Resident Evil Village will officially support Ray Tracing on PC, first PC footage

During the third episode of “Where Gaming Begins”, AMD announced that Resident Evil Village will feature Ray Tracing and FidelityFX on PC. In addition, the red team revealed the first PC gameplay footage, showing some ray-traced scenes from it.

Although AMD did not reveal any additional details, we can see that Capcom will be using Ray Tracing in order to enhance the game’s reflections and lighting.

Now, since this will be an AMD-powered game, we can safely assume that it won’t support DLSS 2.0. That’s unfortunate as DLSS can significantly improve performance without reducing the overall image quality of a game.

Resident Evil Village is coming to PC on May 7th.

Enjoy (PC footage starts at 9:42)!

  1. As usual the difference is barely noticeable. And that’s from having the game side by side. Not worth the trade off in frames for that.

    1. It will probably be worth in it in RE engine. I mean I could get like 200 + fps in RE3 I would be happy to lose even like 70 fps if the game could look better if it was still in the above 100 fps sweet spot.

    2. Are you blind? The floor literally reflects everything in the game world with RT on, and just a few select things with it off.

  2. This is what I have been saying all along but people did not believe me – the reason why DmC Definitive Edition with ray tracing is not coming to PC anytime soon is because of the partnership with AMD and the fact that the current implementation in DmC does not favor AMD cards.

          1. Reflections is certain, the PS5 demo has them but it much more limited use and at lower resolution.

            The video also shows a change in ambient occlusion.

    1. It is such a shame! On my side I have the chance to be IT technician and I can have some model with our suppliers with 4 weeks ETA @ normal price!

  3. 480$ amd go to sleep , Nvidia selling the 3060 for 330$

    When both get back down to normal pricing, the 3060 is gonna whoop the 6700XT’s A$$
