Resident Evil Requiem showcases impressive optimization, allowing players to enjoy the game even on PCs with limited hardware capabilities.
For instance, a video on the RandomGaming YouTube channel demonstrated that the game runs at a commendable frame rate (around 30–40 FPS) at 1080p resolution, even on an older GeForce GTX 960 graphics card equipped with just 2GB of VRAM. This is significantly below the official minimum system requirements stated on Steam, which recommend a graphics card with 6GB of VRAM.
While on minimal graphics settings without upscaling, the GTX 960 might yield around 20–30 FPS, which might not be sufficiently comfortable, activating AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 technology substantially boosts performance to 25–50 FPS. In this configuration, Capcom’s new horror title becomes quite playable.
This level of technical polish marks a positive turn for Capcom, especially following the mixed optimization experiences at the launch of games like Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. There is hope that such high-quality optimization will become the standard for the publisher’s future projects.
