Best Dying Light 2 Stay Human settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Dying Light 2 Stay Human runs at roughly 69 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 69FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 11GB of VRAM, and Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 69 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 69 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 50 FPS at 4K. Dying Light 2 Stay Human offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

1080p	69	69
1440p	41	64
4K	23	50

💡 Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Open-world parkour with heavy foliage; full ray-traced GI is very demanding - turn RT off first.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSROff

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 QualityMediumbaseline

Density and detail of plants and trees across the open world — one of the heaviest non-RT settings. Medium is the value pick.

Contact ShadowsOffbaseline

Adds fine extra shadows where objects meet surfaces. Costly for a subtle effect — turn it off first for free frames.

Shadow Map SizeMediumbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. Medium looks close to High while running noticeably faster.

Particles QualityMediumbaseline

Smoke, sparks and combat effects. Drops most during fights — Medium keeps things steady.

Ambient OcclusionLowbaseline

Soft contact shading in corners and crevices. Low is a cheap middle ground.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
