2 on PC. The sequel launched in October without full support for Nvidia's GTX 10 series of GPUs because Remedy opted for mesh shading which is part of DirectX 12 Ultimate and is not supported by GPUs like Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1070 or RX 5600. AMD XT.
Now, The remedy has “optimized rendering for GPUs that don't support mesh shaders,” meaning the minimum GPU requirements now include the GeForce GTX 1070 and Radeon RX 5600 XT instead of the more powerful GeForce RTX 2060 and Radeon RX 6600. Those are good news for owners of older cards. PC gaming platforms, especially like Alan Wake 2 For starters, it had some pretty high GPU requirements.
Now you should be able to play Alan Wake 2 at 1080p/30fps on the GTX 1070 and RX 5600 cards, but if you still have a GTX 1060 you may be able to get a more playable frame rate now. Digital Foundry took a look early in the new Alan Wake 2 patched earlier this week and found some demanding areas on a GTX 1060 now producing 26fps instead of 18fps.
Even modern GPUs get some performance improvements with this latest patch, and the RTX 4070 saw a frame rate increase of nearly 14 percent, according to Digital Foundry evidence. Update 1.0.16.1 is available for Alan Wake 2 today.
