The Ultimate DBD Optimization Guide (2024)

How to make your Dead by Daylight look incredible at a high FPS for both Epic Games and Steam (2024)

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any possible bans that this may cause. To my knowledge, Reshade is whitelisted by BHVR which means you are safe to use it. No one, including me, has ever been banned for using game filters and changing the graphics settings in the game files. However, there is ALWAYS a chance that EAC changes their methodology for something in the future that may end up detecting this. In the event that this happens, you are the one responsible. It is VERY unlikely that you will get banned for doing this, but Easy Anti-Cheat always has the possibility of detecting something like this, though they never have.

These are likely due to DBD being updating to UE5. Reflection quality just affects reflections, so if you don't care about that, you could turn it to 0. Reflections eat up a TON of resources, so putting it on 0 will help fps. Global Illumination is basically how light bounces and interacts with its environment (i.e. light bouncing off a blue wall will turn the light slightly blue around that wall). This also uses quite a bit of resources, but with UE5 it probably doesn't use as much anymore. It will probably make your game look a lot better if you keep it at 3 or 4, but you'll gain fps if you put it to 0.

➤ Why does my skillcheck look blurry with Kyto's Reshade?

I've gotten this question a few times before, but I've never seen this issue on my end, so I'm not 100% sure what the fix is. I would recommend turning off each individual Reshade setting one-by-one to see which effect might be causing the issue and then adjusting the settings within that effect.

Just to note: BHVR will not ban for anything mentioned in this video. However, the only thing that could potentially get you banned is custom icons because EAC might pick it up and initiate a ban. Reshade is whitelisted in EAC so that will never be a problem

[Taytanchik]

Loved how the video preview was only a screen saying "close DBD" - that's another way to optimize your DBD experience 😁

[comicalman]

Ok so really funny story custom icons have a true 0% ban rate because when bhvr tried banning them people got mad at them for not banning actual cheaters so they backed down from banning custom icons real quick.

Thank you Kyto, I’ve tried messing with this so much back on my old potato computer, and then my PS4, you’re the best man!

It seems nvidia filter no longer recognized the game prior to the recent ver 8.2.0. Now its very hard to see from dim brightness and its not good at all.

*DO NOT ENABLE RESIZABLE BAR ON GLOBAL PROFILE AS SHOWN IN VIDEO*

It will decrease performance in many older games and some newer ones.

The Resizable bar section is just completely false. If it says YES in the System information, it means your GPU, CPU and Motherboard is compatible and is enabled in the bios. The driver will use this feature in SELECTED games (by nvidia) to get up to 10% better fps. However, nvidia doesnt really update the driver list of games that uses resizable bar, and thats where Nvidia Profile Inspector can be used to force enable Resizable bar on any game (note in many older games you will actually loose fps with this feature).

If the System information says that Resizeable bar is not enabled, it means your GPU, CPU or Motherboard is not compatible or the feature is disabled in the motherboard bios. Using nvidia profile inspector in this case wont do anything.

So guys; If your system supports Resizable bar, use nvidia profile inspector to enable the feature for Dead by Daylight (ONLY DBD! Or else this can decrease performance in other games). Compare the performance with an without Resizable bar to see if it helps performance or decreases it.

Right as I’ve seen the notif, I clicked. Appreciate you bro

[Benjikingst]

The Nvidia's Filter has been removed this uptade of castlevania so its bad

[renarenacat]

Some graphics settings like ambient-oclusion settings doesn't do anything for DBD and changing it on global setting can fuck some games (especially old ones) so I wouldn't recommend to change.
Low latency mode is kinda broken and can add more latency depending on your setup of vsync, gsync and other things that mess with frames.
You don't need insanely low latency for DBD anyways so off is fine imo.

17:27 the point remains the most instructive and most importantly thank dude 👍

[pedrokot]

thank you so much! i went from playing with 65% resolution with spikes to 100% with stable FPS and antialising!! :D

[Nmb_Infinite]

How do ytbers make the red blood and scratch marks pink?

[officialcafemojo]

This video is honestly unreal. I have a relatively expensive computer with a 3070 but have only been able to really run the game in low settings. This is life changing. SO simple, directly to the point, easy to understand and clear. I'm not a boomer but I DO NOT have the kind of knowledge to have just done all this without this video. THANKS KYOTO!

[i_Newell]

There was literally not a single thing in here a console player playing on a T.V can make use of lol.

[ZenTunE-]

6:28 This is just the graphics preset in the ingame settings. Low is 0, Ultra is 3. I doubt it does anything if you have set the scalability values manually and have it read only.
20:21 Nice that you said this, I often see people recommending "Prefer Maximum Performance" globally and it makes me cringe. That would just up your gpu clocks and therefore power draw in desktop applications for no benefit.

[appleleptiker]

1:21 It is impossible to get banned for that.

[knakiri]

This game sucks they removed the filter support...
