Dead Island used Chrome Engine 5 and Dying Light will use the sixth version of this engine which should give you an idea of the look and scope of this game. As for performance, look no further than this article from [H]ard|OCP which details the performance of the game on NVIDIA cards ranging from the GTX 750 Ti to the GTX 980 as well as Radeons from R9-285 through the 290X. This engine proved to love VRAM, at 4K the GTX 980 and R9 290X stuttered at points and the three 2GB cards showed the same problems at 1080p. It would seem that even though the 970 never used more than 3.6GB of VRAM the card performed better than either of AMD’s top offerings. Pity about the lack of multiple GPU support.
"Dying Light is out on the PC and we are liking it. Today we evaluate performance on many video cards to find out what kind of gameplay experience to expect. We will also compare graphical settings and find out which ones are the most demanding and what level of video card you need for this game."

Seems to me like GPUs are
Seems to me like GPUs are just too short on memory and weak in power. So much emphasis on power efficiency in the last couple years has made GPUs impotent in the face of ever-increasing graphical demands of modern games. Yet somehow the sheeple continue to hand them money hand over fist…
This game runs really well?
This game runs really well? good CPU/GPU utilization. Not sure what you’re experiencing.

I have 5960x 4.5Ghz and 2 980s and can confirm CPU/GPU is not good at all the game engine is outdated crap

and granted i can play 60fps fine but i have 120hz and subpar CPU/GPU utilization is holding me back from getting consistent higher frame rate.
outdated crap? The game looks
outdated crap? The game looks pretty dang awesome. There are some optimization issues which cause it to be less than efficient at some tasks but I have 1 R9 290 and it plays well with some tweaks to draw distance etc.
Lol what it looks like
Lol what it looks like doesn’t mean squat, and it doesn’t even look that good.
They took old chome and engine that already had shitty multithreading support then implemented DX11 and did nothing to improve multithreading.
Swear peoples standards these days are so low its ridicules and reason why we get all these unoptimized games.
And lol you have to tweak and lower draw distance to be playable give me a break. Nothing fixed the multithreading problem all you are doing is lowering quality to get more frames.
Well damn, if you were as
Well damn, if you were as smart as your pretentious response indicated, you would have known it ran on the Chromi engine, waited for a review, and not have purchased the game.
When you lower the draw distance it made NO difference to game quality. The draw distance was unoptimized and was calculating for things you wouldn’t even be able to see. The game runs great on an R9 290 which came out almost 2 years ago. I fail to see an issue?
Oh and I am sorry but if I was a developer right now I would focus on getting a game that works on a(singular) mainstream GPU at ~max settings at 1440p with 60fps being a soft requirement. In my opinion(blanket statement) 4k gaming right now is just silly and not worth the money in GPUs and monitors to get there.
The jump to 4k is far away from linear and that is unfortunately how the tech in our GPU’s is increasing.

In all cases above you will note all video cards are hitting maximum capacities possible. The GeForce GTX 970 maxed out at 3.6GB, we could not get it to run above this, even at 4K. However, as we indicated, Dying Light was playable at 1440p without stutter. Specific optimizations have gone into this game for the GeForce GTX 970 as of the 1.3.0 patch.

I kind of disagree with the way Hardcop changes settings when comparing video cards…We all know how to turn down settings, but I want to see how each of the video cards compare against themselves.
I also do not know for the life of me why they chose 4k with AA on….
