How to increase FPS and reduce stuttering on PC in Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Resident Evil 4 Remake has finally been released to the public, and players have been quite enjoying their time back in the famous world. However, some fans have been experiencing trouble, especially those on PC.

While the performance of the PC port is not overly abysmal, players with a lower-end PC have been struggling to maintain a consistent FPS. Moreover, fans with high-end systems have been seeing random stutters that are causing them to have an unpleasant experience.

Best FPS settings for Resident Evil 4 Remake

The best graphics settings in the Resident Evil 4 Remake will be based on making the game still look solid graphically but lowering settings that impact FPS the most. This will give players a nice balance between looks and performance.

• Screen Resolution: The native display of your primary monitor
• Refresh Rate: The max refresh rate of your monitor
• Frame Rate: The max refresh rate of your monitor should be what your frame rate is capped at (165 Hz means 165 FPS cap)
• Display Mode: Full Screen
• Vertical Synchronization: Off
• Cinematics Resolution: Full HD
• Ray Tracing: Off
• FidelityFX Super Resolution 2: Off
• FidelityFX Super Resolution 1: Off
• Image Quality: 100%
• Rendering Mode: Normal
• Anti-aliasing: TAA
• Texture Quality: High
• Texture Filtering: High
• Mesh Quality: Low
• Shadow Quality: Off
• Shadow Cache: On
• Contact Shadows: Off
• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• Volumetric Lighting: Low
• Particle Lighting Quality: Low
• Bloom: Off
• Screen Space Reflections: Off
• Subsurface Scattering: On
• Hair Strands: Normal
• Graphic Dismemberment: On
• Persistent Corpses: Few
• Corpse Physics: Low
• Diverse Enemy Animations: Off
• Motion Blur: Off

• Destructible Environments: On
• Lens Flare: On
• Lens Distortion: On
• Depth of Field: Off
• Resource-Intense Lighting Quality: Low

If players use these settings, their game should still look great graphically, but their performance should also see quite a bump. However, if your FPS is still low, then simply turn every setting to its lowest value and perhaps lower the resolution as well.
