Best Dying Light 2 Stay Human settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Dying Light 2 Stay Human runs at roughly 72 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 53FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 72 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 53 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 131 FPS at 1080p and 94 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 72 FPS at 4K. Dying Light 2 Stay Human supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti 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. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Open-world parkour with heavy foliage; full ray-traced GI is very demanding - turn RT off first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
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.
