Alan Wake 2 is a 2023 survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. A sequel to Alan Wake, the story follows best-selling novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI special agent named Saga Anderson. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Northlight. We test using the High preset, FSR set to native resolution, DX12 API.

Kicking off with Alan Wake 2, at 1080p the B570 delivers 37fps using the High preset, making it 11% slower than both the B580 and RTX 4060. It's also dead level with the Arc A770, and just a frame faster than the RTX 3060 12GB.

1440p gaming isn't really possible at these settings as we only saw 25fps on average and even worse 1% lows, so you'd want to enable upscaling or drop down to something like the Low preset.
