Alan Wake 2 coming

[SpyderTracks]

So I really will have to wait until I upgrade weather I like it or not, 1000 series NVidia and 5000 Series AMD not supported!

Pretty high hardware requirements

Alan Wake 2 Dev Says GTX 10 and 5000 GPUs Aren't Supported Due to Lack of Mesh Shaders

One of the developers who worked on Alan Wake 2 revealed why NVIDIA's GTX 10 Series and AMD's Radeon RX 5000 Series aren't supported on PC.

Well I'll be fine CPU wise, Just have to see how the 2070 super fares

You'll be fine, even if you have to lower to 1080p.

So, do we think a 4090 will be good enough for UW1440p High RT and DLSS Quality mode...or do I need a new motherboard/GPU that supports SLI

I don't think the requirements would have been any higher had they switched it over to Unreal 5 engine.

I seen much higher requirements somewhere else? Maybe they got it under control with the optimisation remember laughing at recommending a 4080 for 1080p

Will let someone who's bought AW2 give me the before & after driver update benchmarks...as I really don't want to be forced to slum it with DLSS Performance mode to get 60+ FPS.

No hadn't thought of that

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Are we betting on how many FPS for the 2070 (1440p, medium, DLSS quality, FG off)?

I’ll say 27fps.
