Capcom Announces Resident Evil Village PC Requirements
Capcom, the Japanese video game maker, has today announced specification requirements for its upcoming Resident Evil Village PC game, needed to play the game at certain resolutions/graphics presets. Starting with the minimum settings, Capcom is thinking of 1080p 60 FPS gaming. To achieve that you need at least an Intel Core i5-7500 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 processor paired with 8 GB of RAM. The minimum specification also requires a DirectX 12 capable GPU, with 4 GB of VRAM, just like NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 560. The company notes that using this configuration, framerate may drop below 60 FPS during heavy loads. If you want to use raytracing, which is now also present in the game engine, you must switch to at least NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.
The recommended specification of course requires much beefier hardware compared to the minimum specification. If you want to have a steady 1080p 60 FPS experience without frame drops, Capcom recommends an Intel Core i7 8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, paired with 16 GB of RAM, and a GPU like an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700. However, if you want the raytracing feature you need a better GPU. To achieve a 4K resolution with 60 FPS and raytracing turned on, the GPU needs a bump to at least an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card. You can check out the game requirements in greater detail below.

I presume that the 6800xt is left out as the difference between 6800xt and 6900xt are not very much so they probably left it out. But then again, who knows till game comes out.
The next issue I am struggling to get around is: Do I want to play this game?
I mean, Resident Evil has gone all "Brothers Grimm" and now we have werewolves, Vampires and magic when before hand, it was a virus from an evil corporation. I feel they jumped the shark.
RX6000 always take bigger performance hit than RTX3000 when using DXR, the magnitude is depending on how much Ray Tracing effects are in use.
We will see when the game is out then.
A sheer 24% difference in 4K on average.
DMC 5 uses RE engine, just like REVIII.
Everyone has an opinion. To assume that I am the one complaining about stagnation, you are wrong. I like the whole t-virus story concept. Tell it through the eyes of others. Heck, I was hoping for a repeat of Resident Evil Outbreak.
I purchased RE2 Remake and loved it a lot. It was very good. And I had a lot less love for RE7. So that should kind of give you an idea.
I don't understand people at times. They think that everyone is a hive mind on such opinions.
Anyway, I hope it is good. I will just wait my judgement till it comes out.
Your point about change and people not liking it, has really nothing to do with what I said nor should have been made in regards to my comment. Doesn't matter if you are not directing it at me. It is something one doesn't do when they write as a reply to others. It is viewed as making an assumption, and its an acronym for making an ass of you and me.
