Alan Wake 2: FSR 2.2 vs. DLSS 3.5 Comparison Review
Alan Wake 2 is the second game to receive full support for NVIDIA's DLSS 3.5, which includes support for NVIDIA's DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, Frame Generation and DLAA. Also supported is AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution. In this mini-review we compare the image quality and...www.techpowerup.com
FSR2 vs DLSS
Almost identical at 4k, though FSR flickering on the fence is more noticeable than DLSS flickering on the water.
Either way, variable rate shading needs to be more common than temporal upscaling.

Alan Wake 1 vs Alan Wake 2.
It gave me a warning about my card not having mesh shader capability and then set it all to medium. I got 5 fps. Turned everything low/off and got 12 fps.

What resolution? Is there no way you get it to a playable frame rate regardless of graphics?
Seems a shame to abandon it if you've already spent the money.
Interesting approach.
Let's see what the advantagesand disadvantages are compared to Cyberpunk 2077's pathtracing.
I didn't, just tried my son's copy when he wasn't around. He has the same setup as me but a 2060 super, should be ok-ish.
So using the PS5 performance settings at 1440p DLSS balanced on a 3080. I'm in the first wooded area and I get about 120 fps, give or take at the place I'm measuring. If I set post processing to high, it drops to about 100. So gain about 20% performance changing it from high to low. With DLSS you don't get that weird flickering when you have post process low ... at least I haven't seen it yet. The game does look very soft, but also wildly good for low settings. I'll probably turn up reflections quality because they seem to be the noisiest part of the game from the DF breakdown.
Tried turning ray tracing on low and I get just over 60 fps in the area I'm in. Path tracing medium is almost 50 on the dot. No thanks. Guess I'll be sticking fairly close to some version of PS5 settings.

What’s the technical difference between pathtracing and raytracing for direct lights?
I don't think there would be? Direct lighting doesn't require bounces. It's just source to surface. Path tracing is bounces between surfaces and sources.
I've settled on using the PS5 quality settings, but texture resolution and filtering on high and post processing low. DLSS mostly gets rid of the flickering so far. I'm staying above 90 fps, which is enough for me. In town I think it's about 120. See if there are rougher spots later in the game.
Going to try the ini tweak for sharpening to see if I like it. Not going to turn off vignetting, lens distortion or film grain. They're too much a part of the artistic presentation.

Path tracing direct light will incur PT shadows, while ray tracing light will not necessarily do so.
Only in stills, difference is vast in motion though.
Just wanted to chime in that I'm absolutely loving this game!
One thing though.. just in case anyone here or family/loved ones has epilepsy.. definitely take this games warning screen seriously and take care when playing this game, because they use ultra fast camera cuts all over the place with extreme flashing with absolutely no warning to the player as jumpscares in the game.

Partial Path Tracing with one bounce? Marketing is getting beyond ridiculous.
