Best Dying Light: The Beast settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 41FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dying Light: The Beast is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 41 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 59 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 33 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dying Light: The Beast at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. 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
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.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the open world renders - a real cost given the parkour sightlines. High is a clean trade.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Plant and tree density in the overgrown world. A real cost outdoors.
Particles QualityHighbaseline
Blood, fire and combat effects. Lowering smooths the zombie swarms at night.
Contact ShadowsOnbaseline
Fine shadows where objects meet surfaces. A small saving when off.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
