If your system doesn’t quite meet the recommended requirements or you’re experiencing performance issues, don’t worry because there are several ways to optimize your setup for a smoother zombie-slaying experience:
1. Yes, we all are aware that lowering the resolution is one of the techniques to optimize your system. But, don’t just lower it down altogether. Use the resolution scale to reduce. Setting it to 85-90% can significantly boost performance with minimal visual impact.
2. If you have a compatible GPU, enable DLSS (NVIDIA) or FSR (AMD).
3. Reducing shadow quality from High to Medium can result in better FPS gains with relatively little visual compromise.
4. Install the game on an SSD to reduce loading times and texture streaming issues
5. Enable Windows Game Mode to allocate more system resources to the game while playing.
6. If you have 16GB of RAM, consider setting up a small RAM disk for the game’s temporary files to improve asset loading times.
7. Reducing view distance can help maintain frame rates during intense parkour sequences.
If you’re in the market for a new gaming laptop or after knowing the above requirements, you are looking out for an upgrade to experience Dying Light 2: Reloaded, HP offers several models that can handle the challenge.
– For high-end gaming you can go for HP Omen 16. It is capable of running the game at high settings with ray tracing enabled. Its efficient cooling system ensures consistent performance during extended gaming sessions, crucial for those night-to-dawn zombie hunts.
– If you are someone who is on the lookout for budget-friendly gaming laptops then HP Victus Series is the one you can rely on. Configurations with RTX 4060 graphics can comfortably run the game at 1080p with high settings, though you might need to disable ray tracing features for optimal performance.
– If portability is the major factor that you are looking out for then, HP Omen Transcend 14 will be there for your help! While the smaller screen might not showcase The City in all its glory, it’s perfect for gaming on the go.
