Street Fighter IV PC
Benchmark Results
& Screenshots.
A few days ago the Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark was released. Street Fighter IV is superb on consoles, but I have been very interested to see what the game plays like and looks like on a PC. Fortunately with this new benchmark I have been able to test this and it looks incredible.
I have used the benchmark a total of 24 times. Each time has been very impressive. I have not experienced any slowdown and the animations have been even smoother than what I have experienced on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Considering how great this game is on consoles, this is spectacular news for PC gamers.
The PC Settings in the menu consists of a plethora of graphical options to tweak. You can set the antialiasing from none all the way to C16xQAA. There are also a number of resolution, framerate, texture, and shadow settings. There is simply tons to tweak if you are not getting the FPS that you desire.
The benchmark consists of 3 different fights and one scene of the original Street Fighter gang spinning in a circle. All of the fights are very exciting. Many of the moves which are shown can be very difficult to reproduce when actually playing the game. Thankfully there are some awesome accessories available for purchase that work on the PC. Especially I would recommend the Official Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition FightStick. It is really nice that these fantastic arcade sticks are finally in stock at many online retail locations. Kudos to MadCatz for finally having the supply to meet the unprecedented demand.
My test setup for the benchmark included the following:
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 9650 @ 3.0GHz
Memory: Corsair Domainator DDR3 1800 4GB
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 280 SSC
Display Setting: 1920x1080 60Hz
Graphic Settings: All Settings Maxed
Certainly not the newest setup, but powerful nevertheless. In case you are concerned if your PC will be able to handle this game you may want to checkout the Street Fighter IV PC Requirements.
The above screenshot represents the benchmark score I achieved the very first time that I tested. Not bad at all! Averaging at least 60 FPS the entire bench session. V-sync was turned on, but obviously that does not guarantee 60 FPS if your system can not handle it. Very impressive considering that I had all settings maxed. The benchmark was buttery smooth.
Now this interesting. This is the result I achieved by alt tabbing out of the benchmark and then returning after it was finished. Obviously this is an absolutely awesome result. Maybe it is an NVIDIA driver issue or pehaps alt tabbing throttles the graphics card.
Needless to say I am downright stoked for Street Fighter IV on the PC. It appears that it will be an incredible experience. Street Fighter IV PC will be available on July 7th. You can purchase Street Fighter IV in two different varitions. One with a Ryu fightpad controller bundled with the game and another that comes with the game only.
- Street Fighter IV MadCatz Bundle
- Street Fighter IV
Below you will find many screenshots which I took while running the benchmark.
