Hardware tests with PRAGMATA Reviews are already available on various portals around the world, and the results show a relatively accessible game in 1080p without ray tracing, but one that requires slightly more powerful hardware when advanced lighting comes into play, as demonstrated by... TechPowerUpFortunately, BenchmarKing indicates that the game does not exhibit stuttering issues due to shader compilation or traversal, with stable frametimes even in more demanding sections.
Pragmata System Requirements on PC
Before we delve into the benchmarks, it's worth checking out what... Capcom It officially indicates that you should run the game below.

| Storage | 40 GB (SSD recommended) | 40 GB (SSD recommended) |
| Expected performance | 1080p / 45 FPS in preset Performance | 1080p / 60 FPS on Balanced preset |
It's worth remembering that although the official requirements for any game help give an idea of how it will run on different hardware profiles, this is simplified information and doesn't always accurately represent the final experience. Therefore, it's important to look at real-world tests, such as the benchmarks below.
Pragmata in 1080p: which GPU do you need?
In 1080p with maximum settings and without ray tracingThe game runs well on most current hardware. RTX 3060 12GB which is one of the most popular graphics cards in mid-range setups here in Brazil, delivers an average of 71,3 FPS, while the RTX 4060 8GB It reaches 84,4 FPS, both above 60 FPS to run without lag.
Who has one RTX 3070 (98,5 FPS) or equivalent already easily surpasses 100 FPS. Here, the most unusual case is the Bow A770, with only 36,5 FPS, an isolated result compared to the rest of the tested set.
With active ray tracingThe situation changes. RTX 3060 12GB It drops to 57,0 FPS, below 60. A RTX 4060 8GB It runs at a stable 67,4 FPS, enough to play with ray tracing without major issues. RX 9060 XT 8 GB It delivers 92,7 FPS, a competitive result for its price segment.
One striking piece of data is the tie between RX 9070 XT e RTX 4080, which score 160,5 and 162,0 FPS, respectively, in 1080p RT, despite occupying different price ranges in the market.
A Bow A770 The game completely freezes with ray tracing enabled. This behavior repeats itself across all tested resolutions, pointing to a compatibility issue with the Intel architecture in this title. It's also worth noting that these tests were performed with all settings at maximum.
Pragmata in 1440p and 4K
The resolution Full HD (1080p) It's still the most popular one here. BrazilHowever, it's still worth commenting on the tests performed at higher resolutions.
Em 1440p with ray tracingFor example, the game becomes much more demanding. A RTX 4060 8GB it drops to 48,0 FPS and the RTX 3060 12GB to 41,1 FPS, both outside the 60 FPS range without adjustments to the settings for better optimization. The 60 FPS threshold This resolution revolves around RTX 3070, which registers an average of 61,8 FPS in tests.
Furthermore, the dispute between RX 9070 XT (119,3 FPS) and RTX 4080 (121,4 FPS) remains close. A Bow A770 It closes the table with 25,7 FPS, the worst result among the cards that completed the test at that resolution.
Em 4K with ray tracingThe game is already extremely demanding, even more so considering that the tests are being done without upscaling and with all settings at maximum.
In that scenario, the RTX 4080 delivers an average of 69,4 FPS, while the RTX 4090 It reaches 89,8 FPS. To play in 4K with ray tracing and without resorting to any upscaling, the hardware needs to be in the higher end of the graphics range. RX 9070 XT It keeps up closely, with 67,0 FPS.
It's also worth remembering that GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM They start to suffer more at high resolutions with ray tracing enabled, especially at 1440p and 4K. We'll talk more about VRAM in the next part of the news, with optimized settings.
Ray tracing or path tracing: which impacts performance more?
Traditional ray tracing already comes at a considerable cost on GPUs, with a noticeable FPS drop, but most mid-range and higher-end cards still remain playable, especially at 1080p.
Already path tracing This represents a much greater requirement and, in the case of Pragmata, It works exclusively on NVIDIA GPUs..
All path tracing numbers in the tests conducted by TechPowerUp already include... Active DLSS QualityIn other words, the game is being rendered internally at a lower resolution and scaled up to the final resolution. The native FPS with path tracing at native resolutions would be considerably lower than the values shown.
Even with DLSS Quality enabled, the variation between the boards is significant. RTX 4090 It delivers 114 FPS in 1080p with PT, while the RTX 3080 It stays at 50 FPS. A RTX 5060 Ti 8GB It appears with 71 FPS, a result above expectations for this segment. At 1440p, the RTX 5090 delivers 105 FPS and a RTX 4090 The rating is 81 FPS. In 4K, it even... RTX 5090 It is limited to 62 FPS with path tracing enabled.
Another piece of data that draws attention is that of RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which delivers only 53 FPS in 1080p with path tracing, while the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB It records 71 FPS in the same scene.
The variant with more memory performs worse than the one with less, an unusual behavior that TechPowerUp data records but doesn't directly explain. It's worth monitoring this performance before making any purchase decision based solely on VRAM specifications.
Those who can't play with adequate performance natively have good options. DLSS (NVIDIA) and FSR (AMD and Intel) render the game at a lower resolution and reconstruct the final image with less processing cost, resulting in higher FPS with controlled visual loss.
In addition, the technology of frame generationAvailable on both platforms, this tool generates intermediate frames using artificial intelligence, multiplying the apparent FPS without increasing the frame rendering load.
With this, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB It goes from a native 96 FPS to 113 FPS with DLSS Quality at 1080p and reaches 219 FPS with Frame Generation x4. RTX 5090 In 4K with DLSS Quality and FG x4, it scores 394 FPS.
On the AMD side, the RX 9070 XT At 1440p, it goes from a native 121 FPS to 220 FPS with FSR Quality and Frame Generation. Arc B580 At 1080p, it increases from 69 FPS to 119 FPS with FSR Quality and FG, a significant gain for a card in this price segment.
How to balance performance and quality in Pragmata
Benchmarks show Pragmata running with everything at maximum settings, which is an important feature for comparing different GPUs.
But actually playing the game, testing each option individually and comparing visual loss against performance gain, allows for a more optimized balance of what delivers more performance without significantly affecting visual quality. That's exactly what the channel... BenchmarKing This was done by identifying which settings actually impact performance and VRAM usage, and which can be set to maximum without significant cost.
With optimized settings and Active Ray TracingBenchmarKing recorded a gain of approximately 12% compared to the absolute maximum at 1440p with DLSS Quality. Disabling Ray Tracing increases this gain to about 25%.
as expected, Ray Tracing e path tracing These are the options that weigh most heavily. Pragmata's Ray Tracing affects global illumination and reflections and costs about 13% in performance, but Capcom's implementation prioritizes performance, resulting in visible noise and less accurate shading in open areas. Even so, BenchmarKing recommends keeping it active due to the visual impact on reflective materials and interior scenes.
Path Tracing delivers significantly higher quality, but it is exclusive. NVIDIA and is much heavier on the GPU. The recommendation is to leave it disabled, but if you insist on having the feature, it's worth reducing the option to Quality of Shadows to the minimum.
A Hair Quality This is another point that deserves attention. Pragmata uses strand-based hair simulation, with physics and reaction to lighting, which generates a considerable visual leap compared to what the RE Engine delivered in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
The preset Low Disable this system and revert to the method based on flat polygons. Medium It activates the wires with physics and costs about 14% compared to... Low. While High It increases hair growth by another 19% and improves hair density. BenchmarkKing recommends it. Medium as a point of equilibrium, with Low as an option for those with limited VRAM.
The Shading Cache It's a setting that often goes unnoticed, but it has a direct impact on the cost of... Quality of ShadowsWith it deactivated, go up. Quality of Shadows de Minimum all with Maximum It can cost up to 32%. With it active, that difference drops to around 5%. The recommendation is to keep it always active and use it. Quality of Shadows em Medium ou High.
One detail about upscaling worth mentioning: at native resolution, DLAA results in a smoother and blurrier image than native TAA+FXAA. When using DLSS Quality or higher, sharpness returns to normal. In practice, using DLSS Quality instead of native DLAA can result in a sharper image, in addition to performance gains.
The remaining settings have less impact, but it's worth checking out the full video. Benchmarking See the table below for more details on YouTube and the optimized settings.
VRAM precautions on 8GB GPUs
Hair Quality, Knit Quality, Quality of Shadows, Texture Quality Using Ray Tracing or Path Tracing individually is already a significant memory requirement, and when combined at maximum settings, especially at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K, it can cause abrupt performance drops.
The bug of Texture Quality No. Low This is the most critical point in this regard. It's worth using. Minimum instead of Low to solve the problem without significant visual impact. With Path Tracing enabled, set Quality of Shadows , the Minimum It saves a significant amount of VRAM without altering anything in the rendered image.
Optimized settings for Pragmata
The table below summarizes BenchmarKing's final recommendations for balancing performance and visual quality in Pragmata.
| Asset | Recommendation | Observation |
|---|---|---|
| Ray Tracing | Active | It adds noise, but improves lighting and reflections. |
| path tracing | Disabled | Only if the hardware supports it. |
| Global Lighting Quality | High or Medium | Average releases 5 to 6% of performance. |
| Hair Quality | Medium or Low | Low-cost deactivation of strand-based hair |
| Texture Quality | Average or Minimum | Avoid Download, it's bugged. |
| Texture Filtering | x16 | No performance cost. |
| Mesh Quality | Media | High and Maximum increase VRAM |
| Shade Quality | Medium or High | Minimum with Path Tracing enabled |
| Shadow Cache | Active | Reduces cost of shade quality. |
| Contact Shadows | Active | Situational without Lightning Tracking |
| Effects Quality | High | Reduce if there is a fall in combat. |
| Environmental Occlusion | SSAO | Negligible performance cost |
| Volumetric Lighting | Medium or High | Avoid Maximum |
| Reflections in Screen Space | Active | It adds noise, but RT doesn't cover all objects. |
| Subsurface Dispersion | Active | No performance cost. |
| Depth of Field | Personal preference | No significant impact |
According to BenchMarking's own tests, using optimized settings, One RTX 3060 Ti It can even run above 60fps at 1440p with DLSS in quality mode with Ray TracingIf you don't care about the lighting technology, you can achieve an even greater frame rate of over 70fps.
