XIV @ lowest settings?

[Cream Soda]

Basically, 1500 was the recommended score on benchmark to even be playing the game. I think I scored ~1300, but I meet/beat the min specs they listed a few days ago when they announced the release date, so I was wondering if you guys think I'd be able to play (not even flawless, but just what I'd consider playable; little lag is fine but not 2 second delay on macros, ect) with my specs.

I was wondering the same thing earlier today, but cream are you sure you got ~1300 on Low settings? I have a dual core P8700 2.5 ghz, same ram as you (4 gigs), and a ati mobility radeon HD 4570 (still 512 megs though), but I only managed a ~800 on low

edit: think I'm rounding up; pretty sure it was closer to 750

[Cream Soda]

I rounded up as well, it was in the 1280s, but yea I ran it twice, def over 1280

[Skidz]

hmm, now I'm concerned... :/ or maybe the jump from 4570 to 4670 was just that good.

[sruon]

His laptop has an integrated chipset, aka the worst possible thing ever.

Might be possible to play in lowest spec/lowest details but I wouldn't bet on it.

I havent benchmarked in forever, where is there a free version of benchmark?
