So yeah, this benchmark kinda blows, doesn't even have a full screen option so those with 2 card setups can't take advantage of it, but on my 6950 shader unlocked at default clocks, I got a 5400~ score and it said the performance is very high so I guess it doesn't need a whole lot.

Here is a FRAPS capture at 30FPS, switch to 1080p and see the supposed max out setting :P :

Have fun!

Update: new version 1.02 supports full screen and borderless window mode, crossfire and sli don't work though.

Sorry dahuman, we're all playing HotS.

I get about 4700 at 1080p@max with a phenom II x6 1100t + gtx 570 at stock. My core 2 quad q6600 + gtx 480  gets about 4200 at 1080p@max preset no overclock. Doesnt seem to be limited by the cpu too much.

Oh God why Square...why must you release this game at all costs??

I'm not saying people should play it, I sure as hell am not lol. It's a benchmark. PC people like to run them lol -_^b

my guess is: because FF11 made them a lot of money

It does have a full screen option.

But this game is going to bomb so hard lol

This game cant be that taxing to the hardware, I got "high" results with hardware that is old by industry standards. GTX 460, 8GB RAM and a Phenom II X4 3,4 ghz. :)

I might have an older version, will try again after I get home :)
