FAQ

FAQ: Alan Wake 2 x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

What is the optimal setting for playing Alan Wake 2 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti?

We recommend "1080p / Ultimate / FG: ON" for comfort. By leveraging AI enhancements, you can maintain high visual quality while ensuring smooth gameplay.

Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti run Alan Wake 2 on Ultra settings?

Yes, but frame drops may occur. For a stable 60FPS, try high settings (81 FPS).

Can I play Alan Wake 2 at 4K resolution with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti?

4K is not recommended for this setup. The game averages only 30 FPS at 4K even on Standard settings. We suggest playing at 1440p or 1080p for a better experience.

Can I use Frame Generation (DLSS 3 / FSR 3) in Alan Wake 2 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti?

Yes, it is supported. While Alan Wake 2 supports DLSS FG, your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is not compatible with it, so this simulation utilizes FSR FG instead. Combining this with DLSS upscaling ensures high image quality.
