Resident Evil Requiem Specs Check for Your PC

The requirements of Resident Evil Requiem for PC are going to be higher than those of the previous installments, Because in the end it has been confirmed what I have been telling you for a long time, that this game is going to be exclusive to the current generation of consoles and PC.

There will be no version of Resident Evil Requiem for PS4 and Xbox One, and therefore the minimum technical base at the hardware level of this game will be Xbox Series S, a console that has the following specifications:

AMD Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores capable of handling up to 16 threads. It runs at 3.6 GHz with 8 threads and 3.4 GHz with 16 threads and has 8 MB of L3 cache.
10 GB of unified GDDR6 memory, of which 8 GB is free for gaming. 224 GB/s bandwidth.
Radeon RDNA 2 GPU with 1,280 shaders and a power of 4 TFLOPs in FP32.
SSD with a sequential read speed of 2,400 MB/s.

With these specifications, we can make it clear that the technical basis of Resident Evil Requiem will be equivalent to a low-end PC and that we will not need a very powerful computer to be able to play it in acceptable conditions.

Resident Evil 9 Is Coming: What We Know So Far

However, those specs are clearly higher than those of Xbox One and PS4, so there will be a considerable jump in both minimum and recommended requirements compared to the last intergenerational installment of the franchise, which was Resident Evil 4 Remake.

All this information gives me the data I need to be able to share with you an estimate of the possible minimum and recommended requirements of Resident Evil Requiem. I am convinced that the official requirements will not be too far from those we are going to see in this article.

Resident Evil Requiem Minimum Requirements

Windows 10 as an operating system (64-bit).
CPU Intel Core i7-6700 or AMD Ryzen 5 2500X. Four cores and eight threads.
8 GB of dual-channel RAM.
GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT with 8 GB.
SSD storage unit with 75 GB free.

These requirements would be the lowest real minimum to be able to play it in 1080p with 30 FPS and low quality. I make this distinction because on many occasions the minimum requirements are inflated to an unrealistic level that brings them closer to a recommended level for 1080p and medium or even high quality.

Recommended requirements for 1080p

Windows 11 as the operating system.
Intel Core i5-12400F or Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. Six cores and twelve threads.
16 GB of dual-channel RAM.
GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card with 8GB VRAM.
SSD storage unit with 75 GB free.

With this PC, the game should run smoothly in 1080p at maximum quality and at a relatively stable 60 FPS. Everything will depend on optimization, and those 8 GB of VRAM may force us to reduce the reserve dedicated to textures, something typical in games based on Capcom’s RE Engine.

Recommended requirements for 1440p

Windows 11 as the operating system.
Intel Core i5-12400F or Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. Six cores and twelve threads.
16 GB of dual-channel RAM.
GeForce RTX 4070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card.
12 GB of VRAM recommended.
SSD storage unit with 75 GB free.

This setting should be enough for Resident Evil Requiem to run in 1440p with maximum quality at 60 FPS without any issues. That 12 GB of graphics memory should allow us to set the memory reserve for textures to the maximum, or almost to the maximum.

Recommended Requirements for 2160p

Windows 11 as the operating system.
Intel Core i7-13700K or Ryzen 7 9700X CPU. Eight cores and sixteen threads.
16 GB of dual-channel RAM.
GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.
16 GB of VRAM recommended.
SSD storage unit with 75 GB free.

We raised the bar with a setting that has become the recommended standard for playing demanding current-gen games in 4K. With these components, the game should run in 4K at maximum quality at a stable 60 FPS. The 16 GB of VRAM will be a guarantee that we will not run out of graphics memory.

What would the requirements be like if Resident Evil Requiem used ray tracing?

It’s a question we have to ask ourselves after the latest leak of images of the demo of this game, because in some of them I get the feeling that Capcom could incorporate ray-traced lighting to improve image quality.

It wouldn’t be the first time Capcom has used ray tracing in one of its games; it has already implemented it in titles such as Devil May Cry 5 in its version for current-gen consoles and also in Resident Evil 4 Remake (applied to reflections) and in other previous installments of the franchise, so it makes sense.

However, in this case the ray tracing could be more advanced and of higher quality, taking advantage of the jump to a higher version of the RE Engine, which is fully optimized and focused on the current generation of consoles and which abandons the support of the previous generation.

To be able to run Resident Evil Requiem with ray tracing without fluidity problems, the requirements will be higher, and the minimums could be configured like this:

Windows 11 as the operating system.
Intel Core i5-12400F or Ryzen 5 5600 CPU. Six cores and twelve threads.
16 GB of dual-channel RAM.
GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card with 8GB VRAM.
SSD storage unit with 75 GB free.
