Alan Wake 2 from the Finnish studio Remedy is a visually impressive and technically very advanced game. This level, of course, has its consequences in the form of higher hardware requirements for the PC version. To support the so-called mesh shaders in DirectX 12 Remedy, at least a GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 6600 video card is required., so users of old cards are officially out of luck. Although you can run the game with them, the subsequent gaming experience is not at all pleasant. In fact, due to significant frame rate drops and graphical bugs, even at the lowest detail setting and at any resolution, it’s quite poor.
In short, if you’re still using a GTX 1060, 1070, 1080 or 1080 Ti or AMD equivalent, it doesn’t make sense to assume you’ll be playing Remedy’s new game just yet. In the same time Some of these cards are still quite popular even though they hit the market back in 2016.. Judging by Steam statistics, today less than 10% of players still use them, and the GTX 1060 in particular is still a fairly common piece of hardware today. Thus, Remedy is missing out on an important part of the market, and now one of the Finnish creators has clearly decided to do something about it. The studio announced that a new patch will be released this week that will officially lower the minimum hardware requirements for the PC version. Alan Wake 2. The update apparently affects the game’s dependence on mesh shaders.
