Dying Light 2 Benchmarks on Laptops and Desktops

Dying Light 2 is a game that is technologically and graphically demanding. So in this blog, we will be showing you how the Dying light 2 benchmarks are on both Laptops and Desktops if you are looking to buy this game.

Dying Light 2 is finally out and we are very excited to play from the launch date itself. Dying Light 2 is an open-world game set in a post-apocalyptic city crawling with zombies. The city is also filled with all kinds of different items that you can search and collect.

Those items can be traded as well with a vendor or a shopkeeper located at various points in the city. You can also craft oils and weapons with blueprints that you purchase from the shop itself ingame. Since items are very costly in the game, so make sure you farm for in-game money whenever possible.

There are a lot of side quests apart from, the main storyline on which the rewards are promising. The game is filled with different kinds of melee weapons but there are some ranged weapons like the bow as well.

The parkour mechanics in this game is very responsive to the environment and the main theme of the game revolves around that. The game has a day and a night cycle. The night is extremely dangerous for the player to roam around on the map, as the zombies are much more powerful and active during the nighttime.

There are howlers as well in the game which only come out at night and attack by calling other zombies when they sense Aiden, the protagonist. Overall a very fun game but equally demanding as graphically.

The game looks nice but there was a yellow orangish tint to the game which we dint like from the first part as well. Otherwise, the game runs smoothly in all the testings. So without further delay let’s quickly dive into the dying light 2 benchmarks when we test them on different desktops and laptops.

What is the setting of Dying Light?

Techland came up with a Call of Juarez-like setting for the game. They managed to get a similar look for the Dying Light 2 game. Although the game is extremely beautiful. We have seen some post-apocalyptic worlds before in games but this one is spectacularly different.

The positives include a very nice render distance with dense vegetation all over. The game provides a very nice ambiance when you are outside roaming in the streets of and the outskirts of the Villedor and even you are indoors.

The game has its very own chic lighting features which help give the environment a natural tone that blends in well with the game theme. The landscape simulation which includes the swaying of trees and grasses in the wind looks natural.

There is not much to complain about the texture sharpness apart from some of the shadow qualities and animations. Apart from that, there is not much of a complaint when it comes it the Gameplay experience.

The Graphics Menu comes with more than 20 different settings that you can toggle and features two modes, a simple and an advanced mode. Those who don’t want to go into the hassle of tuning the game for the best performance can use the different presets available in the game. The game can run on both Direct X 11 and Direct X 12.

As we already get to see the Nvidia RTX logo during the startup of the game, Techland provided options for Ray Tracing as well. The special effects settings like Ambient Occlusion, Sun Shadows, Global Illumination, and Reflections can be toggled as well. Use the DLSS on or the FSR if you have Nvidia RTX Graphics cards or the latest AMD cards to save much of your performance.

It is to note that you will have to restart the game whenever you change the ray tracing settings in the game. Apart from that, you can change all the other settings without restarting. Our testing ran smoothly and we didn’t face any technical glitches or crashes. The loading times and the download size of 43GB are well into our comfort zone.
