Hell, even with DLSS Performance Mode, we saw numerous dips to 50fps (though we did have an average of 60fps).Īll in all, the Ray Tracing effects of Dying Light 2 are quite demanding. Techland claims an RTX3080 with DLSS should be able to provide 60fps with Ray Tracing at 4K, however, that’s not accurate. As for 4K/DLSS Quality, our RTX3080 was able to push 31-33fps.

Thus, we recommend staying away from it (unless it’s your only option and you cannot use DLSS). Also, and while FSR Quality runs better than DLSS Quality, its image quality is truly awful. As such, DLSS is essential for enabling the game’s Ray Tracing effects.

As for native 4K/Ultra/Ray Tracing, we are looking at some lovely 18-20fps.īy enabling DLSS Quality (or AMD FSR), we were able to get a smooth 60fps experience at both 1080p and 1440p. Owners of GSync/Freesync displays will be able to enjoy a somehow smooth experience as there were drops to 57fps. Our RTX3080 was unable to offer a constant 60fps experience even at 1080p/Ultra/Ray Tracing. Nevertheless, PC gamers will definitely need an NVIDIA RTX GPU (good luck running the game with AMD’s GPUs). This is to be expected as Dying Light 2 uses Ray Tracing for multiple effects. Ray Tracing in Dying Light 2 comes with a major performance hit. Below you can find some comparison screenshots, rendered in native 4K (Ray Tracing is on the left and the rasterized version is on the right). The visual improvements are so dramatic that the rasterized version feels more like the game running at “Medium/Low” settings. Take for instance the last comparison screenshot. In fact, some scenes can have a next-gen jump over their rasterized versions. And, contrary to other titles, you can immediately notice these graphical improvements. In most cases, Ray Tracing can greatly improve the visuals of the game. Still, this is something most of you should be aware of. Thankfully, though, there aren’t a lot of scenes that have this issue. And, unfortunately, this can result in some inconsistent visuals. This is most likely due to the limited distance that the rays travel in this game. In the RT screenshot, the lighting/ambient occlusion falls back to the rasterized version at the middle of the tunnel. As you can clearly see, the lighting is messed up. Take for example the first comparison and look at the tunnel. The bad news is that Ray Tracing can sometimes result in some weird results. And, we have some good and some bad news. Strangely enough, the game does not offer any Ultra Quality mode for AMD FSR.ĭying Light 2 supports ray-traced reflections, global illumination, ambient occlusion and shadows. This is to be expected of course as FSR Quality renders at a lower resolution than DLSS Quality. Performance-wise, AMD FSR Quality is slightly faster than NVIDIA DLSS Quality.

The game’s latest PC patch significantly reduces the ghosting/smearing issues of DLSS.

We’ll be sure to re-test DLSS once the game comes out and update this article. The green team told us that the DLSS implementation is currently bugged and that it’s working on a fix for the launch version of the game. We’ve already informed NVIDIA about these issues, and the company is aware of them. This is a damn shame because DLSS does actually re-construct some distant objects (that AMD FSR does not). Due to these issues, the game also looks on par with AMD FSR. On the other hand, NVIDIA DLSS currently suffers from some ghosting issues whenever you stop moving the camera. AMD FSR Quality is noticeably blurrier than the native resolution. As such, and for these particular benchmarks, we’ve benchmarked the starting area.īelow you can find some comparison screenshots between Native 4K (left), NVIDIA DLSS Quality (middle) and AMD FSR Quality (right).

We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce 511.65 driver.ĭying Light 2 does not feature any built-in benchmark tool. And, since the game supports both AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS (as well as Ray Tracing), we’ve decided to first benchmark these features.įor these benchmarks and image comparisons, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3800Mhz and NVIDIA’s RTX 3080. Dying Light 2: Stay Human releases this Friday and Techland has provided us with a review code.
