Best Dead by Daylight settings for the NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dead by Daylight runs at roughly 12 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Dead by Daylight is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 12 FPS with 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 12 FPS at 1080p and 7 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Dead by Daylight (Unreal Engine) supports DLSS and FSR. Helpful, though the game is light on modern GPUs.
Graphics QualityLow+10% FPS
The master quality preset. Dead by Daylight's in-game menu is deliberately limited — this preset drives texture, effects and foliage detail together (granular tuning needs config-file edits).
Shadow QualityLow+8% FPS
Shadow resolution. Many survivors run Low so shadows don't hide the killer.
Post-ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom and depth of field. Low keeps the image clear during chases.
Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps things clean cheaply.
