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, FSR set to native resolution, DX12 API.

Our first game of the day is a new one for our test suite – it's Alan Wake II and it's quite a tough test even at 1440p. The RTX 4070 Super averages 58FPS, making it just 5% slower than the RTX 4070 Ti, or 18% faster than the vanilla 4070.

4K is unfortunately just too demanding without some form of upscaling, the 4070 Super barely exceeds 30FPS, though it's a lot closer to the 4070 Ti than the original RTX 4070.
