On the one hand, it's great that this option exists for enterprising users, but it's a real shame that Capcom's own developers couldn't implement an upscaler of sufficient quality themselves.
There are still some issues here common to modded-in upscalers, such as occasional jittering or smearing of HUD elements or odd-looking specular highlights, but it still puts the built-in upscaling options to shame. Using the brilliant REFramework mod developed by praydog, you can inject DLSS or XeSS to improve the visuals substantially. This isn't the first Capcom game to face these sorts of aliasing and over-sharpening issues on PC, and so there is a community solution to the problem.
Here's the full DF video review of the Resi 4 remake on PC, warts and all. FSR1 is available too, but it's even worse, as it compounds the image quality issues by sharpening and upscaling an already oversharpened and poorly aliased image. We'd only really recommend it at 4K, where the base resolution is sufficient to produce a reasonable result. The presentation with FSR2 enabled is overly soft, shimmery and some areas are visibly aliased. Normally we'd look to the likes of DLSS, XeSS or FSR2 to solve these problems, but while FSR2 is available it doesn't look right. Even with a static camera, you'll notice that vegetation crawls, edges shimmer incessantly and the whole scene has a posterised look. This is key as the game's temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) unfortunately doesn't produce great results, while an enforced sharpening filter tends to degrade the image further. Let's start with the most important setting first: image upscaling. With that in mind, we'll focus our analysis on the optimised settings that'll help you get the most out of the game. That means you can expect better-than-console performance and image quality, but there are still improvements for Capcom to make - and serious bugs you'll want to avoid. The full release of the Resident Evil 4 remake has landed on PC, bringing nearly the exact same performance and graphical characteristics as the demo - for good and for ill.
