Resident Evil Requiem PC performance analysis: Great visuals and decent frame rates all round, though path tracing's an obvious frame rate killer

Resident Evil Requiem PC performance analysis: Great visuals and decent frame rates all round, though path tracing's an obvious frame rate killer Upscaling is a bit of a must-use, but that's a given these days. Test PC specs - Asus ROG Ally, 15 W + 6 GB VRAM modes - Ryzen 7 7735HS (54 W), 16 GB DDR5-4800, GeForce RTX 4050 - Core i7 9700K (65 W), 16 GB DDR4-3200, Radeon RX 5700 XT - Ryzen 7 5700X3D (105 W), 32 GB DDR4-3200, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - Core Ultra 9 285K (125 W), 48 GB DDR5-8400, Radeon RX 7900 XT - Ryzen 9 9950X3D (170 W), 32 GB DDR5-6000, GeForce RTX 5090 - Monitors: Acer Nitro XV282K KV / MSI MPG 321URX - Operating System: Windows 11 25H2 - Drivers: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 / GeForce Game Ready 591.86 To examine what kind of performance you can expect to get on your gaming PC with Resident Evil Requiem, I used as broad a range of systems as I could. Handheld gaming PC 720p Lowest preset | No ray tracing (RT) | FSR Balanced upscaling Our first port of call is a handheld gaming PC, specifically the Asus ROG Ally, with its power set to 15 W but with the GPU VRAM forced to 6 GB, instead of the default 4 GB. Minimum spec gaming PC 1080p Normal preset | No RT | FSR Balanced upscaling Okay, so a combination of an Intel Core i7 9700K and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT isn't quite as min-spec as Capcom's minimum system requirements, but the CPU and GPU are almost eight and seven years old, respectively.
