On a NVIDIA RTX 5090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Dying Light 2 Stay Human runs at roughly 96 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 96FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 32GB of VRAM, and Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs great at 4K — about 96 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 152 FPS at 1080p and 152 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 96 FPS at 4K. Dying Light 2 Stay Human supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5090 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 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 152 | 152 |
| 1440p | 152 | 152 |
| 4K | 96 | 96 |
