Best Dying Light: The Beast settings for the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 48FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dying Light: The Beast is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 63 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 40 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB 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.

💡 Dying Light: The Beast: Open-world parkour leans on View Distance; full ray tracing is very heavy.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Dying Light: The Beast (C-Engine) supports DLSS and FSR plus Frame Generation. A free FPS boost - enable it first.
Ray Tracing (GI / Reflections / Shadows)Offsaves FPS
Full ray-traced lighting, reflections and shadows - gorgeous in the open world but very heavy. Keep Off unless you have headroom and Frame Gen on.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Draw Distance MultiplierHighbaseline
Render distance of surface geometry and shaders - the single most taxing setting given the parkour sightlines. High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and tree density in the overgrown world. A real cost outdoors.
Particles QualityHighbaseline
Blood, fire and combat effects. Lowering smooths the zombie swarms at night.
Screen Space ShadowsOnbaseline
Renders fine shadows missed by shadow maps - foliage and finer geometry. A small saving when off.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
