Best Dying Light settings for the RTX 4080 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 4080 Laptop (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Dying Light runs at roughly 115 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 115FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The RTX 4080 Laptop is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Dying Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — about 115 FPS with 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 158 FPS at 1080p and 115 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Dying Light: The original Dying Light - View Distance is the biggest lever in the open world.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
The original Dying Light has no DLSS, but the render-resolution slider is the biggest GPU lever. (Above 100% it supersamples and costs FPS.)
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far the open world renders — the heaviest setting and partly CPU-bound. High avoids most pop-in for less than Max.
Shadow Map SizeHighbaseline
Shadow map resolution and range. Medium is a strong step down from High.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Density of grass and plants — partly a CPU cost. Medium is a safe trim.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shading (with an NVIDIA HBAO+ option). Cheap — leave it on unless you need the frames.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Cheap; drop it a notch if you need frames in the busy streets.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
