Resident Evil 2 (2019) PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Almost any game with a DX12 mode, on AMD. Which is why I'd really like to hear some impressions from other AMD card owners...
Is that right? Interesting. I'm on the Nvidia end of things and it's always worse!
The Division 1 runs better on my ryzen/nvidia system with DX12. Other then that? No, not really.
I agree in that graphically it does not seem to be a significant step up, atleast not for the way it runs and the hardware it demands (It runs fine but considering the improvements without rtx are so small I'd expect the FPS to fly past 90-100)
Additionally one of the biggest draw for me was being able to get rid of CA and the TAA blur, but while I can turn CA off turning off TAA is just absolutely horrible because the game's assets are clearly not built to be seen without it.
This is the only game where DX12 runs worse for me so far on my 2080.
Shadow of Tomb Raider, Gears 4 and The Division 1, both perform better in DX12.
I also got smoother performance using DX11. DX12 had a bit of stuttering. Windows 10 Pro fully updated on a GTX 1080.
World of Warcraft runs considerably better on DX12 since the last patch, and Battlefield V also works better for me.
Just to let you know, DX11 performs way better than DX12 on 1080ti, I notice zero difference in visual quality but my framerate went from 35fps in that first corridor after you go under the shutter to 48fps, that's at max settings and 4k, If I drop volumetric to medium I am getting 57-60fps in that corridor.
SSAO gives about a 3fps increase over HBAO+ (from my limited testing I just did.) so if you drop HBAO+ down to SSAO you should get solid 60/4k (unless there are more graphically demanding areas than that first corridor looking towards the fire hose.

I believe that particular area is the most demanding of all in this demo so far.
Did you try it with shadow cache on?
Awesome
Can't wait to use that Trainer and look at all the different settings
Game ran really well for me, but I did get a few stutters here and there. I was always above 100 fps on a 1080ti, at 1440p. Most of my settings were at max, aside from a couple.
Interesting, BFV runs worse for me.
Haven't played Shadow, good to know. I did play Gears and the Division but it was a while ago now so maybe I'm just forgetting.
This game looks mediocre with SMAA, so many jaggies & dithering that is hid with TAA, it's really made for TAA in mind, the days of sharp AA are over my friends.
Some points
-Shadow Cache, just like RE7, that eats up a ton of VRAM, turn that shit off.
-The SSR still sucks on PC just like on Consoles, unless this demo is really old, it probs won't be fixed by the final game.
Also i dunno if anyone noticed this, but the lights from the other room go through the bullet holes in the door, reminds me of Division.

So does the trainer properly freeze the clock and allow you to play the demo indefinitely? Just wanted confirmation from someone that the trainer actually works as intended. Also that it doesn't contain any viruses.
Yup, I had that on already, tried it with and without and you're right, there is a 5-9 fps difference, much better with it on than without.
So yeah, these are the settings I am sticking with, might drop render res to 90% just to make sure it stays above 60 at all times and leave HBAO+ on and might bump up volumetric but honestly, it seems pointless as there really is no difference between high and medium on the latter (at least to my eye.)
I am reluctant to play more, sitting at 15 mins now, might wait for a trainer to come out.
Always a risk of that with trainers, especially from someone like 3DM (which I believe is where the trainer originates from currently.)
Weirdly enough turning shadow caching off eats up 10-12FPS for me and turning it on makes it perform better. But considering what shadow cache does it should work that way. You even see it in the graph that if you turn shadow cache on it lowers the "processing requirement" so I'm assuming it's working as intended for me.This game looks mediocre with SMAA, so many jaggies & dithering that is hid with TAA, it's really made for TAA in mind, the days of sharp AA are over my friends.

I'm disappointed about the SSR as well, atleast PC will have rtx. While I dont have an rtx card yet I will someday in the future so it's good to know it's there.
1080 Ti under water custom unlocked bios + 8700K 5.3GHz at 1440p everything maxed out preset runs the game easy as piss no stutters.
Checked REAL VRAM usage using GPUZ it's only around 6GB at 1440p will do a 4K run next.
Use GPUZ to log your VRAM usage. In-game estimates are always trash.
Edit: Any setting I need to tweak so Leon movement and my mouse don't feel so desynced?

Why does my memory readout in the settings display in red and my setting ms say 2.93Gb/0.11?
I have a 980Ti, surely it's not being seen as having 0.11Gb of ram by this game?
I had a message saying something like severe crashes will happen.

Yeah the rumors of the PC version having RTX reflections would be real nice right now, but yeah the shadow cache is kind of a pick your poison scenario, it seems it's eating up too much VRAM for people, but the performance penalty with it off might be a bit too much also.
Not a rumor. It's confirmed.
Although it looks a bit odd because Leon is so shiny, if it's due to him being in the rain then that's fine but if that's sweat then lol !
Well so was was under the VRAM limit when I turned shadow caching off and yet it affected my performance significantly.

sRBG color is brighter but it gets rid of the crushed blacks better, try that?
Either try changing the colour options in the menu like someone else said above or what I did was in the brightness settings bit I put the white graph far right, black graph far left and leave the last one in the middle. Looks far less washed out.
Check your actual VRAM usage.
It isnt going anywhere near as high as to "be blessing" over the 80TI because of VRAM.
Trainer works fine. Scanning with MalwareBytes gives you a Riskware.GameHack warning, basically a false positive.
Weird question - I felt like RE4 played better with a controller than M+KB because the game was designed around not having insane precision in your aiming abilities. What's the take on this one?
Drop volumetric lighting to medium. It should improve fps significantly.
I thought the only "RTX" features RE2 would have is just DLSS and not actual raytracing?
Gears 4 doesn't have a DX11 mode, right? I can't remember but it's UWP so it probably doesn't have a DX11 version.
You're correct.
It's because the aiming here is the exact same as RE7 with that bloom mechanic where you have to wait a bit before the reticule becomes small. Also there's a weird floatiness to aiming in RE7 and this game which doesn't work well with controller. On PC it works a lot easier which is reverse from what it was like in RE4-6
No. These are just API differences DX12 doesn't have any exclusive rendering features like DX11 did with tessellation.
I'm upgrading from my "ancient" build (GTX 760 / i5-3570K) to a newer one ( GTX 1070 Ti / i5-9600K) *just* for this game.
I knew it was time to upgrade when my GPU was listed as a "minimum" setting. Ooooof.
The trigger is Marvin calling you when you enter the library. If you return to him the demo ends.
Same for me, +10-13 fps on my GTX 970 (and +300-400mb of VRAM though)
Why would you want it to be easy aiming in a Resident Evil game? :P
In all seriousness though, I cruised through RE7 no problem on my PS4 with a controller.
While I'm under the impression the game is meant to get RT reflections, this video shows screen space reflections.
