Asus ROG Maximus V Gene Z77 w/ Intel i7 3770K Review

Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.

Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.

Today we decided to measure game performance with the built in benchmark, so you could directly compare against your own system.

This is the first time we have seen smooth performance from an onboard GPU solution, although we dropped a few of the image quality settings to help improve the frame rate a little. The 3770K/Intel HD4000 is able to deliver smooth frame rates with this Direct X 10 title, even at 1080p! There are a few times it drops below the sweet spot of 25 frames per second, however many people will find this acceptable.

With the last generation HD3000, these frame rates were basically halved at these settings.
