Dying Light: The Beast

Dying Light: The Beast was released on September 18th, 2025, and uses the C-Engine gaming engine. This game has improved character models, higher resolution textures, and better lighting with a more vibrant environment, and better indirect shadows and bounce lighting with screen space reflections. This game supports DLSS 4, Multi Frame Generation, NVIDIA Reflex, and FSR 4. We are utilizing a manual run-through in the Golden Pine area.

Dying Light The Beast 1080p Performance Graph

In Dying Light: The Beast, we are running at 1080p with the “High” quality preset enabled, which is the game’s highest quality setting sans Ray Tracing. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB struggles in this game, compared to the competition. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB barely allows a playable experience near the 60FPS average mark at native resolution 1080p on High Quality. Enabling FSR 4 Upscaling helps a whole lot to smooth the game out at 88FPS average. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB is 16% slower than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB video card. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 5%.

Ray Tracing w/ FSR Upscaling

Dying Light The Beast Ray Tracing 1080p Performance Graph

With the latest released patch in Dying Light: The Beast, we can now enable Ray Tracing in the game with the “Ultra” quality setting. Therefore, we have Ray Tracing enabled with FSR 4 Upscaling also enabled at 1080p. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB struggles with Ray Tracing in this game, and cannot achieve 60FPS average, so gameplay is not that great with Ray Tracing. It is better to run without it on the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB at 1080p. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB is 14% slower than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which has a more acceptable framerate for it. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 3%.
