Dead Island 2 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

Getting 60+ FPS in Dead Rising 2 with a Radeon RX 480

Dead Island 2 is an highly scalable game on PC, and that should be music to the ears of anyone who hasn’t upgraded their graphics card in a while. Below, we have showcased our optimisation process for playing Dead Island 2 with a Radeon RX 480 graphics card, which we can use to achieve average framerates of above 60 FPS. 

Moving down to medium settings from Ultra will see our the average framerate of our test sequence move from 48.1 FPS to 65.6 FPS, and enabling FSR to quality mode will increase this further to 74.6 FPS, with 5th percentile framerates rising to 60.2 FPS. If you have a VRR compatible monitor, this should provide you with a very smooth gameplay experience on PC, which is a great result seeing as the RX 480 is a graphics card from 2016.
