Best Dying Light 2 Stay Human 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 2 Stay Human runs at roughly 17 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 8FPS 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 2 Stay Human is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 17 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 17 FPS at 1080p and 10 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. Dying Light 2 Stay Human offers ray tracing, but the Intel UHD 770 (desktop 12th/13th Gen) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 2GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dying Light 2 Stay Human 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Dying Light 2 supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, and it is basically required if you want ray tracing.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
RT lighting transforms the city but is very heavy — Global Illumination is the most demanding option. Off (or Reflections only) keeps FPS high on most cards.
Foliage QualityLow+12% FPS
Density and detail of plants and trees across the open world — one of the heaviest non-RT settings. Medium is the value pick.
Shadow Map SizeLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Medium looks close to High while running noticeably faster.
Particles QualityLow+6% FPS
Smoke, sparks and combat effects. Drops most during fights — Medium keeps things steady.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shading in corners and crevices. Low is a cheap middle ground.
Contact ShadowsOffbaseline
Adds fine extra shadows where objects meet surfaces. Costly for a subtle effect — turn it off first for free frames.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
