Yeah it is complete bs that the lag of us need like 2,5 time more vram compared to this game at both 1080p and max settings , it either the developer keep ignoring the law of diminishing returns (texture wise) that do nothing but make the game lagging , or they failed to optmized the textures . Remember that in almost every games 6gb of gpu can handle 1080p max settings without any issues only in forsebroken and the lag of us that problematic
@@zilverman7820 What are you playing on? I played with an RTX 3060 Ti with my FPS locked at 165 because of my monitors refresh rate. Seemed pretty damn smooth. Locking FPS makes games smoother in my opinion, so try doing that.
It's really sad seeing an 8 year old game have better graphics and mechanics than some modern games. Edit: Not everybody has the money to buy high end pc and some people are living in la la land thinking it is easy to get higher paying jobs. Modern games optimisation is really bad, Big decrease in fps and no changes in graphics, DL1 has more players than DL2. These devs want money they don't put in work as they used to before.
Dying Light came out the same year I got my first serious gaming computer and started caring about GPUs and what they can offer. It became a huge reason I started looking up GPU review channels because I became super curious about how different GPUs run a video game. This eventually led me to your channel and I have yet to miss a video. Your personality is addicting as hell.
Really appreciate you doing this. I'm sure loads of people wanted to see what this performs like since it's free for now. I'm personally not a fan of zombie games but this is still interesting
Hey Kryzzp. Great video! I loved Dying Light when I played through it, my 1050ti barely struggled at 1080p mostly high settings. It’s a shame that my card, which is a beast in many older titles, is now considered low end in modern titles. It goes to show how much optimisation goes into console titles as the GPUs in the Xbox One and PS4 are weaker than mine, but can run games that I struggle to.
It ran well on my 1050 ti. I had to put shadows and another setting (sorry I don't remember) at medium and everything was running pretty smooth ! Still a great card when you lower some graphical settings. Sometimes the difference between high and medium isn't that noticeable.
5:38 literally true.The textures are really good compared to current games with low to medium settings considering the game came 8yrs ago. Games are just evolving backwards.
I'm from Germany and this game is completely forbidden here. Even the second part is heavily censored here. This is my first time seeing gameplay from this part. I think it's great that you included this game in your benchmarks. Thank you, that was very interesting.
censorship is still a thing in Germany ??? weird .....just get yourself a good pirated version and you're good to go , fuck the government that think it's cool to send Tanks and weapons and ammunitions to a foreign country to kill other human beings in real life for geopolitical reasons , but it's uncool to virtually blow the head of a nazi zombi in a video game , hypocrite pieces of shit !
I'm not a Zombie game guy but I grabbed this for a few bucks last year and loved every moment of it. I played it on a 3080 via my triple 1440P 144hz monitor setup (Nvidia surround) and was able to play it on ultra smoothly. Incredible experience that I recommend to all. In fact, I'm trying to convince my friends to grab it on Epic so I can play it with them via co-op as I played exclusively single player the first time around.
You should get the CLM weapon mod for the game from Nexus mods. It's really easy to install. That mod made me play a lot more than I would have without it.
@@d_r1zzL For the incredible visuals that in my opinion surpass even today's games and at 1440p is incredible. I can run it over 165 fps on my 165hz monitor with an RTX 3060 Ti. It may be old but it's optimization is golden.
@Aleksi 2 4gb variants existed, They were rarer. Nvidia were known for doing this. Releasing the common 1.5 gb 2gb or 3gb variant from their 400 to 700 series and then releasing a much rarer 3gb 4gb or 6gb variant.
It's amazing how older games at high settings look and run overwhelming better than newer games at low settings. I know some of the reasons why this is the case, but it' still depressing.
can't wait to watch this amazing video. also, this is one of my favorite games can't wait to see all the videos on dying light 1 and how the GPUs perform on this game
Gorgeous graphics 🤩and being an older title just blew me away 😱🤯…. and as soon as I saw them ….. I though The Last of Us and went 🤦🤦♀🤦🤦♀. I grabbed mine yesterday morning from Epic and will start play this title (Dying Light) very soon 💪🥰🥳
I'd recommend going to the Old Town for benchmarking this game, it's a map that you unlock after a few missions. The Old Town map is much more demanding than the suburbs, the difference in performance on my PC was around 50 FPS (120 in the Suburbs, 70 in the Old Town here). You can find several save files that have that have this map unlocked if you're not playing through the game.
On suburbs to me perform very bad, i bought it like 6 months ago, R5 3600 and RX5700XT, 16GB RAM 3200MHz, but 60-90fps with drops to 40s, i played in 2015 with a R7 240 at 18fps and was so excited but gg.
Played this game with my friend on coop, it was such a fun experience. And guys please enjoy the night time the horrific environment during the night is really worth it and so fun.
that is so true oh so very true , btw the gtx 780 with the i7 4770k is an excellent period correct combo , i could see it being as good of a result as any would generate
i finished the game three times on a gt 710 on 25 to 35 fps on 640x480 hhhhh btw dont forget to try the following dlc coz its a lot demanding on cpu and gpu and its a lot better than the original game but know that its hard its almost impossible to play with a low level charchter anyways good job great video keep going
@@KattarAthiest It's a fun enough game, but I personally think it doesn't hold a candle to Dying Light 1, not even close, so I was disappointed in it as a sequel. My personal gripes for Dying Light 2 are: * A lot less attention to detail (some examples: I found a way underneath the game-map twice without glitches, I sequence broke a couple quests by accident just by using the glider in them and had to restart, I flew over to the Renegades' base and instead of winds that blow you away ~like in other areas of the game~ found an invisible box surrounding the base that I could 'land' on and just walk around in the sky as a result). * A lot more repetitive quest design and copy paste locations (those labs in particular weren't great). * A formulaic world design (complete with the Ubisoft patented Bandit Camps lol). * A more gamified experience (floating levels and healthbars on by default, chase levels and invisible aggro distance instead of the vision cone nightlife of the first game, basically they took the focus away from the horror elements of the first game and instead focused on copying generic AAA tropes). Those are just a handful of my annoyances with the sequel that immediately come to mind, again, the game was still enjoyable to me, I just think the first game was something special and the second game was something generic.
@Fusion Yeah I felt the same. I loved the first one. The 2nd is okay it just doesn't hit as hard as the 1st. I think a big part if it is the gore, the gore in 2 got a pretty big downgrade imo.
Yea , having a blast playing at 1440p at 80-100fps all high settings with my gtx 1660 and R52600x. Nice to know games still run solid on older hardware
I have a 4790k 32gb Ram Pc that has a 2060 in it and we have an Rx560 4gb that isn't in use anymore but I'm going to install it to see what the recommended minimum spec Gpu experience is like. My girl actually wants to play this game with me so it'll give me a chance to test these old parts again without getting bored quickly. Your videos are very entertaining because I keep all of our old components and sometimes seeing a video of yours shows a combo that I can put together myself. I can enjoy old things again like they were new! Plus it's also the way you play while testing. I'm fairly certain you could have a successful gameplay channel! I really your content.
I love you man, every day i must watch at least one of your videos, it feels so great, i feel a benchmark and gamer stream same time, thanks for contents ❤
thx for the info i dont look for free games in epic but this one i wouldnt want it to be missed plus luckly i didnt buy it few months ago when i wanted to play it :D
Old Games Good optimization would like to see Batman Arkham Knight on a couple of Gpus and see how the PC port of this game doing nowadays plus it's an awesome game!
Dying light and arkham knight are not greatly optimize on pc but playable. Yeah mid - high-end gpus definitely can run this games at max settings but still can experience stuttering or major fps drops.
I basically get an (almost) locked 200FPS at 1080P on my R5 5600 + RX 6700 build. The stock Wraith Stealth is barely keeping up (even after a strong undervolt) as my CPU is around 80°, but the experience is GLORIOUS. Totally worth it, especially if you can have play with some friends.
Play this at 4K with a proper GPU if u grab a friend and play the story thats a super bonus but also playing it completly alone ist beutiful. A Tip: Let the multipalyer option on but turn off nighthunter/invader. This game is SICK and the fighting especially when u get sharper weapons or a bet and lvl up a fiew lvl like mid game. Also take ur time leveling: take the time to actively level. choose places where there are zombie heaps and torch them with molocktoails or go on vans and hit them form the van untill they die.. run around in the night and climb around to get double agility points. Doing a few lvls without playing the story can increase the fun factor. But it's also enough if a friend drops high lvl weapons or some random player does it (this often happens if you leave the online function activated) have fun everyone please play the game duirch and especially the DLC is almost even better!
Just want to say thanks. Love your content, love your videos, and, even if i followed you by two to three months, I can't go a single day without watching at least one of your videos. I know it sounds a little bit exaggerated, but it is like this. hope you have a good day
I actually played and finished this game with my GT 730 2GB DDR3 back in 2015! It was on the lowest setting with a low resolution but it was still playable at around 30FPS. The Following DLC lagged like crazy because of the expansive area and the large crowd of zombies but it was still playable because the game was so fun!
Wow free, definitely grab it as I still think it is a great game and to be honest I think it is far better than DL2 which I lost interest in. DL1 just has such a great feel to it, far more scary and atmospheric imo
Glad this game got some attention again since its made free by Epic , just finished this game's storyline not long ago before it was even free, along with "The Following" DLC on a NVIDIA 940MX Laptop, ahhh good times🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️🤟🤟🤟
I'm amazed how good even other pc parts are i'm running a very money budget gaming pc with a i7 4790K and a 4 gb rx 580 and i can play any games generally speaking 60fps at good settings.
The reason why this game still looks outstanding and plays outstanding is because its from a time where developers relied on good art style, detail to environment and not relying on something like ray tracing to make it look great. I like Dying Light 2 but honestly that game fails in art style and on non RT PCs it disables many real time shadows on grass/wheat to make RT look better. They don't use combinations of cubemaps + SSR as well to make RT stand out more, unlike RDR2 where devs had a better sense on how to use traditional rendering options.
Oh no I remember when this game came out and I didn't have anything that could play it. Now I have a system that will murder this, but I'm reminded of how old I'm getting 😭
Bought the game last year on Steam to be precise the Definitive Edition and had a banger time playing it, was totally worth the price I've no regrets even getting this game again free on Epic.
@@_Cookie_Warrior_ non existent on my Zotac 4090 I was hesitant on buying the card but so far it hasn’t gave me any problems even with a overclock it’s been dead silent
Ive been playing this game quite a lot these days and its funny how it can be maxed on a 3GB card no issues but if you have the extra VRAM it will eat like 7-8GB :D
i think old games use tile base texture that why use less VRam and still looks good but new games use multiple texture for surface which need a tons of VRAM.
Basically all current games still rely heavily on things like texture tiling and object instancing, which ends up making the world feel copy pasted and fake. If you look closely at anything you'll see the textures repeat, or ugly seams where they don't line up. Then there's the (usually very aggressive) level of detail scaling which keeps both memory usage and rendering load in check. You've seen the pop in, oh my god, there is just so much pop in even on maxed settings. The PS5/PC versions of The Last of Us does away with all of this, but the tradeoff is simply that the graphics don't gracefully scale down when you lower settings.
Yes I have on my 3060ti but can go down to 120 in some areas if your fighting a lot of zombies just depends what part of the map. I have sunk over 10 hours into it since Friday
Just got this game for $8.99 on Steam and i'm noticing that everyone's GPU is running warm in benchmarks including mine lol. My GPU sits around 70-72C but the game runs super smooth like butter! If only recent games like Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Callisto Protocol weren't optimized like dog shit 😄
I played Dying light the following on an Intel hd 4400 and intel i3 4th gen 16 gb ram and I got 30 fps on medium-ish setting. Glad I played the cracked first and I bought it when it became free.
