The Resident Evil 4 Remake is a visually very intensive Game, and it does require a lot of optimizations, but that being said, it runs well when you tone down the settings. On a lot of occasions, we found that the mouse movement is also quite slow, making the game a little slow paces. And in some circumstances, it stutters a bit, especially when you are cranked high.
We know that games nowadays have many issues during their release period and later get fixed as time progresses. But having problems like this ruins the first experience of the player. The good thing is, the game has a Free Demo available for you to try out as well. While we were writing this article, the devs had not released any patches specifically for this game.
With that being said, you can try the game on GPUs like GTX 1050Ti, GTX 1650, or GTX 1060, just not on the highest settings. You will have to tone down the settings quite a bit.
