Resident Evil Village Runs at 4K 60fps on PS5 & XSX, 45fps With Ray Tracing On

Capcom has revealed the frame-rate and resolution for Resident Evil Village, with next-gen consoles getting the 4K, 60fps treatment. Check out the frame rate and resolutions for every platform (current and next-gen).

[waverider]

This must be some kind of mistake. 45 frames? what the hell is that?

[DJStotty]

That is in-between 30 frames and 60 frames

[darthv72]

We hear so much about if a game cant hit 60 then it should lock to 30 and here comes Capcom with a 'hold my beer' and does 45. That's just nuts.

[bouzebbal]

Sounds great.. I hope it gets psvr support.

[kayoss]

I laughed too hard at this comment.

[Babadook7]

Whole different world for a typical pc gamer. As in running way lower settings.

[BenRC01]

The trailer looks so last gen, it's definitely a last gen graphics engine. Ray tracing is the death of 60fps this gen

[PrinceAli]

Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank and games like Forza, Gran Turismo will beg to differ bro

[Axel-Foley]

At least you can turn it off and get the higher frame-rate.

[CobraKai]

And in the case of Spider-Man, you can have your cake and eat it too with 60fps and RTX. 4K is nice but isn’t necessary.
I think this game looks amazing on current and last gen.

[dadavis1992]

Have you played the demo? It’s a gorgeous game. The interior lighting and material work is outstanding, and looks almost photo-real in HDR

[BehindTheRows]

On consoles, maybe. Whole different world for us PC folks, particularly those of us with RTX cards considered high-end, such as my outgoing TITAN RTX.

In any event, I tried to tell console fans that this 60-120fps train would eventually crash as the gen progressed and games started to get more demanding. While Village isn’t the most advanced, expect to see this more as devs push fidelity over frame rate. That’s just what sells!

[Sirk7x]

The RE engine is great, what? Capcom has been killing it lately.

[CrimsonWing69]

It’s weird that a cross-gen game still struggles to hit 60fps with a next-gen feature turned on... well, there’s always next-gen, I suppose.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

This isn't even full Ray Tracing and a $1,500 GPU will still struggle to hit 60 FPS. You are expecting too much from $500 machines.

[snake-OO]

This is still a last gen engine game with next generation features tacked on. To have the game run at 60fps with ray tracing, they would have to rebuild the whole engine that is wholly optimised for ps5/XSX/PC. They are saving that for RE8.

[DarXyde]

You're really underestimating how expensive ray tracing is. Imagine a situation where every reflective surface in a game is just waiting for any myriad of light calculations, and done in a realistic manner. There is a reason why even high-end GPUs do this with some compromise and, in the case of NVidia cards, have dedicated ray tracing cores: so that they can focus entirely on that. When you consider that you're only really getting that full ray tracing on NVidia cards using DLSS, it speaks volumes of the burden it places on a card running games at 4K/60fps.

Personally, I actually expect ray tracing to work better on PS5 than Series X; the SSD is faster which is likely to help reduce 4K pop-in and allow for only rendering what is in view. Being a FPS in a closed environment, I think the PS5 can pull this off and be better at maintaining frames. Will it make a big difference? Doubtful. Haven't seen any games that make a huge difference yet, really. I think the real difference will be whether or not you care about trophies/achievements or controller features.

[Orchard]

“ Personally, I actually expect ray tracing to work better on PS5 than Series X; the SSD is faster which is likely to help reduce 4K pop-in and allow for only rendering what is in view.”

This doesn’t make sense - SSD speeds basically have no impact on ray tracing capabilities & in order to ray trace you need to be processing what isn’t in view/everything in the scene... what is not in view can still show up in a reflection on an object which is in view.

Really, we just need AMD to step up and produced a DLSS equivalent that performs as good as Nvidia’s.

[BrettAwesome]

@snake-OO
Uhm...so this game IS RE8, with...you know...the last one being RE7 and all...so, there's that...

[snake-OO]

I was meant to say RE9 not RE8

[frostypants]

People don't understand what a processing bandwidth pig ray tracing is.

[DarXyde]

Orchard,

"This doesn’t make sense - SSD speeds basically have no impact on ray tracing capabilities & in order to ray trace you need to be processing what isn’t in view/everything in the scene... what is not in view can still show up in a reflection on an object which is in view."

If a scene is fully ray traced, you may have a point. I don't expect it to be, nor do I expect the reflections to be 4k. If they do go for full ray tracing on all surfaces, I still partly disagree. All it means is everything can be rendered (in and out of view) but the resolution of things out of view is lower until the camera turns (e.g., foveated rendering). The speed of the SSD is actually helpful in such instances where there needs not be such strict attention to what is off screen, but it can still be rendered, albeit at lower resolutions.

[anubusgold]

@CantThinkOfAUsername
And Nvidia raytracing is 1.5 times faster than amd because they have better dedicated hardware for it.

[SinkingSage]

This is the power of next gen consoles. Outdated at launch.

[darthv72]

That's the power of pine-sol baby.

[PersonMan]

When has this ever not been the case? Consoles are weaker than PCs all the time. They have to try to find a balance between price and performance. You can't have everything and expect to pay $500

[JimBeans]

45 is better than 30.

[northpaws]

That's one more than 44, and one less than 46.

With that said, I am glad you found something to complain about, I was afraid for once people would be just happy about something. /s

[Jin_Sakai]

4K w/ RT @ 45fps? Why not just drop the resolution to get 60fps?

[BrettAwesome]

Yes. I'd be happy with 1440p@60fps with RT

[anubusgold]

@Jin_Sakai Sony doesnt like 1440P lol

[RaidenBlack]

So RT affectionados have to endure irregular frame pacing?

[BenRC01]

Love how a bunch of forum dwellers know better than one of the biggest game developers on the planet

[RaidenBlack]

Here's DF's take on this, fellow forum-dweller:
https://twitter.com/dark1x/...

[Muigi]

Welcome to N4G you new here?

[northpaws]

@RaidenBlack

While I mostly enjoyed DF contents, the sole purpose of their contents are the fuel console/pc wars, because otherwise, who cares, just enjoy the game.

[mearl74]

Exactly! SMH

[dumahim]

VRR

[RaidenBlack]

yup, but its adoption rate is still at its infancy.

[Vanfernal]

I think they should add an option for a lower ray traced resolution that reaches 60fps.

[excaliburps]

I’m fine with 45fps as long as it’s stable. I mean, if not, that could be an issue for most, no?

[Vanfernal]

Yeah, that's why I said it should be an option. Personally I would rather take a hit on resolution than framerate. The RE engine is very clean looking so even an upscaled lower resolution looks really good. I can't imagine it would be too hard to implement.

[Mr Logic]

45fps is unstable by definition, unless you're on VRR. A regular display will only do 60hz, so every third frame is being duplicated causing a constant judder.

[MadLad]

When my original PC was getting long in the tooth, I locked my FPS in games to the same. It's hard to explain why, but it looked and felt a hell of a lot closer to 60 than 30.

[RosweeSon]

I think you should just play the game and see it’s not that major a deal first 😑🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

[Vanfernal]

Yeah... How dare people prefer to have options. /s 🤦🏻‍♂️

[RaiderNation]

Agreed. Miles Morales at 1440p/60fp/RT looks and runs glorious!

[Vanfernal]

Exactly! That was the first game that came to mind!

[neutralgamer1992]

Hopefully there is an option for locked 30FPS with RT for those wanting to playing with RT. 45 sounds weird. But most games want 60FPS so that 4k option is the best way to play with 60FPS

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

45 is the minimum for smooth gameplay (I'd argue that 48 is, at least on PC).

[Mr Logic]

Not on a 60hz display.

[BrettAwesome]

Yes. Especially because most TV's actually have a native 48hz mode to support movies, which run at 24fps. I believe many TV's even have a 96hz mode for the same reason.

[Father__Merrin]

Tbh a slower paced game like this 45fps with rt is gonna be great.

[DJStotty]

My TV is 50hz, so it is only a loss of 5 frames per second for me lol...

[Highrevz]

You in UK? Some TVs here are strange with the hz listing. I don’t fully understand it but 2 of my TVs I assumed was 50hz are detected as supporting 60hz in game mode.

45fps for a game of this pace should be fine and still feel lots better then 30FPS as long as it’s stable.

[DJStotty]

Yeah in the UK, i want a 4K/120hz Samsung but i don't want to get rinsed lol. It has dropped a lot and is currently £899.99 so i might take the plunge soon.

I might have a double check tonight but i think when i bought it around 7 years ago it was listed as 50hz, but i understand some panels are listed at 50 but can actually display 60, not sure..

But yeah, i am more than happy with 45fps with raytracing on.

[philm87]

My TV says it supports 4k YUV420 at 60hz with HDR on, can do 120hz at 1080p though. PS5 video output info tells you what your TV can do, was a bit confused myself before looking at that.

@DJStotty, maybe consider a place that sells TVs that didn't quite make it through quality control. I got my Samsung for a bargain price over 4 years ago from here https://www.theelectronicsw... and it's brilliant. Just had the tiniest mark on the screen that you don't notice unless you really look for it.

[Father__Merrin]

Well I've been playing assassins creed oddessey at a 45fps lock it's too difficult to get it running at 60 in towns cities etc even with higher end pc hardware. The 45fps lock runs very well you get used to it. So an even slower paced game like RE the 45fpa will be just fine.

[Locutus_of_borg]

I looked into this issue awhile ago, from the various pages I read , it said that basically all 50hz tv’s are 60hz .. it’s exactly the same tv, just called 50hz because of being in a Pal region... the Other format, I can’t remember .. ntsc.. or something was advertised as the 60hz

[Skate-AK]

45 fps in a first person game? Aiming won't be very smooth. Get on that VRR update Sony.

[Zertheon]

If 45 fps is a thing how come we haven’t heard of this before? Why don’t more games aim for it? I thought capabilities allowed only 15, 30, 60, 120?

[DJStotty]

FPS can be whatever is stable, or a standard.

Films are 24 fps

Games tend to be 30/60 or now 120 on consoles as a standard target, to coincide with the refresh rates of displays, that tend to be 60hz/120hz although some older sets are 50hz. All it means is having a game at 45fps, on a 60hz display, means some frames will be displayed every 2 refreshes of the display, and others 1.

PC can have any fps in the range the GPU can support, so some games can go up to 200+ fps

There is no set capabilities restriction, it is just how it matches display refresh rates.

So 30fps on 60hz (1 frame every 2 refreshes)
60fps on 60hz (1 frame every 1 refresh)

[Nitrowolf2]

FPS can output whatever a dev wants. If they want 20fps lock they will lock 20fps, 80fps? 38fps? You bet.

The increments you have today are just the ideal standards, but devs on pc usually leave things uncapped with some users hitting the middle point

[MetroidFREAK21]

How odd of a choice. I'll probably stick to 60, though I may try it with RT enabled

[SoulWarrior]

60fps on PS4 Pro and 1X, no 60fps on XSS, hmmm.

[DJStotty]

Raytracing/faster load times on Series S, but not on PS4 Pro or Xbox 1X? hmmmmm

PS4 Pro and 1X are only 60fps @ 1080p, the Series S is 1440p @45fps

Nice attempt at bashing the Series S, well played.

[waverider]

Dude Ratracing ishhh... Its good that you like the S. But a game running at 4k and another at 1440p.... And better wait for real in game testing.... I have even doubts about the PS5 and Series X RT impact on this game much less the S....

The casual gamers dont care about RT or a bit higher frames. Its all about how it looks and the rez diference is huge.

[DJStotty]

I don't get the comparison between Series S and 4K though?

Everyone knows Series S will target 1440p in most if not all games, so why the discussion about why it is not 4K?

1440p @ 45 fps is perfectly fine for the Series S, it is not a case of whether i like it or not, i have the Series X.

If the Series S was 1080p like the PS4 Pro/XB1X, then it too would be 60fps wouldn't it?

Raytracing is also a good addition to games when done correctly.

[SoulWarrior]

You've got to be the most defensive xbox fanboy/apologist I've ever seen on this site. I think basically everyone in here would take 1080p 60fps over 1440p 45fps, I know I would any day of the week, surely there could have at least been an option for it given the potato CPU's in the last gen enhanced consoles? Makes you think.

[DJStotty]

@SoulWarrior

"You've got to be the most defensive xbox fanboy/apologist I've ever seen on this site. I think basically everyone in here would take 1080p 60fps over 1440p 45fps"

No, not a fanboy at all, or an apologist, the Series S is outputting at the advertised resolution of 1440p, if that makes me a defensive fanboy, so be it.

So your saying you would get a better experience playing the Xbox One X version as opposed to the Series S? Don't talk wet.

So your for FPS over resolution? is that your preference? So what do you say of the 45fps on PS5 and Series X? Let me guess? but but but?

I could understand if i was defending 1440p @ 45fps on PS5 and Series X, but we are talking Series S, a half powerful stop gap between the One X and the Series X. Anyone even questioning why it is "only 1440p" or lower fps needs to have a word with themselves.

[Nitrowolf2]

“ So your for FPS over resolution? is that your preference? So what do you say of the 45fps on PS5 and Series X”

Is this something he seriously needs to answer when 4K 60fps option is there????

[SoulWarrior]

@dj that's a moot point as I would simply choose the 60fps option always over raytracing lol. And you're only kidding yourself tbh, I've never seen any get as uppity as you about Xbox or if someone questions the XSS considerably lower specs for a 'current gen' system.

Surely if the PS4 Pro and 1X can have a 1080p 60fps option, then the Seris S also can? As it stands, of all the 'current' gen systems XSS is the only one lacking 60fps, even 2 of the last gen machines have this option *shrug*

[DJStotty]

" I've never seen any get as uppity as you about Xbox or if someone questions the XSS considerably lower specs for a 'current gen' system."

Not really, i was referring to the argument of "4K" on the Series S that waverider referenced :-

"But a game running at 4k and another at 1440p"

I even called the Series S this "but we are talking Series S, a half powerful stop gap between the One X and the Series X."

After all i do not have the S, so don't need to "defend" it, (shrugs)

[Nerdmaster]

That's good to know. From my own experience as a PC gamer, although 30fps really bothers me, 45 is around the minimum for a fluid experience. When my PC is a little old and I need to sacrifice some quality to improve performance, keeping it at around 45 is what I try to do. (of course, when this happens I usually take it as a sign to just buy a new PC).

[AnnaDea]

I'm gonna switch back and forth to see the difference and then decide what to play it in. But probably in RT. Cyberpunk 2077 with Ray Tracing was unbelievably good and added so much to the immersion.

[giovonni]

Oh lord!!!!! I’m getting it!!!

[JEECE]

I want to blast Series S for not doing 60 fps but after the Outriders situation I'll wait and see if that's actually a mistake lol.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

How about just giving us 30 fps + RT. Lock it at 30, and we’re good.

[hiawa23]

Problem is everyone doesn't seem to want that.

[PersonMan]

Even if it's just an option?

[moomoo319]

Cyberpunk hovered around 45fps for me wit ray tracing on a 2070 super. Its a fair trade off.

[Nitrowolf2]

As long as it’s stable it’s fine, but anything not then they should have either went 30 or lower the resolution to 1080

[Hellcat2020]

I'm happy to be out of that 900p 30fps era
I'm happy with 4K 60fps now

[PersonMan]

Hah, don't get used to it. We're still early into this gen with mostly cross plat games and backwards compatible games. Hahaha. Don't get used to 4K/60, it won't last.

[Shuckylad]

1080/120 should also be an option on all games these days for xsx/ps5.

[RaiderNation]

Would rather have a 1440p + 60fp + RT option like in Spider-Man Miles Morales.

[Mr Logic]

The cope in this thread is HARD.

[hiawa23]

I don't make games, so if that is the best they could do, so be it. Maybe, the game will get a performance patch later. I have PS5 digital copy pre-ordered.

[PersonMan]

Gross

[Orchard]

45fps whether capped or average is gonna be pretty jarring for a first person game with combat. They should’ve just capped it at 30fps or dropped the res and hit 60.

This gives a huge advantage to XSX for the ray traced version too, since Xbox has VRR.

[RazzerRedux]

There is no "huge advantage" as most TVs do not support VRR at all.

[Orchard]

If you want to be pedantic, sure I will reword it:

Huge advantage for those who bought a new TV in the last 2-3 years. Only a temporary advantage anyway - PS5 will get VRR at some point.

[RazzerRedux]

Are you seriously pretending that every "new TV in the last 2-3 years" has VRR? VRR isn't a feature most TV buyers care about or is even available.

Somehow calling out your bullshit that it is a "huge advantage" is pedantic? That's hilarious. It is a minor advantage at best.

[Orchard]

Pretending? Not sure why you're so hurt over VRR. It's a pretty useful feature, especially on 120hz target games / games that can't hold framerate.

While not all new TV's have it, a lot do. Samsung & LG have been offering VRR on mainstream panels for years. My Samsung TV from 2018 has VRR, heck even TCL is offering VRR panels since around 2019.

So, which brand of TV are you referring to? and in what way is VRR not a huge advantage in games for those who have displays with support? And if it's not advantageous, why are Sony wasting resources to implement it? Realistically, we're going to depend on things like VRR & DLSS/Fidelity if we want to have 120hz games, or higher framerate targets for raytracing modes more regularly.

[RazzerRedux]

Predictably, you avoided the question completely.

"Are you seriously pretending that every "new TV in the last 2-3 years" has VRR? "

[Orchard]

Reading comprehension must be difficult for you. There is a direct answer to your question there:

"While not all new TV's have it, a lot do. Samsung & LG have been offering VRR on mainstream panels for years. My Samsung TV from 2018 has VRR, heck even TCL is offering VRR panels since around 2019. "

So why the hate on VRR?

[RazzerRedux]

Got it. There is no huge advantage for XSX as VRR is simply not a feature commonly found in TVs. I'll accept your inability to prove your point as confirmation that you made it up.

"So why the hate on VRR?"

I made no negative remarks about VRR at all. More shit you made up.

Done here.

[Orchard]

Well, I listed TV brands above which are common/mainstream brands and have been shipping VRR panels for years. Your inability to provide anything to the contrary or address any of my questions is somewhat disappointing.

"Done here" I guess that means you couldn't provide any counter points, but thanks for playing / attempting to play. You get a 6/10 for effort.

[Binarycode]

I watched the showcase last night and there's a part that made me laugh, I love details in games and spot them if they are not there.

There's a section when you go into a room and there is a window open blowing cold air in, infact it's howling outside, yet inside there is nothing happening. The wind affects nothing. The table cloths do not move at all. Kinda made me laugh. Had it been ND they would have been all over that.

As for the FPS.

It should be 4K 60fps.

Raytracing. 1440p or 1800p, to reach 60fps.

wtf is 45fps. lol

[lazyboyblue]

Ouch harsh. As the truth always is.

[Shinox]

I don't know what's worse , the fact that Capcom using a shitty modified and dated Unity engine named "RE Engine" or people damage controlling for Capcom in the comments .. can't even tell if those actual people or shill accounts , even the dislikes ratio is really suspiciously questionable from every Capcom related article 🤔

[Petebloodyonion]

OK lots to digest here.
1) Funny that PS4 pro get a good 1080p/60 frames for a game that was never made for current gen?
Like didn't they said when announced that they would skip the current gen because it was to hard and difficult to do
If the case How come it's not 4k and 60 frames with everything on since if the impossible can be done at 1080P/60 surely it should be a cakewalk for next gen #LyingBSFromcapcom.

2) WTF for Serie S , like Why would I want a 1440P/45 frame per second instead of a 1080P/60 frames?

3) And the serie S is to weak to do a 60 frames but wow it sure powerful to pull the same 1440P resolution but at the cost of just 15 frames why not drop the resolution to 1080P and boost frame?

[jznrpg]

45FPS not bad for this type of game . Go ahead and play 60fps if ya want but I don’t mind 45 at all. 30fps is fine for most games higher is better generally up to 60fps but I don’t mind 30fps most of the time unless the dips are bad

[Aussiesummer]

Early days cross gen game, give it time and naughty dog and Santa Monica will show us what can be done then when fidelityfx drops its full throttle.

[AuraAbjure]

Awesome. I bet it could hit 60 FPS w/ray tracing at 1440p.

[Rimeskeem]

Can we get 1080P options too? Some of us have monitors that will do lower res but higher fps!

[deadfrag]

Theres still people that think Hz has anything to do with framerate (FPS).60hz or 120hz is not the same has 60fps or 120fps!45fps on any display that does not support Vrr is going to Run like crap due to the Spikes in frame times uneven frames its going to looks and feel bad!

[BrockEmSockEm]

PC will be alright.

[Robodrake]

'Member when people were saying the ps5 could only run this game at 1080p because it was so "weak".

[lonewolf10]

No, when did anyone say that?

[lazyboyblue]

They did tbf. Around a year ago but anyone sane smelt the b.s.

[Orchard]

To be fair, the first demo they showed was running at like 10fps...

[FanboysKiller]

Resident Evil is my first favorite ip since forever.

[Holeran]

It will be great when they can implement a version of MLSS that works well on all consoles.
