MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X PLUS Review - DX11: Resident Evil 7

DX11: Resident Evil 7

The game is set in 2017, approximately 4 years after the events of Resident Evil 6 in the fictional city of Dulvey, Louisiana. It features a new protagonist named Ethan Winters, a civilian who offers fewer combat skills than most previous Resident Evil protagonists. Ethan is searching for his missing wife, Mia, which leads him to a derelict plantation mansion, home of the Baker family.

The game offers PC optimized settings like HDR, your typical v-sync turned on or off, HBAO+ / SSAO support and much more. You can choose Anti-aliasing options albeit limited: FXAA + TAA. In the settings segment you'll find configuration options like Texture quality. We will test with the settings maxed out and HBAO+ and FXAA + TAA. HBAO+ has been enabled as this option is available to both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards. For 4 GB of VRAM graphicas cards we found out that one problematic setting is Shadow cache. If you have an up-to 4 GB graphics card, please turn off Shadow cache.
