Resident Evil 4 System Requirements FAQ
Can I run Resident Evil 4 on a low-end PC?▼
To play Resident Evil 4, your PC needs at least an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or Intel Core i5-7500 CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 560 (4GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) GPU, and 8GB of RAM. If your system meets these minimum specs, you should be able to run the game at lower settings. If you don't meet these, you may experience performance issues.
What GPU do I need for Resident Evil 4?▼
The minimum GPU requirement for Resident Evil 4 is an AMD Radeon RX 560 with 4GB of VRAM or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB of VRAM. For a better experience, Capcom recommends an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070.
How much RAM does Resident Evil 4 need?▼
Resident Evil 4 requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. For optimal performance and smoother gameplay, 16 GB of RAM is recommended.
Will Resident Evil 4 run on integrated graphics?▼
While it's *possible* Resident Evil 4 *might* launch on some higher-end integrated graphics solutions (like those found in recent high-end laptop CPUs), it's highly unlikely it will be playable at a reasonable framerate. The minimum dedicated GPUs (RX 560 or GTX 1050 Ti) are significantly more powerful than most integrated solutions. Expect very poor performance, if it runs at all.
What is the best graphics settings for Resident Evil 4?▼
The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Recommended' preset. If your frame rate is consistently above 60fps, try increasing individual settings like texture quality and shadow quality. If your frame rate is low, lower shadow quality, ambient occlusion, and screen space reflections for a significant performance boost.
