Resident Evil 8 Village benchmark test & performance review

From a technical perspective, Resident Evil Village is very impressive. Capcom has achieved amazing graphics that look fantastic even without raytracing. It's not only detail, but also the atmosphere and art style that support the claustrophobic emotions of this survival-horror shooter. Character rendering has always been good in recent Resident Evil titles, and Village improves on that while still using the same "RE Engine" as DMC5. Faces, characters, and animations are extremely lifelike and believable. AMD has partnered with Capcom to include several FidelityFX technologies. For example, Fidelity FX CAS helps sharpen little details that otherwise are slightly blurred, possibly due to the anti-aliasing algorithms. There's also FidelityFX CACAO (Combined Adaptive Compute Ambient Occlusion), an improved version of ambient occlusion. I tried to spot differences in various scenes, but didn't find anything.

Especially on AMD RDNA2, the performance is unbelievable. AMD's latest graphics architecture powers not only the Radeon RX 6000 Series "Big Navi" graphics cards, but also the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This is probably the reason why the game runs so well on RDNA2—games get developed and optimized for consoles first. In our performance tests with RT off, we see AMD's latest cards punch far above their weight. For example, at 1440p, we usually have the RX 6800 XT fight it out with the RTX 3080. Here, even the RX 6800 non-XT can beat nVidia's second-fastest SKU. While the fight RTX 3090 vs. RX 6900 XT is usually a win for nVidia, depending on resolution, the RX 6900 XT always beats the RTX 3090 in Resident Evil, at 1080p even with a 17% (!!) margin. The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a great card for 1440p gaming; it can achieve 73 FPS at 4K, and at lower resolutions, it's faster than the RTX 2080 Ti.
