[BadKarma]

I think Im just gonna play on Ps3 >.> since my PC WONT PLAY ANY GAMES FUCK

[Cureslime]

Weird, other people seem to have a comma after their processor with the actual speed listed but mine didn't. Oh well not worth figuring out why that is. Program rebooted my computer when I tried to run it at first. Went from 10.2-->10.5 drivers and it works fine now.

old school E6600 @ 3.0GHz, 2GB RAM, Radeon 5770 @ 880/1320MHz, XP 32-bit, intel X-25M G2 hard drive.

low: 3272, 24167
high: 2509, 25232

I'm about where I should be as far as scores go compared to other people. I'm guessing my load times are very high because I only have 2GB RAM. My hard drive is pretty sweet so I don't believe it's that.

Curious to see what laptops with high end mobile graphics cards get.

[8000 and over] Extremely High Performance
Easily capable of running the game on the highest settings.

[5500–7999] Very High Performance
Easily capable of running the game. Should perform exceptionally well, even at higher resolutions.

[4500-5499] High Performance
Easily capable of running the game. Should perform well, even at higher resolutions.

[3000-4499] Fairly High Performance
Capable of running the game on default settings. Consider switching to a higher resolution depending on performance.

[2500-2999] Standard Performance
Capable of running the game on default settings.

[2000-2499] Slightly Low Performance
Capable of running the game, but may experience some slowdown. Adjust settings to improve performance.

[1500-1999] Low Performance
Capable of running the game, but will experience considerable slowdown. Adjusting settings is unlikely to improve performance.

[Under 1500] Insufficient Performance
Does not meet specifications for running the game.

[Klaatu]

I think I need to buy a new machine... 225 on Low

[Gulkeeva]

Well... at my performance level.. you can run the demo and record it with fraps (full-mode) at 60-70fps+ (90-100+ with fraps off)

I wonder if those recommended settings are for high or low performance mode...

8000+ at "high quality" mode would be insane haha

Would need a cpu/video card running on liquid nitrogen oc'ed to insane levels imo

[Lucavi]

Strange. Only 1.5k on high res with this beast of a rig. Perhaps I need to dump in a few more sticks of ram...

[niwaar]

The real question here is what is the target benchmark range? To be honest, my scores were pitiful but I saw little to no noticeable slow down/framedrops on either high or low. Yet my scores were bad. Its kind of inane to drop this on us and not give us a "you should be scoring at this level to play at high" type thing.

Edit: I type that out and Hyan posts what I am asking for at the same time. Thanks.

[Kalisa]

I think I win the prize for worst computer ever so far--this was on low.

It's a 2-year-old laptop with a resolution of 1440x900, so I didn't try high. Only 2 GB of RAM. Would pumping a little more RAM into this thing help my cause at all, or am I better off buying a PS3? I don't care if I have to run it on minimum settings as long as I can control it--and I have already, though it was a headache and a half.

I also haven't been able to get any video drivers working above 186.81 despite spending a few days straight on laptopvideo2go.com just downloading, rebooting, reverting, and repeating the process. >.<

The alpha cs's ran smoother than the gameplay itself for me. I guess it's the same case here.

http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/media.../na/index.html Benchmark page.

I got a score similar to Kalisa with roughly the same CPU. I have 4GB RAM and my GPU is slightly better, but for all intents and purposes it's the same.

This is kinda odd, since I play the alpha with few problems and the benchmark ran more or less smoothly for me...A little choppy, but no slowdown, nothing adjusting some settings wouldn't fix.

[Jonny]

The benchmark is not using SLI. You're using only one core of your GTX295, which makes it like a GTX260.

The 7000 score is using a 980X CPU, yet you chose to focus on who makes the graphics card he's using? Use your head, we're talking about a $1000 hexacore processor here that is vastly faster than anything else on the market. The only person with a newer nVidia card on the leaderboard so far is myself, and I'm using a 5 year old CPU... and I got beat by 700 points on high.

Thus far, the scores seem to be right on the money company to company.

i wont post till they add quad-sli

[Jojimbo]

4525 on Low
2593 on High

i7 920 @3.8
6GB RAM
2x 5770 in XFire (didn't bother turning it off, using 10.4 atm)

My fps was pretty smooth in low (well ignoring all the jitter), in high my fps was all over the place especially during the battle scenes though.

EDIT:: My friend managed to get 112 on low! He's slowly copying files to a better pc now lol

[Black]

i have problem that the bench doesn't start at all, i chose race and resolution but when i press start nothing happen at all any had same problem?

1280x720, score: 3304

I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Looking forward to a beta.
