Best Dying Light settings for the Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light runs at roughly 16 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 7FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Dying Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 16 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 7 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 16 FPS at 1080p and 10 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	7	16
1440p	4	10
4K	2	6

💡 Dying Light: The original Dying Light - View Distance is the biggest lever in the open world.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

The original Dying Light has no DLSS, but the render-resolution slider is the biggest GPU lever. (Above 100% it supersamples and costs FPS.)

View DistanceLow+13% FPS

How far the open world renders — the heaviest setting and partly CPU-bound. High avoids most pop-in for less than Max.

Shadow Map SizeLow+10% FPS

Shadow map resolution and range. Medium is a strong step down from High.

Foliage QualityLow+8% FPS

Density of grass and plants — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shading (with an NVIDIA HBAO+ option). Cheap — leave it on unless you need the frames.

Anti-AliasingOff+4% FPS

Edge smoothing. Cheap; drop it a notch if you need frames in the busy streets.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
