Dead Island 2 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide
4K Performance
Dead Island 2 becomes a very demanding title when it is cranked up to 4K, but the power of modern graphics cards can allow PC gamers to push past this with raw GPU power. Below we can see that Nvidia’s RTX 4090 remains CPU-limited at 4K, offering near identical performance levels at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Nvidia’s RTX 4090 is a beast, even at 4K.
For lower-end graphics cards, Dead Island 2 is demanding, but it can be tamed. FSR2 can be used to achieve huge performance gains at 4K in Dead Island 2, and this game’s Medium settings can also be used to deliver huge framerate boosts. These tweaks can make 4K 60 FPS framerates achievable on GPUs like AMD’s RX 6700 XT, a GPU that can dip below 30 FPS at 4K Ultra. Dead Island 2 is a very scalable game on PC, which is great news for PC gamers with weaker systems, or those who want to play this game at 4K without top of the line PCs.
