AMD RX 7900 GRE Review

Alan Wake 2 is a 2023 survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. A sequel to Alan Wake, the story follows best-selling novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI special agent named Saga Anderson. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023. (Wikipedia)

Engine: Northlight. We test using the High preset, High Ray Tracing preset, FSR set to Quality upscaling, DXR API.

Starting our look at ray tracing performance with Alan Wake 2, AMD GPUs struggle with the path traced lighting in this title, reducing the RX 7900 GRE to a mere 18FPS at 1440p, and that's with FSR Quality upscaling. Clearly, an Nvidia GPU is almost a requirement to play with the RT High preset here.
