Along with Capcom uncovering the release date for Resident Evil 5, they have also released a benchmark tool to test your NVIDIA 3D performance and experience first hand on how it looks and feels.

If you’re not fortunate enough to have all the gear to run 3D Vision, you can still download the tool and see if your computer is capable of running the game with no problems; the demo runs fine without all the fancy vision kits.
