MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GB 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.

We are running this game at both 1680×1050 and 1080p (1920×1080) with 8AA and everything maxed.

AMD hardware performs well with the Resident Evil 5 engine and the Cyclone N450GTS has a tough time, maintaining almost equal performance with the reference clocked HD5750 at both resolutions. The HD5770 Vapor X pulls out in front at both resolutions with the GTX460 OC leading the way by a significant margin.
