Digital Foundry's non-RT 'Optimized Settings' for Alan Wake 2 - one of the best-looking games on PC. Its Medium preset already beats most games' Ultra, so DF's tuned config keeps textures/filtering high while dropping volumetrics and post-processing to Low. On an RTX 4070 at 1440p with DLSS Quality this holds ~60-70FPS.

Notes
Digital Foundry non-RT optimized: Post-Processing -> Low; Texture Resolution -> Medium or higher; Texture Filtering -> High; Volumetric Lighting -> Low; Volumetric Spotlight Quality -> Low. The Medium preset already looks superb, so these tweaks cost almost no fidelity. On RTX 4070 at 1440p + DLSS Quality this lands ~60-70FPS. If you want RT: DF's RT-optimized config (for 4070) is Direct Lighting On, Ray Reconstruction On, Indirect Lighting Low, Transparency Low - pair with Frame Generation to stay at 60.Hardware
