Remedy Entertainment's upcoming horror Alan Wake 2 is launching later this week with a full slate of ray-traced features and today, Nvidia have decided to showcase these features with a new RTX overview trailer.
As confirmed previously, Alan Wake 2 launches with path-tracing, which includes ray-traced lighting, reflections and shadows as a one complete package that elevates the visuals significantly. Nvidia confirmed that Alan Wake 2 will feature a total of eleven ray-traced effects.
Nvidia DLSS 3.5 and ray reconstruction are also in the game for improved performance and visual quality of ray-tracing and Nvidia revealed in the blog post how both of these features will impact the visuals.
As for the performance on Nvidia's RTX 4000 series, well, it doesn't look too bad is the official slides are to be trusted. With DLSS 3.5 Quality preset, pretty much every 4000 card is powerful enough to reach well over 60 FPS at its respective resolution.
Expensive cards like RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 are well capable of delivering high frame-rates at 4K while cards like RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti are working great at 1080p judging by the graphs in the blog post.
Obviously, until we get some independent benchmarks, take these graphs with a grain of salt, especially since the official PC system requirements for Alan Wake 2 are quite demanding.
Nvidia will look to offer more performance with Alan Wake 2 game-ready driver, which will be available on October 26, 2023.
