Resident Evil 4 DRM REMOVED | Performance Comparison (Denuvo vs Enigma vs No-DRM)

Описание: In the latest patch for Resident Evil 4 Remake (released on 3 March 2026), Capcom removed the third-party DRM after widespread criticism and community feedback. This update replaces the original protections with a DRM-free build, and in this video I put it to the test against the original Denuvo version and the previous build using The Enigma Protector.

SteamDB showing the DRM removal: https://steamdb.info/app/2050650/hist...

I run a side-by-side performance comparison on the same hardware with the same settings, highlighting the real impact of these changes. The most noticeable improvements are in reduced RAM and VRAM usage, as well as a lower overall CPU load. These changes should benefit older or lower-end systems and handheld PCs, but even on high-end setups like mine you can see clear gains.

Watch the benchmarks and let me know what you think in the comments.
Full system test setup down below, cheers!
