Best Alan Wake 2 graphics settings for AMD Radeon RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 and 6600 XT are 1080p gaming graphics cards from the last generation. They are considerably slower than the Nvidia equivalents, the 3060 and 3060 Ti. Hence, these GPUs aren't the best choices for playing the latest and most demanding video games like Alan Wake.

The graphics cards, however, support all the technologies the new survival horror game utilizes to deliver top-notch visuals. However, AMD graphics haven't received support for FSR frame generation yet, which can make high-framerate gaming a bit difficult.

Players need to crank down the settings with these graphics cards to combat these issues. To help you get the best experiences, we will list the best settings combination for the 6600 and 6600 XT in this article.
