Can you run Resident Evil 3? PC requirements and settings
Resident Evil 3, by CAPCOM Co., Ltd. (Action), came out on Steam on April 2, 2020.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 with 3GB VRAM
Minimum cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 460
Recommended RAM8 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a GeForce GTX 1660 Super
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Resident Evil 3 by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Resident Evil 3 doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |
| GeForce RTX 5070 | High210–289 fps | High136–188 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High184–253 fps | High119–164 fps |
| Radeon RX 7800 XT | High201–276 fps | High130–179 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | High144–198 fps | High93–128 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | High144–198 fps | High93–128 fps |
| Intel Arc B580 | High123–169 fps | High80–110 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | High119–164 fps | High77–107 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High116–160 fps | High75–104 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High102–140 fps | High66–91 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | High95–131 fps | High61–85 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | High66–90 fps | High + FSR Quality56–79 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
