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.
