Best Dying Light settings for the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (2026)

On a Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light runs at roughly 27 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 12FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th 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 27 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 12 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 27 FPS at 1080p and 16 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 9 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 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.
