I played it with a 4070 and I got 30 FPS average at 4K @ Max Settings with Path Tracing and DLSS 3.5. Lowest I got was 20-25 FPS on the woods with Saga, but on smaller levels or even The Dark Place with Alan Wake, it plays at 30-40 FPS. It looks absolutely amazing. I posted lots of 4K screenshots and Path Tracing On Vs Off on my website: https://www.pcmrace.com/2023/10/26/...lay-alan-wake-2-en-4k-con-detalles-al-maximo/

Nice to know that 3rd party devs can push the tech graphics in a generation.

To the people who won't buy because no physical, What are you going to do when its all digital? Just give up gaming?

Bluray and DVD Movies (DVD is over 10 years older than bluray) are still availabie to buy. Music CD’s are still available to buy. Vinyl records made a return to retail. Cassette tapes too even.

Physical games are going anywhere anytime soon.

I don't think it looks better than just says, TLOU Remake.

If TLOU Remake is properly ported it would run better too.

Maybe it just youtube compression ruining AW2

I think TLOU remake do indoor interiors really well at max settings.

I would try this on Saturday, it would probably destroy my 6900
