Best Resident Evil 4 (Remake) settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Resident Evil 4 (Remake) runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 3GB of VRAM, and Resident Evil 4 (Remake) is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 49 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 28 FPS at 4K. Resident Evil 4 (Remake) offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
