Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour – 4K Screenshots

Capcom has released the PC demo for Resident Evil 7 and below you can find some 4K screenshots from it. The PC demo of Resident Evil 7 looks and runs great. Capcom has implemented numerous graphics settings to tweak, and given its slow-paced nature, the game is playable (20-30fps) in 4K even on a single GTX980Ti.

Below you can find some 4K screenshots from Resident Evil 7’s maxed out PC version. While the Interlaced Rendering mode comes with a significant performance boost (as it’s basically reconstructing the image), we’ve chosen the Normal mode in order to capture true 4K images.

Resident Evil 7 releases next month, and from the looks of it, the PC version will be a really polished product.

Enjoy!

  1. 1440p maxed out settings, turned off CA and motion blur and was getting 130-155fps. Im very satisfied with the performance of this demo. Hoping the real game doesnt differ.

    1. What’s your system specs? I got 40-70 fps with a 4790k (stock), GTX 1080 and 16GB of DDR3 at the same settings using SMAA.

      1. are you using hbao+ or have resolution scaling to like 2? hbao+ is crap and you dont need to crank your resolution scaling past native which is 1. if you use ssao and 1, you should have a higher fps than me. Im using a 4790k @ 4.8, 980ti classified @1485 and 32gb 2133 ddr3 ram

        1. Nah, res scaling was just at 1 but I did use HBAO+. It’s pretty well optimized in most games these days, but maybe that was it.

          1. I am using hbao+ and the performance hit is very low. Plus playing a game without AO is now unnsceptable for me.

  2. I dont understand why would you want to have photorealism to display a swamp redneck cabin with rotten food and mold everywhere.

      1. Oh yes i was really immersed at the turd stains everywhere, might as well get a dead bird and put it in front your nose while playing this in vr.

          1. Am not trolling dipsht, Compare this with doom, compare this with deus ex, compare this with shadow warrior. Compare this with the resident evil remaster. It is a boring brown and grey mess.

          2. Because your are the only person this game is intended to ? You don’t like it. Cool. MOVE ON. It’s okay to state your opinion in here but debating your taste in video games is pointless.

          3. You know this brown and grey thingy? When bf3 came out it was a blue thingy, this game is too brown. Look at fallout 3 it is too green; Is it not a good thing fallout 4 had color? When those things happened i was like “meh dont care but i kept seeing people complaining about it. Now i get it, hd graphics dont make the visuals better. No matter how good graphics you have if your environments are ugly if what you are rendering is stale, it is not interesting to explore.

          4. I understand that point. I guess it’s a design decision and it is normal for some to dislike and others to like. But i agree it is very brown/dark/grey. It didn’t bother me when i played the teaser though. But i see where you come from.

    1. “This looks bad”
      Yeah it looks bad but not because of the graphics, i mean if those graphics are “bad” then what looks “good”?

  3. Hey we finally have photoreallistic graphics, lets use them to see the turd stains on a toilet. Gives the” brown and grey” a whole new meaning.

    1. Bro I just don’t understand what you’re complaining about. Should the game have had worse graphics due to its grotesque setting and atmosphere?

      1. No more colorful graphics and use that technology to show off something good rather this brown and grey mess. Eg the resident evil remaster is visually more appealing than this decaying brown cabin.

        1. At first I thought that what you were saying was maybe something similar to the “Uncanny Valley” effect, or a simple distaste for a unappealing art style.

          But then “it shouldn’t be realistic” when the setting can benefit from that still doesn’t make sense to me.

          Also, RE4 did something similar so… you lost me, I don’t get what you’re getting at.

          1. You know this brown and grey thingy? When bf3 came out it was a blue thingy, this game is too brown. Look at fallout 3 it is too green; Is it not a good thing fallout 4 had color?

          2. Yeah, but we’ve only seen one part of the game, and besides, at least there is cohesion in this current setting.

          1. I complain when it makes sense. And to be honest I’ve stopped complaining because I can correct it myself using Reshade.

  4. It’s going for that RE remaster photorealistic look… .but it looks off and questionable here… ..doesn’t belong. They should have chosen some art direction for the textures than just making it look real. I would have personally gone for the Silent Hill 2 and 3 look.

    1. With all those post processing filters in place, I am guessing you could barely tell if you lowered resolution down, as I found the image blurred to hell with them all in place.

      1. thats the AA doing that. however the game also has gross blur, depth of field, film grain and more adding to the mess.

        1. Yup, it’s hideous frankly. Very cinematic, but when I am sat next to a monitor it made my eyes feel like they were straining to focus on it.

  5. I’ve never seen a more extreme example of Nvidia HBO+ GimpWorks in action on my 1070.
    At 1440p with everything else maxed out and HBO I get 112-117fps and with HBO+ it’s 59 -67
    Around 55fps performance hit for HBO+, that has to be a world record considering it’s about 10fps in all other games

    1. I dont even get option for HBAO, only SSAO or HBAO+.

      Im not really sure why this game is so demanding even maxed out. Compare it to Bf1 or Doom and it’s not as impressive visually from what I saw, but seem to run worse. I cant understand why 4k 60fps shouldn’t be achievable on a 1070.

      However, with all those post processing filters in place, I doubt you could tell if you lowered resolution down tbh.

      Not my kinda game, so not an issue for me. Was thoroughly bored during demo.

      1. My bad, you’re right, the lower ambient occlusion setting is SSAO, still that performance hit difference is like nothing I’ve ever seen.

        1. That is some pretty insane performance drops if youre right. Wonder what is causing the issues, as in AC Syndicate the difference between no AO and HBAO+ ultra is only about 5fps.

          Crapcom strikes again?
