Resident Evil 5 is a survival horror third-person shooter developed and published by Capcom that has become the best selling single title in the series. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil series and it was released for Windows in September 2009. Resident Evil 5 revolves around two investigators pulled into a bio-terrorist threat in a fictional town in Africa.
Resident Evil 5 features online co-op play over the internet and also takes advantage of Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology. The PC version comes with exclusive content the consoles do not have. The developer’s emphasis is in optimizing high frame rates but they have implemented HDR, tone mapping, depth of field and motion blur into the game.

Here it is at 1920×1200 and 1680×1050 resolutions with maxed out in-game setting plus 8xAA:
The GTX 550 Ti sits between the two HD 6770s performance-wise. Look ahead to see how CrossFired HD 6770s manage this game. There were issues with Eyefinity and the RE 5 menu.
