On a AMD RX 580 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dead by Daylight runs at roughly 88 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 90FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 580 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Dead by Daylight is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 88 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 88 FPS at 1080p and 72 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 90 | 88 |
| 1440p | 54 | 72 |
