Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil is one of the longest spanning video game series. The popularity of this series can be judged from the release of three Hollywood movies, comics, novels and 25 games in the series spanning a variety of platforms. We are testing the latest game in this series to grace the PC platform. The PC version has some new content compared to the console versions including, “new costumes and a new and improved mercenary’s mode with three times as many enemies.” This game features support for Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision glasses. According to Capcom, RE5 will also be the first PC game to include support for “Stereoscopic 3D in all of its cut scenes.”

A 3D Vision Benchmark has been made available at nzone website for those of you looking to try out 3D Vision without buying the game. You can still run the benchmark even if you don’t have Nvidia’s 3D Vision Hardware, but you won’t be able to enjoy the 3D Vision effects. We are using this benchmark to test our hardware.

The overclocked HD 5670 continues it’s good form here, beating out the HD 4770 for third time in a row. The GT 240 takes a significant beating from the stock HD 5670, lagging behind by about 10 FPS on average.
