On a NVIDIA RTX 2060 (laptop, 6GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Alan Wake 2 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 34FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 2060 (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 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 34 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 57 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 32 FPS at 4K. Alan Wake 2 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 2060 (laptop, 6GB) 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 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Alan Wake 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 34 | 61 |
| 1440p | 20 | 57 |
| 4K | 11 | 32 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the NVIDIA RTX 2060 (laptop, 6GB) averages around 61 FPS at 1080p in Alan Wake 2 — up from about 34 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA RTX 2060 (laptop, 6GB) averages roughly 57 FPS in Alan Wake 2; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on DLSS (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.
