On a AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Alan Wake 2 runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 48FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 46 FPS at 4K. Alan Wake 2 supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 8GB 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 | 48 | 64 |
| 1440p | 29 | 60 |
| 4K | 16 | 46 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) averages around 64 FPS at 1080p in Alan Wake 2 — up from about 48 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) averages roughly 60 FPS in Alan Wake 2 — a smooth experience.
Turn on FSR (Quality), 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.
