The PC version of Street Fighter IV is now released. Various digital distribution channels such as Steam and Impulse are carrying it for instant download upon purchase. The PC edition is identical to the console version released earlier this year, with a few additions including the option to increase the video resolution and three visual filters that give a more artistic look to the character models. As previously reported, the modest system requirements should mean the game should run on any decent rig, and a benchmark tool is available for judging the performance.

Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark Tool Released
As per the new Capcom tradition, there is a benchmark tool available for the PC version of Street Fighter IV. The 400MB program is an unplayable demo that showcases the game’s performance on your PC. Capcom has released this kind of demo for other recent games like Devil May Cry 4, and it has proved a valuable tool for people wanting to see how the games run on their PC systems before buying.
Not that any of the recent batch of Capcom games have needed hefty rigs, by any means. DMC4 ran extremely smoothly for all the graphical splendour it dealt, and SFIV similarly is running well on modest systems according to reports. Its low system requirements means that it will perform well on any decent rig. Typically Capcom has released a playable demo to follow a benchmark demo, so it’s possible that one for SFIV is on the way before its early July launch date 1)http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/blog/2009/05/08/the_street_fighter_iv_pc__the_options.
