Best Dying Light settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1630 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1630 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1630 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Dying Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 39 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 22 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Dying Light: The original Dying Light - View Distance is the biggest lever in the open world.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
The original Dying Light has no DLSS, but the render-resolution slider is the biggest GPU lever. (Above 100% it supersamples and costs FPS.)
Shadow Map SizeLow+10% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. Medium is a strong step down from High.
Foliage QualityLow+8% FPS
Density of grass and plants — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.
View DistanceMedium+6% FPS
How far the open world renders — the heaviest setting and partly CPU-bound. High avoids most pop-in for less than Max.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shading (with an NVIDIA HBAO+ option). Cheap — leave it on unless you need the frames.
Anti-AliasingLow+2% FPS
Edge smoothing. Cheap; drop it a notch if you need frames in the busy streets.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
