1 GB GPU memory especially , why RE Engine is so demanding I Can't run RE7 beginning hour demo and this one ,,I think the engine is not much different than Fox Engiine on MGS V I can still play just fine

RE engine seems to rely on destructability of enemies and environment. Especially enemies.

With a 1 GB GPU, your PC is having a hard time even starting the game. This new engine (RE7, RE2 remake) is more powerful than Fox engine (at least visually). The Fox engine is very well optimized for what it can do. A big part of the new RE engine is lighting/shadows, and these are big factors. It might appear that MGS5, or that version of Fox engine is similar, but the new Resident Evil engine is more powerful. You are going above your current PCs capabilities, mostly the 1 GB GPU (not sure what the other specs are).

Basically, you probably need a new PC to play this game, even on low/medium settings :P

Hey, if you are able to play it on PS4, do it! :D

The experience/graphics are basically the same. It will cost you a few hundred dollars easily to play this one on PC.

With a 1 GB GPU I wouldn't even try. I'm playing it on a 2GB GPU and its barely playable.

MGSV is 2014-15 and to be honest the game was made with PS3/360 in mind, the PS4/X1/PC versions are really just glorified remasters. There's no comparison here.

The Fox engine was made to work on last-gen consoles with 0,5 gb of total memory and is pretty old by now. RE engine requires more than 8gb of VRAM for 1080p maxed out. You really need to buy a new GPU at this point. Every new game from last 2 years or so requires at least 2 gb VRAM to run smooth.
