Alan Wake 2 release date is tomorrow and the PC system requirements have caused headlines. I've already tested all of the Nvidia GPUs in the system requirements list here: https://youtu.be/kMHxkrABRNs So in this video I am following up by testing all of the AMD GPUs in the Alan Wake 2 PC system requirements list (and more!). Note on drivers: while in the video I mention that AMD did not have a specific driver for this game, I was using the latest driver I found on AMD's website 23.10.2. have seen an article stating AMD has a driver that includes Alan Wake Optimizations but it is not part of their official branch: Article link here: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-releases-special-adrenalin-gpu-driver-for-alan-wake-2
