About 22 FPS at 1080p on High: Resident Evil Village runs natively on the iMac M1 (Apple M1, 7-core GPU, 8 GB). That is on the edge, but it is playable with lower settings. For 30 FPS, use 1080p Low (about 32 FPS).

Moving to 1440p High puts the iMac M1 at about 14 FPS. MetalFX renders at a lower resolution and upscales, so it is the cheapest way to play at the display’s native resolution.

FAQ

Can the 8 GB iMac M1 run Resident Evil Village?

Yes. With 8 GB we estimate 22 FPS at 1080p High.

Can Resident Evil Village hit 60 FPS on the iMac M1?

Not consistently. For 30 FPS, use 1080p Low (about 32 FPS).

What about 1440p and 4K?

On High, the iMac M1 gets about 14 FPS at 1440p and about 7 FPS at 4K in Resident Evil Village. These are native figures: MetalFX raises both noticeably.

Do these figures include MetalFX or ray tracing?

No. The headline figure is native resolution, no MetalFX and no ray tracing. The table below shows MetalFX turned on. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.
