Performance with MetalFX
MetalFX renders Resident Evil 4 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image: you gain FPS for a little sharpness. Figures on High with 16 GB.
| Resolution | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 49FPS | 61FPS | 73FPS | 81FPS |
| 1440p | 31FPS | 38FPS | 46FPS | 52FPS |
| 4K | 16FPS | 20FPS | 24FPS | 27FPS |
All figures are without ray tracing. The real MetalFX gain varies by game and version.
