The demo for Capcom’s survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 Remake, is now available on PC, and we’ve put together the best settings for getting optimized performance on low-to-mid end system specs. Given that the demo has been released a couple of weeks prior to the game’s release, chances are that the final build will perform the same.
Before we delve into the best settings for the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo on PC, make sure you’ve updated your GPU drivers and Windows to their latest respective versions. Additionally, disable or close any unnecessary background applications in order to reduce the CPU overhead as much as possible. The settings detailed ahead should provide a more optimized balance between graphics and frame rate compared to the presets available in-game.
