Dying Light has just been released and below you can view some comparison screenshots between the game’s Low and High settings. The interesting thing here is that Dying Light let us only choose between Medium and High textures. Apart from that limitation, we were able to properly adjust all other graphics settings.
Low settings are on the left, High settings are on the middle, and SweetFX settings are on the right.
Do note that our SweetFX config should be avoided in case you’re gaming on TVs with their Sharpening filters enabled by default. Moreover, our SweetFX images are with the game’s Medium Textures, proving that SweetFX can make a huge difference (the only downside is that its sharpening filter brings slight aliasing).
You can download our SweetFX from here. Do note that we’ve been using RadenPro in order to use SweetFX in Windows 8.1 (since Dying Light is a 64-bit application, we’re using Boulotaur2024’s special SweetFX version).
Enjoy and stay tuned for our Performance Analysis that will go live tomorrow.

“Enjoy and stay tuned for our Performance Analysis that will go live tomorrow.”
I’ll spoil it for everyone: The performance is dreadful.
Thanks for ruining it for everyone
Yeah, I got my hopes up a little bit when TotalBiscuit said the performance was good, but then he and others found that the framerate tanked after leaving the tutorial area. This year seems to be just as crap as last year in terms of port quality. What’s the point of having an i7 4790k and a 980 if these are the ports I have to deal with.
I have the same rig as you and I have 32 gig of ram and it plays like a dream for me on max settings with no frame rate drop and im about 10 hours played so far
i got a GTX 760 (4GB) 16GIG ran and the same as you with the other stuff and mine runs fine as well
Just like Dead Rising 3 the framerate tanked when you get to night missions
Here’s me ruining it for you. Anything that has nVidia GameWorks will work like crap. They need you to think that so you buy the latest crap their shoveling.
This is nothing new, apologists are already marking every critical review as “not helpful.” These are people who pre-ordered and are desperate to make their brains hurt less from the buyer’s remorse and cognitive dissonance.
On what exactly or is it another open world game that people think is going to run like a closed linear corridor shooter at 100fps?
What a surprise *coughcoughnvidiagameworkscoughcough*.
Has nothing to do with nvidia game works
Maybe, or maybe not. Doesn’t matter. It’s the fact that it’s another unoptimized Gameworks title. A great experience they say.
Exactly so. Excuses matter little when every title in it is working at these levels.
Word is 15-20fps drops and average of 30fps on GTX980 with Witcher 3. Polish websites who played the game.
Andrei
I think or Someone is saying draw distance, and a lot is literally the
same across PS4/X1/PC, only PC has ultra gameworks features like
hair,fur,etc. Not possible to make 3 different games.
Another
bird in the air claiming G-Sync module is like DRM and made hacked
drivers to run on 347.25 free sync on DP1.2 monitors. Nvidia memory
issue on GTX970s.
These are troubling times.
Here’s the source for those of you who wonder: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=980198
Now they just need to screw Witcher 3. i7-4790 + GTX 980 on high (aka consoles) settings with fps drops below 30? Seriously?
I’m just saying what I see on those polish websites which had a chance to play the game. But then again, I have no clue why a GTX980 wouldn’t be able to play the game with PS4 quality at 1080p 60fps, unless some gameworks features are hardcoded to be always active.
A good example of a bad port doing well is Assassin Unity.
Ultra Quality(Not textures, because only 3gb vwam) – Nvidia GameWorks – AA + Driver/Injected AA = Near 60fps on a GTX780OC (the recommended).
The PS4 is 1080p, 30fps with drops to very low framerates, more like 25fps,meanwhile its doing well on a PC GTX780.
So yeah, my guess is, they had gameworks enabled. Hopefully this game has proper modding. I do NOT want to live with Console Draw Distance. Models and textures should be fine because of 8gb of dedotaded wam on the consoles.
It looks downgraded to me.
I just ate a pizza and it was awful, the cheese tasted like plastic, never buying premade pizzas ever again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxmo_sGZQtE&feature=youtu.be
Thats the SH*TTY consoles have destroyed pc gaming totaly!
Yes this is total downgrade. To hell with every POS developer!
I had enough, im done with gaming, atleast for several years. Will be back when games actually starts looking better then the same ole crap we have seen for the last 7 years or more ..huh..F*CK IT!!
Yet i play Diablo 1 and 2 every day.. Stop being a gfx whore lol. If you are even serious. 😛 But i agree, consoles ruin everything sadly.
perf whore….sir!
Heh well a little but I surely are pissed about the whole situtaion. Think about how much better the games could have looked.
But well I will enjoy my WiiU atleast so I cant frikking wait for the new Zelda to come out, thats pure bliss and make you forget about pixels/polygons/textures and so on.
But yeah it’s really sad to see how most devs bends over and take it in the a**, all beqouse those fa**ots at Sony/MS speaks with dollars.
If those DIPSHITS atleast could have put out proper nextgen consoles as they should and allways have done then we clearly would have seen much better looking games. But nooo, those DIPSHITS just wanted easy cash and put out pathetic weak POS crap tablet powered boxes and called em nextgen huh!
If only nVidia and say Valve started doing real pc only games and says F*UCK all console POS!
nVidia would really benefit to make games as they could go all out and put every games to shame, as they are keen to point out on their site when a pc version comes out how much better it looks then the console counterpart.
All that is crap, it’s as allways just very small stuff as HBAO+ – better textures – etc!
If they make games then we could have proper console crushers and not the same SH*T we been looking at for nearly the last 10 F*CKN years!
I’ll thumb you up for sure. Everything you said is how we all feel (PC gamers) But sadly theres nothing anybody can do about it. Besides, gfx ain’t the most important thing, and this is coming from a person (me) that loves GFX almost as much as the story/gameplay. I just sit 20 mins looking at textures,comparing pictures and enjoying the effects most games offer. But yea, as you said, imagine if they used all the power of the PC, and optimazed the games like hell for it. We might be able to see some truly amazing things.
Sorry for being another TL;DR noob, but can you seriously offer a TL;DR?
yeah there is crazy framedrops, I get anywhere from 200-30 fps.
Game is great so far, but they need to do something about the inconsistent framerate.
I’m watching Jim Sterling’s stream of the game and of course he ran into all the performance problems. Just by looking at this game I get the feeling it also has a lot of mouse acceleration problems. Over the last year I’ve become a connoisseur of bad ports and my crap detector tells me this game has control issues. Hopefully that is not the case, I’d like to have a good amount of control when running quickly.
no problems with mouse accel and the controls are fine, just the random framedrops. Handles about as well as mirrors edge in movement.
No problems with mouse accel – does that mean there is no mouse accel? There’s a setting in the game, a slider in fact. The real question is does that slider actually go to zero? Of course it does, visually. But does it actually turn all kinds of accel off. I reckon literally the majority of games (due to console origins) have some form of acceleration, usually negative acceleration, in them that you cannot turn off by any means. They will offer you to turn off acceleration but it only turns off positive acceleration whereas negative acceleration is still on.
It’s not to bad on a I3 haswell and 770gtx

The game has nice lighting and textures though.

I hope you won’t disrespect me if I ask how its running on your 970?
Pretty bad to be honest, it’s up and down a lot, as low as 32FPS when looking across some places and then as high as 80FPS others. Assassins Creed Unity runs better than this crap. LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADssY5m-NB4 Did you buy or pirate? lol For some reasons the Good reviews are about 10 to 1 vs the bad. Not sure if I want to buy the game or not
That part is fine, it’s the part where you get near a tower that says “safe” and look in a certain direction. Seem like it’s hitting one core at 100% as well which isn’t helping.
The only relevant changes seem to be more foliage and crisp shadows. I’d set everything to low except shadows. If you want more foliage turn that up to, whatever the setting is called. Done. Everything else must be a waste of performance if it doesn’t show up in screenshots as diverse as these.
Motion blur is nonsense, games are not films.
can someone re-upload or just post the sweet fx file here. for some stupid reason the download has been taking down.
