What’s up, fam bam—this stream was basically two things at once: a Resident Evil: Requiem let’s play and a real-world RTX 5090 stress test with everything cranked. I’m running the game on my ASUS ROG Crosshair X870 Hero + Ryzen 9800X3D rig with 48GB DDR5-6000 CL30 and a 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe. I walked through the in-game graphics menu so you can see exactly what I’m using: 1440p, max settings, path tracing on, DLSS set to Balanced (and I can push it higher if you want), plus NVIDIA Reflex for low latency. The big takeaway: this game is straight eye candy—lighting, reflections, particles, hair strands, all of it—and path tracing hits hard. Even at only ~8% GPU usage in cutscenes, the 5090 can still pull around 600W, and in gameplay I was seeing temps climb into the low-to-mid 80s °C while VRAM sat around 15–16GB at 1440p with path tracing. I also talked about why I’m still on older (February) drivers—I wait for truly stable releases instead of rushing hotfixes—and I confirmed what I’ve been saying: keyboard + mouse aiming feels way better than controller in this one. And yeah, I’m still impressed this game can run surprisingly well even on weaker hardware and handheld setups like the ROG Ally-style devices.
