game just does not run well

[david]

hi, i tried everything--i downloaded new drivers, restarted my computer, played on lowest graphic settings but it's still unplayable. i get that since im on laptop it wont run smooth as butter on high settings but even at the lowest, i can't even walk on the starting path without unbearable stutters and 12fps.

my specs:
Processor:
Intel Core i5-10500H
12 threads - 0 GHz
Graphics Card:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
4 GB VRAM
Memory:
24 GB RAM

4gb vram on the gpu will get eaten up by almost anything in recent AAA titles, textures on RE4 uses alot of vram, which with a 4gb buffer off the get go, I assume that's where the issue is, There isn't a whole lot you can do if you've already turned everything to a minimum, i think re4 can use as much as 12gb+ vram on high enough settings so.

I made a test build using an old Dell Optiplex 3040, 16 GB of RAM, and an RX 6400. With the default i3, I could run the game on low settings at around 30 FPS on Linux using and Proton Experimental. On chapter 5 (the rain level) it drops to around 25 FPS.

I ordered an i5 and will test that out when it arrives as well.

Also, it works without an issue on my main PC, and on my laptop. Both have 16 GB of system memory.

All 3 were tested at 1080p. Chapter 5 is the real challenge. Also, if your game doesn't preload the shaders (my Nvidia cards don't, but the RX6400 Dell did), the game is will be slow and low FPS for around 15 minutes or so after every update or after each install. It is super annoying, but once it has the shaders cached, your FPS should increase.

thank you, my computer doesnt even support external gpu so i might end up just waiting until i can afford a better one

That's why you never buy laptops for gaming. While my used rx 5700 xt that i've got last week works perfectly fine 99% of the time (1% of the time is where my game slows down to 30-40fps for some reason till i leave that are or restart the game)

Not even the best version, its the laptop version so its probably toned down etc

his laptop will play like 90 percent plus games fine out there, but hes playing a new big game like re 4 so.

the game is heavy utilisation on vram, almost anything you tweak has pretty sizeable impacts, if your gpu has a pretty low vram buffer, you're gonna have to stick to bare minimums, and if your cpu can't handle it either, you're probably at a loss.

lower the resolution and lower every setting until it is under your 4gb gddr5 limit. take off unncessary effects and game should run ok. Try overclocking the card.

Got the i5 and have it running at like 50 fps in chapter 5 (low settings) on that Optiplex test build on Linux Mint.

just so you know i also couldnt get the start to run perfectly on my 2060 super. it seemed to always want to stay around 50 but the rest of the game runs better

4 GB VRAM isnt gonna get you far, I'd recommend refunding the game.

This game even runs pretty well on Steam Deck. What i found to be a problem was the lighting that was inconsistent and bad. And of course the actual game content too.

i played this game on highest settings with 3060, no problem, you should check if your pc run RE4 with his normal graphic card instead of the dedicated (your 3050), this could be the problem, so check it and if it is the problem (and i think could be that) just switch the graphic card that will run your game when you open it
