GAMERSPECS ESTIMATE

On a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, Resident Evil reaches the game's 120 FPS cap at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches the game's 120 FPS cap, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX reaches the game's 120 FPS cap.

The publisher states no target settings for Resident Evil, so figures assume High, the usual target of a recommended spec.

What limits performance in Resident Evil

The game itself: Resident Evil is capped at 120 FPS, and any recent graphics card reaches it.

Frame-rate limit source: PCGamingWiki

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics runs smoothly at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

Resident Evil recommends a Ryzen 7 2700X or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Resident Evil, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

Not stated

The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.

Settings to lower first in Resident Evil

  1. 1Nothing, once you reach the 120 FPS cap: Resident Evil won't go faster, so spend spare performance on higher settings or resolution instead.
