Best Dying Light: The Beast 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: The Beast runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 66FPS 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: The Beast is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 65 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 65 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 55 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	66	65
1440p	40	61
4K	22	55

💡 Dying Light: The Beast: Open-world parkour leans on View Distance; full ray tracing is very heavy.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSROff

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.

Draw Distance MultiplierHighbaseline

Render distance of surface geometry and shaders - the single most taxing setting 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.

Screen Space ShadowsOnbaseline

Renders fine shadows missed by shadow maps - foliage and finer geometry. 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.
