» Capcom announces ship date for Resident Evil 5 PC; 3D benchmark

Bunch of Capcom news in my inbox this morning. Most relevant for PC gamers though is news that Resident Evil 5 for PC will be released September 15th. Here's the PR:
Capcom is pleased to announce that Resident Evil 5 for the PC will release on September 15, 2009 in North America and September 18 th in Europe. PC gamers will get the ultimate Resident Evil package in the new PC version as new features will include NVIDIA®’s new GeForce® 3D Vision technology (wireless 3D Vision glasses sold separately), new costumes and a new and improved mercenaries mode with three times as many enemies.

Fans that pick up the PC version will be the first to experience stereoscopic 3D out of screen effects as their living rooms are transformed into the world of Kijuju. Infected Majini coming at players from every angle, dust flying in and out of screen and the scariest bosses to date are taken up a notch . Resident Evil 5 PC is a whole new level of fear players will never forget. The game also supports Stereoscopic 3D in all of its cut scenes – an industry first.

These groundbreaking stereoscopic 3D effects were developed in close cooperation with NVIDIA, which is why the game is part of NVIDIA’s “The Way It’s Meant To Be Played” partnership program. Resident Evil fans can check out the 3D action for themselves today as a new stereo 3D tech demo with benchmark is available to download today on NVIDIA’s official site at http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_re5_downloads.html. To find out more info on NVIDIA’s GeForce 3D V ision technology, click on the link here, http://www.nvidia.com/3dvision/.

If you can’t get enough of RE5 for the PC, it will be making its public debut at Comicon 2009 in Booth #5133 in full 3D. It will also be shown to thousands of gamers at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo in the Fall. More details on the game will be hitting in the upcoming months.

The benchmark appears to work if you don't have 3D Vision. Would you guys be interested in an article looking at the game's performance with the latest graphics cards?

I'll be at Comic-Con on Friday. I'll have to check it out, no doubt.

For the basic game it's a console port - we already know how it will run. If it doesn't run at max settings minus AA on something like an 8800GT at 16*10, and at silly resolutions on anything newer I'd be very surprised.

More interested in the 3D vision angle - how well does it work? The graphics effectively need to render at twice the speed (alternate frames for each eye) so how fast a card do you need to run it?
While you are at it you could say if playing the game with a 120hz monitor makes a real difference over playing it on a 60hz one (i.e not using 3D vision)? Is the monitor alone a good upgrade for this game?

Of course we're interested. As a matter of fact, I'd say most regular visitors of this site are always interested in articles about:

A. How will this sweet upcoming hardware perform with my current games?

B. How will this sweet upcoming game work with my current hardware?

How about instead we get an article on the effects of Nair in fighting off a swarm of zombies.
