Before hopping into Techland's new zombie game, you'll need to compare your gaming PC with the Dying Light 2 system requirements. Fortunately, the barrier to entry is quite low and shouldn't tax most modern systems, but hardware requirements quickly become much steeper if you plan to turn on the game's ray tracing features.
Here are the Dying Light 2 system requirements:
Minimum (1080p/30fps) Recommended (1080p/60fps) OS Windows 7 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit Preset Low High CPU Intel Core i3-9100AMD Ryzen 3 2300X Intel Core i5-8600K
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X RAM 8GB 16GB GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti
AMD Radeon RX 560 Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 VRAM 4GB 6-8GB Storage 60GB HDD 60GB SSD
Yes, that's features, plural. Ray traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows can all be turned on to push Dying Light's visual fidelity even higher, providing you have a compatible GPU. However, turning any of these settings on will incur a performance cost. To combat this, Techland recommends you equip your system with one of the best graphics cards on the market: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080.
Thankfully, Nvidia DLSS upscaling technology should help to boost fps if your rig's struggling to maintain your target frame rate. Unfortunately, there's no word of AMD FSR support, so those on team red with Radeon GPUs aren't quite as fortunate.
If you plan on sampling the game's ray tracing features, you'll want to turn your attention to the Dying Light 2 ray tracing system requirements:
