What are the Resident Evil 3 system requirements? Following a new upgrade patch, the Resident Evil 3 system requirements are slightly higher than when the horror game remake was first released. As such, you may need to make some changes to your gaming PC if you’re playing on an older version of Windows or using aging hardware.

 

Here are the Resident Evil 3 system requirements:

Minimum
(1080p / 30fps)
Recommended
(1080p / 60fps)
OS Windows 10 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit
CPU Intel Core i5 4460
AMD FX 6300
Intel Core i7 3770
AMD FX 9590
RAM 8GB 8GB
GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
AMD Radeon RX 460
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
AMD Radeon RX 480
VRAM 2GB 3GB
Storage 45GB 45GB

The biggest change to the Resident Evil 3 system requirements can be found in its minimum specs, which now require a DirectX 12 compatible graphics card and operating system. For some, this will mean you’ll need to install Windows 11 or 10 on your rig, while others will need to upgrade their GPU to something at least as new as an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 460.

However, those wanting Capcom’s remake to look its very best will need to upgrade to one of the best graphics cards on the market that support ray tracing. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7 have also received the same upgrade treatment, so you’ll need the same specs listed here to run those games too.
