The PC requirements for the upcoming Resident Evil VILLAGE, or Resident Evil 8 as its commonly referred as, have been officially revealed.

Overall they are slightly more demanding than we initially expected, but the game will take full advantage of ray tracing, and hopefully DLSS, which should provide a great looking horror experience.

Here are the PC requirements for Resident Evil 8.

Resident Evil 8 Requirements Minimum

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • OS: Windows 10 (64-BIT Required)
  • VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti or AMD Radeon RX 560
  • VRAM: 4GB

These specs are designed for 1080p/60fps gameplay with the graphics “Performance Focus” setting.

Coupling these specs with an Nvidia RTX 2060 or AMD RX 6700XT will allow for 1080p/60fps with ray tracing.

Resident Evil 8 Recommended Requirement Without Ray Tracing

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • OS: Windows 10 (64-BIT Required)
  • VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700

These specs will allow for 1080p/60fps using the “Focus on Screen Quality” graphics settings.

To allow for 1080p/60fps with ray tracing it is recommended pairing these CPUs with either an Nvidia RTX 2070 or AMD RX 6700 XT.

Resident Evil 8 Recommended Requirement With Ray Tracing

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • OS: Windows 10 (64-BIT Required)
  • VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2070 (4K/45fps), Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 (4K/60fps), AMD RX 6700 XT (4K/45fps), AMD RX 6800 (4K/45fps), AMD RX 6900 XT (4K/60fps)

These requirements are very interesting, especially when it comes to the ray tracing requirements.

During a recent AMD event, that showcased the new RX 6700 XT, it was revealed that Resident Evil 8 would be optimized for AMD GPUs. Quite often we see games tailored towards either Nvidia or AMD cards, offering the best performance for those users.

So it is very surprising to see it stated that RE8 will run at 4K/45fps using an RX 6700 XT, but 4K/60fps using an Nvidia RTX 3070, especially considering those cards are very similar in cost and performance.
