Best Resident Evil Requiem settings for the Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (2026)

On a Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Resident Evil Requiem runs at roughly 40 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 18FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Iris Xe (96EU — 11th/12th Gen laptop) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Resident Evil Requiem is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 40 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 40 FPS at 1080p and 24 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 14 FPS at 4K.
