Best Resident Evil 4 (Remake) settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Resident Evil 4 (Remake) runs at roughly 73 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB 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 73 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 73 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 42 FPS at 4K. Resident Evil 4 (Remake) offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 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.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	55	73
1440p	33	60
4K	19	42

💡 Resident Evil 4 (Remake): VRAM-hungry - on 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Max.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS

Resident Evil 4 (RE Engine) ships with FSR; DLSS is available via mods. A free FPS boost - enable it first.

Ray TracingOffsaves FPS

Ray-traced reflections and lighting. A real cost for a subtle gain - keep Off for high FPS.

Texture QualityMax-1% FPS

RE4 is famously VRAM-hungry - the menu shows an estimate. On 8GB cards keep textures at High, not Max, to avoid stutter.

Shadow QualityHighbaseline

Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Max.

Mesh QualityHighbaseline

Geometry detail on characters and the environment. High looks great; Medium for frames.

Volumetric LightingMediumbaseline

Atmospheric light shafts and fog - a real cost in the gloomy village. Medium is a clean trade.

Screen Space ReflectionsOnbaseline

Reflections on wet floors and water. A small saving when off.

Ambient OcclusionSSAObaseline

Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is a cheap, good-looking option.

Subsurface ScatteringOnbaseline

Realistic light through skin and flesh. Cheap; leave On for the gory close-ups.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
