How To Activate Ray Tracing For Amazing Visuals In Dying Light 2

Dying Light 2 Stay Human surely rises to the expectation of highly critical fans, as the title proved to be the sequel everyone was waiting for.

People that bought the game appreciate everything from the story to the visuals. And Dying Light 2 was made specifically to delight the eye and provide an unbelievable experience.

Ever since Techland announced the title, true gamers have been asking the same thing over and over again: Will ray tracing be available?

The answer is yes, the graphics feature has been available for quite some time now, for both the console and the PC version of Dying Light 2.

However, if you are thinking about using such high graphics settings, you better make sure you have a good GPU, as well as a solid processor.

Using ray tracing depends on your device meeting some requirements, so don’t expect it to be available on outdated hardware.

Dying Light 2 really looks amazing on a visual level, and it allows for a ton of helpful graphical options for PC players, with a variety of settings that will allow them to customize their experience.

The game features both Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), in case you were wondering.

We also have to mention that DLSS and FSR serve the same purpose, but for different products. With an Nvidia graphics card, you use DLSS, while with an AMD GPU you use FSR

How do I enable ray tracing for Dying Light 2 on PC?

It’s not a difficult process but, as we said, it all depends if you meet the requirements for ray tracing to even work on your device.

Before we begin, keep in mind that you need to turn on the DirectX 12 Ultimate. Thus, if you don’t have it, you will need to look into it.

1. 1. Press the Windows key, search for Device Manager and click on Open.
   2. Expand Display Adapters, right-click on your GPU and select Update driver.
