Dying Light: The Beast is finally out on PC and other platforms. Developed with the same engine used to create its prequels, The Beast offers gorgeous visuals and smooth performance thanks to its modest system requirements. Players who own high-end GPUs should comfortably be able to run the game at higher resolutions and settings. However, settings optimization is crucial to get a good balance of visual quality and performance.
This guide lists the best graphics settings for Dying Light: The Beast on high-end graphics cards.
The best graphics settings for Dying Light: The Beast on high-end GPUs

The recommended GPU for playing Dying Light: The Beast is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which features 8GB of VRAM. Any graphics card with similar or higher specifications can run the game smoothly at elevated graphics settings.
Popular high-end options from Nvidia include the RTX 3070 Ti, 3080, 4070, 4080, and all cards in the 90-class series. Newer GPUs from the 50 series, such as the RTX 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090, also fall into the same category of high-performance hardware.
From AMD, fitting choices include the Radeon RX 6700 XT, RX 6750 XT, RX 7800, RX 7900 XT, and newer models like the RX 9070. Intel GPUs like the Arc B570 and B580 are also excellent options for running The Beast.
All of the GPUs mentioned above are designed for 1440p and 4K gaming. Playing the game at these resolutions is recommended for the best visual experience.

While we've opted for 1440p resolution, certain 80-class and 90-class GPUs can handle up to 4K resolution, provided you own a supporting monitor. For upscaling, go for DLSS or FSR (depending on your GPU), set to Quality mode. This should give you a significant boost in both visual quality and performance.
However, on more powerful GPUs, we recommend using DLAA, as it provides the best quality. Enable Frame Generation if you need better performance, but considering how well optimized the game is, you should be fine without it.
We've set all the graphics settings to High, so the visuals look phenomenal at higher resolutions. Frame Generation isn't crucial, and we recommend you keep it off in most cases, as it could blur the quality.
