On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Alan Wake 2 runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 26FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 26 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 44 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 25 FPS at 4K. Alan Wake 2 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB 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 | 26 | 60 |
| 1440p | 16 | 44 |
| 4K | 9 | 25 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) averages around 60 FPS at 1080p in Alan Wake 2 — up from about 26 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (laptop, 6GB) averages roughly 44 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 Volumetric Lighting 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.
