Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 does not feature an official PS5 Pro Enhanced patch, but standard PS5 Pro Game Boost provides substantial performance upgrades across both available modes. On standard PS5, the Ray Tracing mode targets 60fps but frequently drops into the 30s during heavy load, while the 120Hz high frame rate mode fluctuates between 90fps and 120fps. On PS5 Pro, the Ray Tracing mode maintains 60fps for roughly 99% of gameplay with occasional dips to 48fps (within the VRR window), while the 120Hz mode achieves an almost flawless 120fps lock.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
Without an official PS5 Pro patch, Resident Evil 3 uses unpatched Game Boost power to fix base hardware frame-rate issues. Ray Tracing mode holds 60fps 99% of the time with minimal drops to 48fps, while 120Hz mode delivers a virtually locked 120fps experience.
Resident Evil 3 does not receive a dedicated PS5 Pro patch or PSSR support, but standard Game Boost raw GPU power fixes base PS5 performance deficits.

Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
Even without a bespoke PS5 Pro Enhanced update or PSSR, PS5 Pro's Game Boost capability resolves the performance bottlenecks of Resident Evil 3 on base PS5. Ray Tracing mode elevates low 35fps drops to near-locked 60fps, while the 120Hz high frame rate mode moves from a variable 90-120fps to an almost locked 120fps.
