We'd been expecting a game to arrive that would practically demand that you upgrade your PC hardware, and it's not entirely surprising that it would be Remedy's Alan Wake 2 . However, what we didn't expect was it would be support for DX12 mesh shader hardware that would be the dividing line between a good experience and a bad one.
The general panic surrounding Alan Wake's PC performance was amplified somewhat by recommended specs from Remedy itself, which - I think it's fair to say - are somewhat conservative. Remedy lists the AMD Radeon RX 6600 as a base-spec GPU for Alan Wake 2, citing 1080p at low settings at 30fps in terms of expectation levels for that class of hardware.
Looking at the console versions of Alan Wake 2 demonstrates how you can still get a fantastic-looking PC experience without needing to spend a fortune on an absolute top-end GPU. In short, Alan Wake 2 may be demanding an upgrade for those on older GPUs, but the game is scalable enough to ensure you don't need to be spending thousands on an RTX 4090 to be able to enjoy an excellent experience from the game.
