💡 Dying Light: The Beast: Open-world parkour leans on View Distance; full ray tracing is very heavy.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 54 FPS, at 1440p about 33 FPS, and at 4K roughly 18 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
