On a NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Alan Wake 2 runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 46FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 61 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 46 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Alan Wake 2 supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) 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. 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 | 76 | 76 |
| 1440p | 46 | 61 |
| 4K | 26 | 63 |

At 1440p with optimized settings, the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (laptop, 12GB) averages roughly 61 FPS in Alan Wake 2 — a smooth experience.
Turn on DLSS (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.
