Resident Evil 5 System Requirements

These have now been announced - clickie

Should run nicely on my PC and other gamer PCs. But looks like the recommended GPUs are increasing now.

Obviously you can check the 3d benchmark as a quick test to see how it might perform.

you not seen the test demo?

Yeah the Recommended Requirements for the GPUs are a bit steep now, but looking at some people's benchmark results in the previous thread, quite a few still managed to get decent performance with hardware on the previous generation before.

Still, just as long as you can run with decent graphics settings, a decent resolution and get over 30FPS, you'd still beat the 360 & PS3 versions easily. Though in my own case, I wouldn't mind sticking to the 30FPS limit due to motion sickness I get from watching the benchmark program.

Yes I have. But I am quoting on what has been released.

I dont see why a Quad core is recommended TBH......

I get a 'minimum' 60fps with my 550 dual core and 4850 with that benchmark demo...

Extra performance or efficiency seeing as the game, and Capcom's previous releases like Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 were optimised for multi-core CPUs. And a hell of a good job too thanks to their MT Framework engine the games are based upon.

Capcom do seem to be the one of the only developers who do make proper use of quads/multicores for games.

doesn't sound 'steep'

9800 = 8800gt upwards

I'm just used to seeing 8800GT as the recommended. I dont tend to check the system requirements now.
