Load Time 24492ms

Score 3061 @ 720p (1280*720)

No visible lag in either benchmark.

Running ffxi besides it.
Just throwing this out here for comparison.
No overclocking nor tweaking done on the system.

Wierd, video didn't lag at all and looked good, but my score was abysmal, glad i plan to use ps3 lol
 
Wow, I scored fairly low. Like 528 or something but the video ran perfectly. Plus, my PC specs aren't that bad. I was expecting like a 2000 at least.
 
684...

Yet I run the Alpha just fine. Odd.

I understand it's only Alpha and it will improve but one has to also think it will have a more stable connection as well.
 
I got.... 250 on lowest settings.

I need a new computer :/
 
2115 on mine at 720 though since im testing it out on my laptop atm
 
Ironically, it crashes every time I try to run it.
 
I-920
8gb ram
Windows 7 64bit
Nvidia 295Gtx current drivers

1080p score 2512
720p score 4065

I wish they showed fps. I assume they are using 30fps as the definition of "good".

Edit: Installed fraps and at 1080p with my setup the vast majority of the benchmark ran at 45-60fps. During the most intense parts of the battle with the deck full of octopi my fps were in the low to mid 30's. I saw it drop into the 20's once. All in all I will be happy with the way this game plays if this holds true come release.

Of course, because it's me, its' not working at all, but that's okay because I know I'm doing it wrong.

I might need someone's help with this but this is what I'm doing:

First off, I downloaded that Directx. Both the 9.0 version (the DirectX 9.0b Software Development Kit Extras: Direct3D) and DirectX 9.0c - End-User EULAs and stuck them together in a folder.

I then went to download the file which came out in winrar. Here is where I'm stuck. Step 2 of instructions say "Uncompress the downloaded file and specify a destination to save the unzipped files" but there is no option to uncompress, only to extract and extracting doesn't help at all. If I try to excute what I have from extracting, I can choose my race and what not but I eventually either get a data corrupted message or error code d3dx9_41dll.

How the hell are you guys uncompressing? I'm looking around online now to figure that part.

EDIT: After some googling I have found out that uncompressing and extracting is the same thing? Either way, I still get data corruption error. I'm not going to bed until I figure this out.

If I'm so bad with computers, I must be good with trees.

Yeah I thought uncompressing and extracting were the exact same thing. All I had to do was, open the .zip in WinRAR, extract it to my desktop, run the .exe, pick my character, and run it. After that you get the whole benchmark thing.

That's exactly what I did and I was getting corruption data, so now I'm just installing everything again with a higher version of DirectX.

Edit: I think I was just missing a file before or had an older version of DirectX, but things look good after I get by my next error message and force closes.

6.6 on Windows Index Rating

Low Setting
2572
27061ms

High Setting
2008
27723ms

Lowest FPS was 25
Highest was 65 fps (Excluding black screens)
In both settings it stayed between 35-45 fps most of the time.

The benchmark put an even load across all four cores most of time about 55%. Between cut-scenes it would peg to 100%.

I hope they do not force wide screen in the final release. I'm still a 4:3er.

NVidea GeForce 8800GTX

Score: - 2626 (Low Setting)
Load Time - 13360ms

Not as bad as I thought, since i'm probably gonna be using PC mostly and PS3 as a secondary system.
 
Intel i7 1.6GHZ
Nvidia Geforce 310M
4GB RAM
Windows 7 64 bit

Score (low):561

i expected higher...

That's... unnaturally low, actually. I'd have to think there's either an error in the program, or there's something wrong with your system.
 
Ran it at work on one of our Optiplex 960s.

4GB of RAM (Not sure the spec)
Intel Core2 Quad 2.66Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 3450 (If I recal its a 512MB card, but CC is reporting 2GB Hyper-memory)
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
3.9 on Windows Index Rating

Scored 323 on low. Was unwatchable choppy.

CPU avaraged in the 50% as before. Very little activity on the HDD. So the limiting factor was either RAM speed or the video card. I'd say video.

Up next is the iMac, loading Windows 7 on it right now.

4GB of RAM (No clue on the spec)
Intel Core2 Dual 2.66Ghz
ATI Radeon Mobility HD 2600 XT
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (Native EFI boot)
5.9 on Windows Index Rating

903 on low settings
Video was smoother, but still chopped every few seconds.

scored 4554 on low, 23295ms load time
scored 2915 on high, 12255 load time

Almost no chop, can't wait to play.

I'm not sure if it had an effect, but I can't do 1080p on my main monitor, so I had some carry over from the screen on my sub-monitor. I'll have to rerun it once I buy my new monitor, whenever it actually comes out.
