[1440p Benchmark] Dying Light 2 | RTX 5070 Ti / 5800x3D | DLSS, FSR, XeSS, Ray Tracing, FG (no TAA)
2With the launch of Dying Light: The Beast on 19th of september I thought I would get back and Benchmark Dying Light 2 again. This game supports DX 11 and DX 12, Ray Tracing, DLSS 4, FSR 2.0, FSR 1.0, XeSS 2.0.2. and x2 frame generation. Game runs on a modified C-Engine, in-house game engine.
The game suffers from permanent TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) that causes smearing and ghosting at every graphical setting, to solve this you need to edit a file, here is a guide, scroll down to Anti-Aliasing (AA) and follow the instructions * https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dying_Light_2_Stay_Human#Game_data *
( Warning!!! if you modifiy any graphical settings TAA will be enabled again)
Tested at 4K with Nvidia's Smooth Motion Driver-Level Frame-Generation enabled * *
Used DLSS swapper to update to the latest version of DLSS 4 and XeSS 2.0.2 * https://dlssswapper.com/ *
DLSS 4 Version 310.4
XeSS 2.0.2 Version 2.0.2.53
