Why is ray tracing struggling on my new build?

Asked By TechieTurtle88 On

I recently built my first gaming rig, and while it runs quite well overall, I'm facing issues with ray tracing. My setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU and an Asrock RX 9700XT Challenger 16GB GPU, along with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6000 MHz, paired with a 1440P monitor. However, when I enabled ray tracing in Alan Wake 2, the performance was disappointing with frame skips and noticeable distortion—not exactly unplayable, but definitely not enjoyable. I'm curious if my CPU is simply not powerful enough for the task or if I might be missing something in the settings.

It sounds like you might have path tracing enabled, which can be demanding. Try switching to standard ray tracing settings instead and consider using FSR 4 quality along with frame generation. That might smooth things out for you!
