Resident Evil 2 (2019) PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
ok this is my experience:
gtx 1070 stock
i5 8600k stock
16 gb ddr4 3200
ssd
the game run almost flawlessly at 4k30 frame with everything on ultra except:
shadow on high
no AA
texture high 4gb
shadowcache off
volumetric light normal
no dof\blur\aberration
v-sync on
dx11
no bug but the black level are fucked up like other people say, even on space color 709.
the graphics are good but not great like i was expecting from the trailer, it's probably a very old build.

Not good, I'm loosing 15-20 fps when going from dx11 to dx12 on my 1080Ti

Sorry if this has been asked several times but...
Any clues about why this game has so many "High" texture settings? (1 GB, 2 GB, 3 GB, 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB).

I was talking about the process I described to reset the timer without using a trainer. I don't trust random executables from China.
I haven't tried using Cheat Engine to see if it's possible to freeze the timer with that.
Yeah sorry I went back and reread your post after. That said it's perfectly fine if you don't especially if you're oblivious to the scene.
STOP. Just noticed my gibberish. It's the other way around: I'm loosing FPS when going from DX11 to DX 12.
DX12 has worse performance (on my nvidia based card, at least).
One thing I remember is my shadows/lighting was weird when I played. In the starting area, there was a glow like light affect around the office chairs and around Leon himself when near the statue. I imagine a settings change can fix this.
Yes. I was having this exact problem. It gets progressively darker until the screen is pretty much black. I updated the drivers. That seemed to do the trick.
Wow setting it to rec 709 makes a huge difference.
I honestly got a bit bored with the demo yesterday because everything was bright / washed out, now it looks like a proper re game and it's not too dark either... (my nvidia color settings are set to RGB full FWIW)
3dm however are not random, they have a rather good reputation (and as far I can tell strict rules too)

They don't seem to be present in the demo (at least the very high ones). It's a 7.6GB demo build, those 6GB and 8GB "files" not being there so that they don't inflate the size of for everybody makes sense to me. Yes, you can compress those high end(ish) textures, but it's still a rather small demo...
In general higher texture resolutions exist to allow for sharper/better image quality across surfaces for people with "high" end GPUs and a lot of available VRAM. They are sometimes worthwhile and sometimes rather trivial. We have to wait for the full release to see if they are really there and if they make a difference.
By the way, that's how it looks the game at the most possible minimum graphics settings, just for the laughs:

looks just like ps1
vega 64 dx12 vs dx11
dx12 is slower by quite a bit on AMD as well. DXR being tied to dx12 is quite unfortunate as youre paying an additional performance hit on top of the extra rendering demands. lets assume the penalty here is the same as it is for AMD, thats 25~% performance hit just for using dx12. in BFV its 20%.

Oh wait, I actually have read it the other way around, your corrected way. Guess my brain and experience with DX12 automatically fixed that for me, haha. Anyways, 60fps playing on DX11 with 140% image quality/render resolution (of 1080p), with everything maxed except for texture quality (I think I use this high/2GB setting) and volumetric on medium.
Fullscreen mode gives a few fps more opposed to (borderless) windowed mode.

This is actually pretty awesome, for the classic retro feeling!
Crushed blacks? I and many others are getting raised blacks. @ _ @

Depth of field is glitched out in some places but I'm having a smooth experience with a 980ti, i7 5820k, 16gb ram, everything maxed except textures at 5gb vram at 1440p with gsync. Will try in HDR on my TV later to see how much it improves the colors.
Ran like a dream on my 1060 6GB and i5 3570k, I was worried but I'm happy to see that I'm ready for this and DMCV.
Is it just me or does the borderless window mode not vsync automatically like it should?
I really do have a lot of problems with borderless in general.

At 4k/60/HDR on a 1080ti, even with lowered lighting/shadows etc, I always get dips because of the SSR and even heavier dips during cutscenes.
I got a locked 60fps throughout the whole demo with these settings:
- DX11
- 3840x2160/60Hz/HDR
- 90% resolutionscale
- everything on/max, except:
- AA = TXAA+FXAA
- AO = SSAO
- volumetric lighting = medium.
Resolution with 90% scale should be 3456x1944, VRAM usage was around 6-7GB.
FPS and Frametimes completely flat.
(looks washed out because of the bad HDR->SDR conversion screenshot utility)

I don't get the VRAM stat. My GPU has 8 GB VRAM, but I get the same smooth framerate as when I use 12,8 GB VRAM as I do when I use 7,88 VRAM.
Playing 1080p.
Edit: Tested again. I have lense distortion and film whatever it's called off and image quality or whaetever it's called at 150%, the rest is on and maxed (8 GB texture). Only thing that makes the FPS go down from 60 is when increasing the image quality form 150% to 200%, FPS drops to 44.

I tested the game with all the settings to the max and while 30 FPS where achievable in general, there were some heavy parts like the first dark hallway when you go to the cop. Flashlight + water reflections caused 20 FPS in that part. In the Main Hall it was 28-30 FPS.
My rig is a GTX 1070, 16 GB RAM DDR4 3000 Mhz and a Ryzen 5 1600.
Game looks very good despite there are some "dirty" textures like the blood on the floor in the first dark hallway. Looked very low resolution.
And despite I worked my computer's ass, temperatures were reasonable. With some games my CPU is at 70ºC or more, and with this demo didn't exceed 63ºC. It may be the cold, or maybe it has a good CPU management. Or both.

Disappointed by the sound design, especially the way the guns sound. I was playing SOMA on my surround system before I booted this, and it just sounded so incredibly massive and immersive in comparison to RE.
That plus the weird greyed blacks.

Avoid it whenever I can...
Also I read you're supposed to turn off full screen optimization in Windows but this never improved anything for me either.
Full-screen or exclusive full-screen generally offers the best performance for games in my experience.
Did you set display color to rec 709?
That got rid of any "greys" for me completely.
Man, after all the hype about RE Engine, this game doesn't look too hot. Brightness settings are completely borked and always something looks off no matter how many times tried to change them on PS4 and PC versions. Is the demo old build?
It's probably an old build but the videos and pictures can be bullshots
I solved it actually.
It works, but only in DX11 mode and not DX12.
Dont understand why.
Ah I thought it would at least run the game better than my ps4 :/
The monitor at the PD's entrance hall is bugged as well for me. it worked the first, but now it only works in DX12, which cuts my FPS by 20! On DX11 the live video footage won't play and the screen just blacks out afterwards. Weird.
It looks great!
Set display color to rec 709
Don't change anything else, calibrate your monitor / TV.
Honestly the lighting does look shit on the default settings, but rec 709 makes it look like a proper Resident Evil game and the effects / textures / lighting are stunning! (on my 1060 at least)
They're probably cutting a lot of corners on PS4 to get it running honestly. Try lower resolution that's the easiest way probably and it'll still look good, just a little less sharp, which the game isn't anyways with all those blur and dof effects - which work well for this kind of game though, mind you.

For me rec 709 was borked the game randomly gets very dark and very bright in a matter of seconds in the same location. It was obviously not working correctly for me.
Will do, thanks. Got 2.5 minutes left to test settings on a new game lol
Ah, I see that's a bummer.
What card are you using and what's your settings for colors? I noticed the Windows default settings are messed up for a lot of games.
Mine are set to RGB full in nvidia control settings.
PS: also I'm on latest nvidia drivers, maybe that does something too
1070Ti for games I use a 4K tv I think I had it set at YCBCR maybe I will try with RGB later and see if it will work correctly.
AF usually has little to no performance impact, just set it to x16.
Looks like a PS1.5 game.By the way, that's how it looks the game at the most possible minimum graphics settings, just for the laughs:
I had really inconsistent blacks on my LG B6 with the demo.
The parts in the main hall were perfect with deep blacks, but as soon as I went under the roller shutter and into the corridor, everything went grey. Not sure what's going on, but seems to be a game issue. Hope it's resolved for the full release.

Damn, I don't know what's up then. Because my computers other specs are way better than that, but I could only get an unsteady 60fps when I went to 900p with low/medium settings. But he had his card's full VRAM showing up, whereas mine said .13gb.
