I have dying light and it doesn't run too well at 1080p for me
60 fps v sync on (obviously) but does drop down to about 40 or so in fighting or large areas, on ultra this is, everything max. lowered the AA and stuff, works fine
I edited the post, it says now
I presume gpu usage drops when this happens too? I think that's an issue with the game I'm afraid. Unfortunately Dying Light only tends to use one cpu core/thread, as you can imagine this does cause some problems.
Search for Dying Light manager. It will allow you to set realtime cpu affinity and some other little tricks which can help this issue.

It does yes
Ahh that sucks, not to worry, i don't really like it anyway, back to ED and BF4 for me!

Turn v-sync off, as its bugged from what i read, as when i had it on, i was getting 40s, but with it off, its anywhere from 60-100+.
Soldato
Oh really? I'll have to give this a try.
EDIT: No difference, maybe a couple of frames.

Yeah some spots where i was getting the 40s with v-sync on, with it off, i was getting 60+, but i should have been getting that anway, as im on 144Hz.

Handy tip, thanks I'll have to try that when i next load it up.
Have you disabled all the GameWorks effects, HBAO+ and Depth Of Field?
This is obviously recommended for AMD users as we're unable to optimise these effects due to the black box libraries of GameWorks.

Ive got everything on/maxed, apart from the view distance, which ive got 10 up from the left, and im 60+ nigh on constant.

This is most likely my problem, i just wacked everything up/on! Let me have another go!
Also is there a setting in the drivers for turning off lights on the gpu? I know Nvidia do

Wow.. that's made a massive difference and the game looks sooo much better!! Although, still sitting around 50 FPS but does jump up to about 130 FPS when looking at scenery
To quote an Italian/American mobster, perfect.
EDIT
Overclocking your cpu as much as possible will help, due the issue i mentioned previously. As will use Dying Light Manager and setting cpu affinity to REALTIME.

Yeah i want to go further but i can't go above 4.6 without my temps going too high
My excuse for wanting to go under water.

I understand, 4.6 is plenty really but when a game is only optimised to use one cpu core/thread your hands are tied somewhat.

Does dying light have a crossfire profile or are you using afr?
I used the Hitman Absolution profile, but 1x1 Optimize seemed to work fine as well. YMMV.
Got around to trying Dying Light on 14.12.
Found either Hitman Absolution or 1x1 Optimize custom Crossfire profiles seem to work flawlessly with all settings maxed out and vsync on.
Tested at 1440P on a single 295x2.

What is that you're using to see your FPS and that in the corner? i've seen it everywhere.

Took some shots a while ago.
63.4fps
62.1fps
68.2fps
78.4fps (as its hammering down, runs even better)
65.4fps
Its like that all the time with v-sync off, but with it on, id be getting drops into the 40s/50s.
These are my settings, i forgot ive also got the film grain off now, but i didn't turn that off till the latest patch added the option, screenshots above were pre-patch, so film grain was still on.
