The Resident Evil 3 remake is bound to bring back memories from the 1990s. This game title was rebuilt from the ground up in their proprietary RE Engine, the same one used to develop Resident Evil: Village. The remake is different but also superb compared to Resident Evil 3 from 1999. It’s a 3D game, features the latest state-of-the-art visual technologies, and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with modern-day AAA titles. This is reflected in the system requirements of Resident Evil 3 Remake.
You need a Core™ i5-4460 or an AMD© FX-6300 coupled with a GTX 760 2 GB or a Radeon™ R7 260X 2 GB at a minimum to run the game at 1080p 30fps using the lowest settings. The title isn’t very hardware-intensive and, because it looks astounding, we can infer that Capcom masterfully optimized the game on PC. The title also includes an all-new 1 vs 4 co-op online multiplayer mode called Resident Evil: Resistance with characters from the entire Resident Evil lore. The requirements for Resistance are a bit higher than the RE3 Remake.
