Can the ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) run Alan Wake 2? (2026)

✅ Yes

~62 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) is a handheld card with 4GB of VRAM, and Alan Wake 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 62 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	25	62
1440p	15	45
4K	9	25

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 62 FPS, at 1440p about 45 FPS, and at 4K roughly 25 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
