Alan Wake 2 benchmark on RX 6950 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Alan Wake 2 FPS with a RX 6950 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 73FPS min 58Good | 60FPS min 52Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable |
| High | 95FPS min 75Good | 78FPS min 68Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable |
| Medium | 125FPS min 99Excellent | 102FPS min 89Good | 67FPS min 59Good |
| Low | 161FPS min 127Excellent | 132FPS min 115Excellent | 87FPS min 77Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 14% | balanced | GPU 37% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6950 XT. There is 13% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Alan Wake 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 6950 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 73 | 91 | 106 |
| 1440p | 60 | 81 | 99 |
| 4K | 40 | 58 | 74 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6950 XT does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 6950 XT has headroom to spare in Alan Wake 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 6950 XT Enough for Alan Wake 2?
The RX 6950 XT delivers 73 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Alan Wake 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 60 FPS and at 4K 40 FPS at Ultra quality.
Want more FPS in Alan Wake 2?
Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Alan Wake 2 with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RX 6950 XT or RTX 3090 for Alan Wake 2?
In Alan Wake 2 at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 73 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
