I would post my rating... if that piece of shit would actually start for me. Whenever I click on "start" or "character creation" the window disappears for a second, reappears again and... nothing happens. No error message, no crash, nothing. And I'm srsly starting to get pissed at this.

nvm, I'm an idiot.

Max settings at 1920x1200 on an older card.


It ran at 50+ fps and scored a 5077 (Very High) when I dialed the settings down to what I currently use in ARR, with the addition of the DX11 features, so I'm basically getting more eye-candy for free. Humorously the NPCs all look rather disappointed when you score low instead of high.

Good enough.

If anyone was wondering, the lack of .index files prevents any reasonable .dat reading. The necessary file hashes/locations are all stored in the exe as far as I could tell.

It's ok, my GTX 9800+ sucks so bad, it couldn't even get over 1100 for the ARR benchmark.. yet I'm not having any problems in game, so long as I keep shadows turned down(it's always the shadows). I'm gonna run the HW benchmark just to laugh at it crashing because can't get over 300 or something

Did a quick run and came out with a higher score than I thought with my everyday clocks, guess I wont have to upgrade anything yet.
