These are probably my favorite videos of yours, Daniel. It's educational and helps inform people about performance scaling based on various CPU/GPU generations (and product tiers). It also has comedic value to watch you poke holes in the developer's recommended hardware when they incorrectly match up GPUs of different performance levels.

RE Engine is one of the best engines, it provides great graphics and reasonable system requirements. Resident Evil 4 Remake looks great and ran smoothly from start to finish, unlike other games I've played this year like Jedi Survivor and the disaster that was TLOU. Btw RE games are not VRAM hungry unless you let them ultra shadows looks the same as high but use 2-3gb less, 3GB high textures provide high res textures while everything above looks the same even 2GB still looks the same while 1gb starts to pop in and pop out sometimes.

In both the raster and RT the Nvidia requirements were generally 25% higher than the AMD requirements. Which seems about right for the RE engine. It is heavily console optimized.

R5 5600 and i just bought a 6700 for $275 cant wait to play, dragons dogma was so slept on.

[daviddamasceno]

That was a masterpiece of an analisys. I believe there is no reason to worry. Never had any issues with RE engine games even on my 8gb rtx 3070.I don't say this often, but in Capcom I trust.

[Biohazard]

I really like the way you fly around the screen and point to information, especially as a dyslexic person who struggles to focus on text 👍

[yvannenikolainethercott]

If Dragon's Dogma 2 is in RE Engine, this is absolutely good news for me as a 7800xt user. I am currently playing RE4, and even with a bottlenecked GPU, the game looks absolutely phenomenal in max settings, and I am playing at a constant 90 FPS or so in every area so far.

[SilverChoc]

Thanks for mentioning the use of 'Interlacing' (wish they used more accurate wording to describe it but alas), just hope it's been fixed as DF has said that the last few RE engine games have worse TAA and broken reconstruction in the Interlacing mode compared to console.

[telefonbarmann]

The "Interlacing" in RE-Engine games is better known as "Checkerboarding", as you said yourself Daniel, it is a form of upscaling that was super common in PS4 and Xbox One games by the way. Capcom calls it interlacing because they are oldschool like that^^

[lucasfernandesgrotto]

honestly I love Re engine, it is console optimized which means it will run great in general and it has amazing visuals

[TerraWare]

I recall playing a little bit of Dragons Dogma back in the Xbox 360 I think but I've heard so many good things. I ended up buying it a cheap sale earlier today so I can play it on my new Deck OLED coming in a couple of days.

[KryptixIII]

the R5 3600x and 6700/2080 is spot on for PS5's specs

[garethsmith]

I just love your channel so much. Its become my go to now for specs regarding games. this and digital foundry are the best.

[El_Cattivo]

At least they specify the resolution and the FPS, which is significantly more than most of the other requirements. You can always guess what will be achieved with it.

[JasonChen]

Love Dragon's Dogma, definitely gonna play the sequel.

[TheMaerx]

The game is gonna run fine, those are the requirements without post release optimization patches, Nvidia/AMD drivers nor FSR (RE engine games enjoy a great implementation). Also the RX 6700 is more or less the equivalent to a PS5, so those system requirements are probably to give people a general baseline for console equivalent experience. Anyone with a more powerful PC is going to have a ball maxing out everything at 4K with Ray Tracing, in fact I'm certain Dragon's Dogma 2 is going to be a regular in future GPU benchmarks.

[malikcrim]

I think this is the first game I've seen where my 10400 doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

[nathanepp]

I've never played the first Dragon's Dogma I keep hearing that's it's an amazing game so i actually looked it up on steam and realized it was on sale so I just bought it on sale for $7 I'm looking forward to experiencing this game for the first time and looking forward to playing the second one for when it comes out I'm pretty sure my PC specs will run this game just fine I'm running a Ryzen 9 5950x with a Sapphire PULSE RX 6800 XT 16GB card with a Samsung 990 pro M.2 SSD Drive I appreciate these video's you make I always look forward to watching your content so please don't stop

[marktackman]

Your analysis is spot on, love how you tied it together at the end.

[anasqarni]

This guy is amazing at what he doing thanks Daniel
