The Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark Program

Photobucket

The Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark program has gone live, I'm sure SF4 fans who want to play this game on PC dying to know whether their PC really up to d level to handle this game. No fear, before you invest your hard earned money into this blockbuster title, get this program to have a test drive on your PC.

Click this link to download the benchmarking software. Although it is a Japanese site, just scroll down until you see a big rectangle buttons with the first one stated the file size "396 MB (416,215,084 バイト)"; others are mirrors. Unzip it and install, then it will do the job.

I tested on my PC at home, I did run a few test in slightly different setting, the following are the results:

Conclusion:
Base on what I have (PC spec), without sacrificing most of the graphic setting and maintain the gaming performance, tweaking the Anti-Aliasing and V-sync are the only options I have. But even without AA, it is still acceptable due to the graphic quality is much more higher than console version. At least it is fine for me.
