Resident Evil 2 Remake will be DX12-only, will have higher PC requirements

Back in March 2022, Capcom announced a new upgrade patch for Resident Evil 2 Remake (that will bring to it new Ray Tracing effects). And today, the Japanese company stated that the game will no longer support the DX11 API, meaning that it will now have higher GPU requirements.

So instead of needing at least a 10 year old GPU. You now need at least a 7 year old GPU lol.

PC people help me out...does this mean there will be people who bought the game that will no longer be able to play it unless they upgrade their PC?

It's basically mean if your gpu without dx12 support you will not be able to run this game. If you really want to play it bad with non dx 12 supported gpu you should not update the game.

Hi,
Also stated in the article :
" What this ultimately means is that owners of these two GPUs, that already have this game in their library, will be unable to play it once the upgrade patch goes live. As such, we hope that Capcom will allow PC gamers to use an older version (via the game’s Steam Beta builds). "

I do believe that Steam owners will probably have access to the old version but it won't be possible to purchase it anymore while you will be able to grab the newest version for free.
There are lots of games on Steam that have done this route.

I'll be fine with my GTX1070 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0

Why putting the complete name of the gpu? Also, no one cares. Sorry for being so direct, but I hope you can reflect on the stupidity of your comment, and learn something.

Well 2 people care.....

Not every card is the same in terms of specs, a full name provides an idea of the hardware at their disposal. You should take your own advice.

[tinchotin]

We are talking about dx12 support. Also the differences between models of the same chip are less than 10%, and we are talking about an old card.

[Shiore2u]

@tinchotin You're not talking about anything but putting someone down over listing a product in full name, due to some sort of mental impairment that makes you socially inept. Nice try though.

I bet your parents are extra proud of you lmao.

[jznrpg]

If they paid for it probably not .

[ocelot07]

It will be fine but it's knocking on that card now. 6 years old I believe.

1070 still does pretty well, if you can handle gaming in 1080p or older games at 1440p.

Sorry but it's super lame and it's better that he knows it. Just imagine in a real life conversation saying something like that, everyone would roll eyes. Now he is better prepared for life.
