Capcom has released a benchmark tool for the upcoming RE5 PC version, you can download it at the N-Zone website:

http://download.nvidia.com/downloads/nZone/demos/nzd_ResidentEvil5_Benchmark.exe (600 MB!)

It was also announced that the game will include new costumes for Chris and Sheva and a new mercenaries mode with 3x enemies

Here's Chris:

I ran it here and it's obviously more demanding than SFIV. I thought it was interesting that the cutscenes were laggier than the gameplay demo. Also, the two are extremely dumb and Chris consistently forgets to look behind him lol. I have an 8600GT with 256 MB, tried with 1680x1050, and even with the settings on medium I couldn't get more than 30 FPS. The average was in the low 20's and the tool gave me a C. However, it didn't seem to hurt the experience a lot. I'll check lower resolutions later.

here the screen u linked to:



Does the PC version really look that bad?

And whats this bench tool? Is it playable demo or just a drive/fly through?

When I ran through at (near) max settings it looked amazing! And it's simulated gameplay (like watching your buddy play it), so it's about as close to what to expect as possible.
