On a AMD Radeon 890M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Alan Wake 2 runs at roughly 45 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 16FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD Radeon 890M (iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is playable at 1080p — about 45 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 16 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 45 FPS at 1080p and 28 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 16 FPS at 4K. Alan Wake 2 offers ray tracing, but the AMD Radeon 890M (iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Alan Wake 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 16 | 45 |
| 1440p | 10 | 28 |
| 4K | 6 | 16 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD Radeon 890M (iGPU) averages around 45 FPS at 1080p in Alan Wake 2 — up from about 16 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD Radeon 890M (iGPU) averages roughly 28 FPS in Alan Wake 2; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Global Illumination and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
