Best Dying Light: The Beast settings for the Intel Arc A380 (2026)

On a Intel Arc A380 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 26FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc A380 is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB 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 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 26 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast supports ray tracing and the Intel Arc A380 can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dying Light: The Beast at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is XeSS 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 XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% 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.
Draw Distance MultiplierLow+12% FPS
Render distance of surface geometry and shaders - the single most taxing setting given the parkour sightlines. High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityLow+9% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Foliage QualityLow+7% FPS
Plant and tree density in the overgrown world. A real cost outdoors.
Screen Space ShadowsOff+5% FPS
Renders fine shadows missed by shadow maps - foliage and finer geometry. A small saving when off.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Particles QualityMedium+3% FPS
Blood, fire and combat effects. Lowering smooths the zombie swarms at night.
Anti-AliasingMedium+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
