Resident Evil Village is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. The sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017), players control Ethan Winters, who is searching for his kidnapped daughter; after a fateful encounter with Chris Redfield, he finds himself in a village filled with mutant creatures. The game was announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event in June 2020 and was released on May 7, 2021, for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia. (Wikipedia).

Engine: RE Engine. We test using the Max preset, with V-Sync disabled, DX12 API.

It’s more of the same in Resident Evil Village, where the RX 580 is actually faster than the 6500 XT out of the gate, with performance also on par with the 1650 Super. Tested with PCIe Gen3 however, performance drops to below even the GTX 1060, and it isn’t much ahead of the GTX 1650 at all.
