Alan Wake 2 Becomes First Game to Feature Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry

Update 1.2.8 introduces DLSS 4 and RTX Mega Geometry, enhancing ray tracing performance and image quality across Nvidia RTX GPUs.

Alan Wake 2's latest update, 1.2.8, adds Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry technology, significantly improving ray tracing efficiency and visual fidelity.
The update also incorporates DLSS 4, featuring new AI models for Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, compatible with all RTX GPUs.
RTX Mega Geometry enables up to 100x more triangles to be ray-traced, reducing CPU overhead and improving performance, even on older RTX 40-series GPUs.
Tests show a 13% reduction in VRAM usage and noticeable frame rate improvements for Alan Wake 2, with greater benefits expected on RTX 50-series cards.
The update introduces an 'Ultra' ray tracing preset, enhancing reflections and lighting, but it requires DLSS Ray Reconstruction for optimal performance.
