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.

Frame rates are once more sky-high in Resident Evil Village, as the RTX 4080 is not far off hitting 300FPS on average at 1440p. It's 21% faster than the 3090 Ti here too, which is one of the better results.

At 4K we still get about 160FPS on average, though it falls off again versus the 4090, as it is now 29% slower. Against the 3090 Ti, the 4080 comes in 19% faster at this higher resolution.
