How to get the best frame rate in Resident Evil
The publisher's minimum for Resident Evil is NVIDIA GeForce GTX260, ATI Radeon HD 6790, or better with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, AMD Athlon X2 2.8 GHz, or better, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560, ATI Radeon HD 6950, or betterMonitor Resolution: 1280×720 or higher / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER,AMD Radeon RX 6800. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GT 1030 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a Radeon R9 270 does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon RX 470 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Open world and story games are limited by the graphics card in busy areas and by video memory in new locations. If you see stutter when you enter a new area, lower the texture setting a step. Turn on upscaling if the game offers it.

Memory and processor
Memory
Minimum 2 GB, recommended 4 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.
Processor
A processor like the Ryzen 7 2700X meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
