The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Resident Evil Requiem is a moderately demanding game.

Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 57 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 32 FPS at 4K. Resident Evil Requiem offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (laptop, 6GB) 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.
