Dying Light: The Beast received ray tracing and DLSS 4 support from NVIDIA upon release. The PC version implements global illumination, shadows, reflections, and occlusion. NVIDIA presented benchmarks in 1080p, 1440p, and 4K with maximum settings.
The results were obtained on GeForce RTX 50 series video cards with DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation (4X) enabled. When using DLSS Super Resolution with the new "Transformer" model and ultra-preset in 4K, the RTX 5090 showed an average of 336 fps, and the RTX 5080 — 227 fps. According to NVIDIA, DLSS 4 increases performance in 4K by 7.6 times, but a minimum of RTX 5070 Ti is required to play in this resolution.
In 1440p, DLSS increases the speed by five times: the RTX 5090 reaches 416 fps, and all cards from RTX 5070 and above produce over 200 fps. NVIDIA clarifies that Multi Frame Generation is needed to maximize the high refresh rate of the monitor.
In 1080p, even the RTX 5060 showed 190 fps with DLSS 4 in tests. For this model, it is recommended to reduce the settings from Ultra to High in order to exceed 200 fps with ray tracing enabled. The DLSS Quality preset was used in the tests to maintain image clarity at the native level.
