What are the PC requirements for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7’s raytracing update? Answered

Resident Evil 2 Remake, 3 Remake, and 7 just got current-gen console upgrades, but the PC crowd hasn’t been left out. All the graphical and performance upgrades on consoles are also available in the PC version of the games. Additionally, they now support raytracing on PC.

With all these bells and whistles come new requirements. Have a look below to see the new minimum and recommended specs for all three games. Note that these requirements are higher than what the games originally demanded. That said, earlier versions are also available if your machine can’t handle the changes. To switch back, right click the game in your Steam library, then choose properties. Select betas and click on the version labeled “dx11_non-rt.” Once that installs, you’ll be able to play the games in their previous forms.
