Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We tested the press review version of Resident Evil 3. We also installed the latest drivers from AMD and NVIDIA, both of which have game-ready support for the game.

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has 11 GB of VRAM, we measured the game's memory usage at the highest setting.

At lower resolution, Resident Evil 3 will consume around 5-6 GB VRAM, which can be challenging for cards with 3 GB or 4 GB.

For higher-end cards, 8 GB VRAM usage is spot on, making best use of the resources as that's the most commonly available memory capacity.

GPU Performance (DirectX 12)

DirectX 11 vs DirectX 12 Performance

Across the board, DirectX 12 performance is worse than DirectX 11.

FPS Analysis

In this section, we're comparing each card's performance to the average FPS measured in our graphics card reviews, which is based on a mix of 22 games and should provide a realistic average covering a wide range of APIs, engines, and genres.
