You can refund it on Epic within 2 hours or 14 days too , they've got the same refund policy as Steam

Oh ok interesting. Still not using it mind

Performance on a 3070 looks really rough (low, no RT). Guess it's a vram thing. I'm guessing a lot of cherry-picking (for performance) will be possible for this title depending on the scene.

According to Techpowerup the game uses a lot of VRAM (up to 18GB with pathtracing and frame generation):

Alan Wake 2 Performance Benchmark Review - 30 GPUs Tested

Alan Wake 2 is out soon, with incredible graphics, but demanding hardware requirements, too. There's forced DLSS/FSR, but we show you how to tweak the config files to get native back. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a wide...

I wish Nvidia hadn't been so stingy with VRAM on the 30 series, but I knew it would be a problem when I bought my 3080 FE (thankfully for MSRP) and so it proves to be.

Just realised I've lied, by virtue of the fact I use UE5, I have the epic launcher installed lol. No games installed but I have just seen I collected loads of freebies including Subnautica which was recommend to me.

Subnautica (the first one) is a masterpiece, the sequel not so much. Epic is great for freebies, picked up some cracking titles for nothing on there over the years.

Looks alright actually lol

It is , and one of the few games where you can co-op together with VR and non-VR players, so not everyone needs VR to join in

The game is gorgeous, even on lower settings. Runs well on my RX 6800. Can do 60 fps at 4K with FSR2 Performance (but mix of settings levels) or just max it out with Ultra Performance. Ofc, no RT, tested it for a bit but seemed somewhat borked for me (didn't get the driver for AW2 though). The atmosphere is on point but not really my thing, and unfortunately as I suspected there's not much of an actual game to it. More of an experience (or walking simulator, if I were less charitable), which is fine.

Not sure I'd necessarily recommend playing it, let alone upgrading for it.

It's not 1996.

Kinda wish it was

As long as it has the atmosphere I will be happy, the thing I most loved about Alan Wake 1 was that it was the closest thing I had experienced to being in a Stephen King novel. So if it encapsulates that again, that will do me nicely

Change the 2nd 9 for an 8 and I would agree with you

Yeah, I don't mind more 'experience' type games either if it's to my taste. In this case they did execute quite well on the atmosphere so you'll enjoy it.

Maintaining 60fps in 1440, DLSS on quality , all settings on High, motion blur and film grain off of course. Frame Generation on, raytracing on medium. That'll do.
