Best Dying Light: The Beast settings for the ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) (2026)

On a ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Dying Light: The Beast runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 35FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Dying Light: The Beast is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 35 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 51 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 29 FPS at 4K. Dying Light: The Beast offers ray tracing, but the ROG Ally / Legion Go (Z1 Extreme) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dying Light: The Beast at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR 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 — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
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.
Draw Distance MultiplierMedium+6% FPS
Render distance of surface geometry and shaders - the single most taxing setting given the parkour sightlines. High is a clean trade.
Screen Space ShadowsOff+5% FPS
Renders fine shadows missed by shadow maps - foliage and finer geometry. A small saving when off.
Shadow QualityMedium+4% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
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.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium keeps the image clean cheaply.
