Hows the Performance compared to the Demo?

[Puppers]

Huge fan of the original RE4.
Was stoked when I saw they were doing a remake. I played the Chainsaw Demo when it first released but it unfortunately didn't run so hot on my hardware. (It's a good 'ol workhorse, but it's showing its age: i7-4790K and GTX 980ti SC)

Was wondering if the general performance of the full game is comparable/better/worse than the demo. I'd hate to experience this masterpiece on hardware that can't run it at an enjoyable framerate.

performance gets heavier in middle of gameplay because its a lot of stuff happening at the same time.

bro your hardware is ancient

Can't speak for the demo vs main game, but I have a 4770 and 1060 6GB and I got around 40-45fps in the very start at 1080p and medium-high settings.
Lowering it to low-med and using the upscaler (quality/balanced/perf all run roughly the same) I was locked to 60, with GPU performance to spare. Throughout the game I still had drops below 60, like the initial village assault where it'd drop to the lower 50s, due to the CPU/RAM not being good enough anymore. Overall though, I'd get a locked 60. The upscaler is kind of ugly if you pay attention to the image, especially in screenshots you take it's very obvious, but if you're not deliberately looking for it, it's okay.

Your video card is way below recommended i don't see this running on that card.

the demo runs and looks worse than the release unless they patch it

Played on RTX 3060Ti, I5 9600K, 16gb RAM in 1080p, TAA, high(3GB) textures, high shadows, max mesh and it was smooth from start to finish 60fps, no stutters, crashes or fps drops.

Demo runs worse than the retail version.

8gb ram, 4gb vram rtx3050 here. On low setting.

4gb vram I felt to be the borderline between playable and unplayable. Frame drop at certain area, stutter but far less often probably due to it being rtx. If you want steady 60 frames everywhere, 6gb vram is the recommendation. 12gb for medium 2440p, 16gb for high 2440p, 20~24gb for ultra 4k.

Ran good on my highly outdated hardware. Outdated compared to today's standards.

How can that be? I though Denuvo makes performance 50% worse?

Denuvo may have a negative impact on CPU-intensive games it depends how well implementation is and how engine react to Denuvo. Resident Evil 4 (and other RE games) is very light on CPU, and the full game has received optimization improvements but demo hasn't been updated.
