We recently had a chance to see and try out the PC version of Resident Evil 5 at Capcom's California offices, running on both an upper-midrange rig and on a high-end rig with dual GeForce GTX 285 cards in SLI. Both machines were running Windows 7, though the game is planned to support both Windows 7 and Vista, as well as XP, at decently high resolutions, and while the lower-end machine had vsync enabled to keep the frame rate capped to work with the Nvviidia 3D Vision goggles we had handy, the higher-end box had the frame rate uncapped and ran the game at 1280x720x32 bit textures at frame rates of upward of 130-150 frames per second. Got it on Gamespot.
From what i read at the capcom forums, the RE5 is gonna need minimum 2GB of ram and a minimal of 256MB VGA with pixel shader 3.0, about the processor everyone is still guessing. And the game it self support DX9 and 10.
