I’ve been playing a bit of Alan Wake 2 using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, and the horror sequel really helps the premium graphics card strut its stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I’d fully expect the GPU to impress in the latest games since it normally costs over $1,000, but I reckon the creepy caper highlights exactly what you’re paying for, and the DLSS 3.5 experience at hand is a strong reason to keep an eye out for discounts this Black Friday.
Before the enthusiasts come for me, I’m well aware that using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to play Alan Wake 2 is going to yield better results. I mean, it is the best graphics card going at the moment, and that’s reflected in its absurdly high price. The thing is, I don’t think Black Friday graphics card deals will include any meaningful discounts on the premium GPU, whereas the RTX 4080 has already dropped to record lows ahead of the event.
