Techland’s bold open-world zombie killing/parkour sequel Dying Light 2 arrives February 4 after a long and troubled growth cycle. Techland has simply launched the game’s system requirements, and so they’re surprisingly forgiving on the low finish, however Dying Gentle 2’s ray tracing suggestions are fairly steep.
The i3 9100/Ryzen 2300X and 1050 Ti/RX 560 pairing for 1080p, 30fps is inside attain of most PC avid gamers, in accordance with the newest Steam hardware survey. The really useful spec of i5 8600K/Ryzen 5 3600X with an RTX 2060/RX Vega 56 can also be fairly lenient, as is the minimal ray-tracing setup of the identical processors with an RTX 2070. That is all mid- to high-end {hardware} that is a number of years previous.
Then there’s an enormous leap from ray tracing minimal to excessive settings at 1080p, with Techland’s really useful GPU being the RTX 3080, an allegedly $700 card for 4k warriors that you just’d be lucky to find for anything south of $1,000 at this level. Presumably, these suggestions do not take DLSS under consideration, however it nonetheless seems like even the beefiest rigs on the market must make some compromises to get Dying Gentle 2 operating at excessive body charges and/or resolutions with ray tracing.
