Thank you all. I def should have searched a bit deeper. Just in the middle of an internal brain conflict of whether I should be building a new PC now or if the consoles can still hold up for me. And that release date is creeping up!
Just uplodaded the demo gameplay using the 21:9 aspect ratio with 30 FPS cap and HUD disabled for dat cinematographic experience:
A shame that the cutscenes are 16:9.

Thank you!Has anyone figured out a way to stop the timer using Cheat Engine yet?
Windows Defender blocks the trainer, and it looks like it's going to request Admin permissions too, so there's no way I will run it on my system. Manually resetting the demo (deleting the saves and resetting the achievements) is getting tiring.
Okay, I think I know why people are complaining that the game looks "washed out" after seeing these screenshots - you left the display settings on the defaults!
You must calibrate the display settings for this game!
I will add that having examined the calibration settings more in-depth, I actually think that Rec. 709 profile is useful in this game. If I recall correctly, RE7 did not have the max/min brightness settings, which are critical for this.
Default settings:
Calibrated sRGB settings:
Calibrated Rec.709 settings:
Note: you absolutely must leave the "film noise" setting enabled to prevent posterization/banding in the shadows.
I brightened up the shadows in the Rec. 709 screenshot with the setting on/off for comparison:
You also have to set the minimum brightness one step lower than it requests, so that the pattern disappears or else the brightness calibration will not work correctly.
The settings used for sRGB are:
The settings used for Rec. 709 are:
- Maximum Brightness: 1 below the maximum
- Minimum Brightness: The lowest setting
- Brightness: -6 from center (5th marking from the left)
- Maximum Brightness: 1 below the maximum
- Minimum Brightness: The lowest setting
- Brightness: 1 left of center (10th marking from the left)
How do you disable vignette effect?
This is max settings w/o TAA or FXAA but SMAA and NVIDIA's 8x anti aliasing and MFAA settings on. I need to get rid of the sharpening filter before I can see how this game is really supposed to look on pc ;)
I found these in the Hex editor. I just have no clue how to Hex edit.

Haven't played the demo but I expected/hoped for this level of performance, since it uses the RE7 engine which ran on my OC'D GTX 970 fantastically. Of course I imagine the texture quality will be weak in areas too. The engine is very geared towards character and creature model quality, lighting, and other special effects.
I see some of y'all talking about disabling the in-game timer. How would one reasonably go through that?
I don't want to make a burner Steam account but I wanna try to give the demo another run without anything running in the background to see if my PC is finally breaking at the default settings. It did get choppy for me, and if it did during dialog, this broke the cutscenes.

tried it on my mobile 1050 GTX 2Gb and it ran smooth 60fps on 1080p and some of the things set too low and some of the heavier things off. and it looked good i think. im quite chocked over how good performance it was. i think i can crank some things up and go for a stabile 30fps instead.
Playing on a decent-ish gaming laptop (1070 8gb, i7 7700q) it ran on ultra 1080p at 58-60fps with just minor dips pre cutscenes. I want to believe that, being a demo, performance will be better than on pro, but I´m not so sure.
It ran choppy on my 970 + i5 6600k, but I was playing at 1440p. RE7 just barely maintained 1080p/60fps on the 970 with a few settings lowered, I think 1440p 60fps is out of the question unless everything is dialed to low. Someone will release a $250ish card with 1070+ level performance before RE2 launches, right?
This engine is a hot mess when it comes to image quality. Oversharpened image without AA and blurry mess with TAA. FXAA and SMAA barely seem to work. Capcom is clearly aiming for the filmic and CGI look with heavy post processing.

I don't think you need the SAM thing? I never used the SAM thing. ;p
Btw I falsely told Pargon that I don't get the Windows admin prompt , I definitely do, it's just I don't even notice anymore, there are so many programs I use often that for some reason require admin rights (GPUZ, hwmonitor, malwarebytes, MSI Afterburner, etc...)
Ah my b, I misread.
Regarding SmartScreen, it's possible you both downloaded it from different places and they have different SmartScreen reputations because of it.
Thanks! It looks times way better with the vignetting off.
The effect is too aggressive, it hides a lot of detail.
The 1080 Ti has 11GB of VRAM but I get the warning message once I hit total ~
8GB usage in the graphics settings...what gives?

Are these screens native 1080p with TAA?Sure, here you have some. I'll put them in spoiler because there are plenty of pictures (above: Vignetting, below: No vignetting):
In the last picture you can see that disabling vignetting causes a small graphical glitch (look the window), but it comes back as normal once you approach to it.
Okay, got into the game. It is hanging on the story loading screen, where it talks about Leon coming to town, seeing zombies, getting separated from Claire, and going to the police station. Stuck on 20% for a few minutes.
I meet minimum requirements, but I'll have to upgrade.
Wanted to get new Ryzen processors, but don't know if I want to wait that long...
EDIT: Hard shutdown, will retry tomorrow.

Screen-space reflections is such an FPS killer.
I go down 10fps simply by turning it on. Doesn't matter where in the game.
I can manage a decent 55-60fps for most of the game with everything at around medium and high (1080p) I'm just worried later in the game its gonna wreck me.

Same here. Does it also crash for you if you max everything, or does it just run slower?
It just stuttered, no crashing. But also it's the first game to really send my PC fans into overdrive when fully maxed out
I don't know if this has been mentioned already but I wanted to point out the reason why screenshots being posted in this thread look washed out. Its the browser. I checked Chrome, Firefox and Opera and they all exhibit the same behavior. If you save the screenshot and view it in an image viewer application or default Windows Photos app, you see correct black levels. The same picture when viewed in any of the browsers appears washed out. Wonder what could be causing this. Hardware acceleration setting in browsers?
A 1050ti will probably play this but mostly on low, idk I just got a 1060 and I'm very happy to be able to play at recommended settings which is a mix of high, med and low, I could up the textures a little, running at 98%GPU usage, I just can't see a 1050ti doing basically the same, it's significantly weaker.
That's the thing with screen shots generally, my picture looks really crisp with rec 709 settings on my ips monitor it would probably still look similar on my phone's ips screen, but who knows how it would look in everyone's else's screens.
The browser thing is curiosity of course.

On my side I am amazed how well optimized the game is. I am playing on a mini PC (Zotac En760) which has low laptops specs (i5 low voltage, 8GB DDR3 and GTX860m GDDR5 2GB). Medium quality textures, AA to the max, filtering x16, runs in the lower 50s FPS at 1360x768, the resolution of my old TV.
By locking at 30fps, I can even crank up a few things without a single dip below 30FPS. Amazing.

Re 7 had good framerates for me but I had A LOT of stuttering issues while I had none in this demo.
Will try the RE7 demo to check it out. Anyway will definitely buy RE2 remake.

Getting +100 fps at 1440p all maxed out in DX11
Pretty happy with it, it just needs some tweaks here and there.

Workout for in-house graphics engine programmers. Seems like they failed completely this time though.
No, without it the game cannot have DXR ray Traced relecftions which are coming. This is a pre-release build and it clearly has issues, I covered a comparison in my video on DX11 and DX12 at the weekend, around 18% worse in DX12 like for like but I am sure it will be much better. Games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider can see 50% improvement from DX12 to DX11 on Nvidia and a smaller margin on AMD cards which I just covered recently. A new API like this will always have teething issues and developers need to understand it, learn and tweak.
holy shit that's a HUGE difference i knew there was some annoying grain but didn't mind it , thanks.Default settings:
Calibrated sRGB settings:
Calibrated Rec.709 settings:
does anyone know what the review of the game is like? are people playing the game right now or is it a venue based review thing where they invite staff to a hotel to play the game and do the review?
I thought this game had a sharpening fitler, RE7 didn't look this bad with TAA off, it also looks like the dithering is worse which probably can't be fixed, it seems a popular optimisation these days is to make the hair alpha very low quality, like 1bit & just get TAA to hide it. FFXV does it too & probably Console exclusives where we can't turn the TAA off.
You can turn off the sharpening filter, it's in the PCGamingWiki page of the game.
Vignetting and sharpening can be disabled by hex editing the executable. https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Resident_Evil_2_(2019)#Sharpening
I was surprised to see that it is actually being sharpened, as the results are still quite soft when TAA is enabled.
Do you still believe DXR support is coming? There has been no further word on the topic since the first word on it from DF at Gamescom 2018. They or NVIDIA would have advertised it by now.
How do those look?
Rec. 709, no calibration, I think looks good? Wouldn't want it any darker tbh (it's already really dark on my screen except the mainhall)

1080p with TAA and 150% internal resolution IIRC.
BTW, you can now disable sharpening and remove black bars for 16:9 cutscenes in 21:9 aspect ratio:

Great, now I have to download the demo again and test it.
