Alan Wake 2 is the latest game from Remedy Entertainment, a developer whose prestigious output includes Control (2019) and the first two Max Payne titles on PC and PS2. As covered by Compusemble in the benchmarking tests embedded below, Alan Wake 2 boasts incredibly high NVMe storage use, peaking at 2.74 GB/s of throughput, particularly during the game's trippy Mind Palace sequences.
Like Control, Alan Wake 2 has become notorious as a test for modern real-time ray tracing-capable GPUs but takes it even further by requiring mesh shaders across the board, adding support for path tracing, and targeting an even higher degree of realism as a result.
