The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end card with 16GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 74 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 93 | 92 |
| 1440p | 56 | 74 |
| 4K | 32 | 60 |
At 1080p expect around 92 FPS, at 1440p about 74 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Alan Wake 2. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
