On a AMD RX 540 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 22 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 9FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 540 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Dying Light: The Beast is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 22 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 9 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 22 FPS at 1080p and 13 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 7 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 540 (4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dying Light: The Beast at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 9 | 22 |
| 1440p | 5 | 13 |
| 4K | 3 | 7 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX 540 (4GB) averages around 22 FPS at 1080p in Dying Light: The Beast — up from about 9 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX 540 (4GB) averages roughly 13 FPS in Dying Light: The Beast; turn on upscaling or aim for a locked 60 for the best feel.
Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like View Distance and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
