Best Dying Light: The Beast settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 83 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 84FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB 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 83 FPSwith 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 83 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Dying Light: The Beast, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

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