Alan Wake — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.
Developer: Remedy Entertainment · Released: Feb 16, 2012 · Genres: Action, Adventure

System requirements — Alan Wake
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.
| Component | Minimum (Steam) | Recommended (Steam) |
|---|---|---|
| OS * | Windows XP SP2 | Windows 7 |
| Processor | Dual Core 2GHz Intel or 2.8GHz AMD | Quad Core 2.66GHz Intel or 3.2GHz AMD |

| Hard Drive | 8 GB HD space | 8 GB HD space |
| Sound | DirectX 9.0c compatible | DirectX 9.0c compatible |
Hardware demand level
Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (integrated graphics). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Alan Wake.
