About
Resident Evil (1996) is a landmark survival horror title that pioneered the genre on consoles and PC. Players control members of the S.T.A.R.S special forces unit as they navigate a mysterious mansion filled with zombies and grotesque mutants, uncovering a sinister conspiracy. The game's distinctive visual style blends polygonal 3D character models over pre-rendered 2D backgrounds, creating an atmospheric experience that still holds up today.
Running Resident Evil is accessible on modern hardware, making it an excellent benchmark for entry-level systems. You'll need at minimum an entry-level GPU with a score around 1202, a CPU score of approximately 855, and 2 GB of RAM to meet the baseline requirements. Even on modest GPUs, you can expect excellent FPS performance with maxed graphics settings, making this an ideal title for testing older or budget-oriented graphics cards during PC performance testing.
With an 78/100 rating and its status as a survival horror classic, Resident Evil remains worth playing for genre enthusiasts and retro gaming fans. The game's historical significance as a franchise-launcher makes it essential for anyone interested in horror gaming's evolution.
Performance profile
Released in March 1996, Resident Evil predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.
Resident Evil is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Extremely light — Resident Evil runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
On July 24, 1998, when a series of bizarre murders occur on the outskirts of the Midwestern town of Raccoon City, the Raccoon City Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. team are assigned to investigate. After contact with Bravo Team is lost, Alpha Team is sent to investigate their disappearance. Alpha Team locates Bravo Team's crashed helicopter and land at the site, where they are suddenly attacked by a pack of monstrous dogs, killing one of the team's members. After Alpha Team's helicopter pilot, Brad Vickers, panics and takes off alone, the remaining members of the team (Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker and Barry Burton) are forced to seek refuge in a nearby abandoned mansion. It soon becomes very clear that it isn't just any mansion, but a hellish place where the undead walk the corridors and other horrors are lurking in the darkness, waiting to eat some heads.
