Street Fighter IV Coming to a PC Near You; Can You Run It?

sf4benchmark Street Fighter IV Coming to a PC Near You; Can You Run It?
Wondering if Street Fighter IV’s PC release will run on your rig? Capcom released a benchmark program for you to find out.
Over at 4Gamer.net you can download a 397MB zip file with a benchmark program that – - after a lengthy installation – - runs through a match between Ryu and Sakura for your fireball-throwing viewing pleasure. After that, Cammy and Crimson Viper duke it out, but I ended the demo there, so I don’t know if there are others that follow. You can also adjust graphics settings and resolutions to see just how well your computer can manage all the sumi-e inkstyle comboing.
An under-powered machine like mine required throttling down the details, which left a pale, detail-less Ryu and Sakura fighting in a barren wireframe vacuum at 28 frames per second. Sigh. If only it ran on the Source engine.
The PC version of Street Fighter IV comes out July 7, 2009. I wonder if the pay-to-download extra costumes for the consoles come packed in? Required specs after the jump.

    You mentioned that your computers weak specs caused poor graphics. What were the specs?

    Windows Vista
    Intel Core2 CPU @ 2.13GHz
    2.0GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS

    With plenty of hard drive space and great sound. But still not as powerful as an Xbox 360 apparently!
