My main laptop that I carry everywhere, a Lenovo X230. Looks like it will run the game fine with some reduced settings. Certainly respectable....

Will re-run my machine at home tonight and see what comes back. I saw this little gem too:
* The benchmark software is compatible with SLI for NVIDIA graphics cards. Furthermore, CrossFire for AMD graphics cards will be supported when updated drivers are made available. A separate announcement will be made regarding driver updates.

This may be the time to consider a 2nd GPU card.

Well that explains why my scores are low running a pair of 6870's...
 
Pleased with these results...

Any idea why the benchmark insists it won't run because I need to have DirectX 9 installed even though I have 11 installed?
 
Nevermind, installed 9.0c on top of my 11 install.

Not as impressive a score as Aang but with max settings:

Think I built this computer when I graduated law school back in Spring 2010 so not terrible for being 3 years old.

Nothing wrong with that. For 3 years old, that's pretty good. :cool: My machine is about a year old now, I don't plan renewing this one for another 4-5 years.
 
In the same boat as Garret,

Average Framerate:48.365
Performance:Very High

Build my machine back in 2010, but my GPU is a Geforce 250 GTS (I have another for SLI support, come oooooon SLI!), so it was already an old card to begin with lol. Tested on High and Full screen 1920x1080. Not sure when I'll upgrade my cards or build a new rig.
 
Oh I should retest mine. Those results were windowed. Imagine full screen should get better results?

A bit lower in borderless windowed mode but should still be good. My current issue is that when FFXIV was tanking preivously in a fit of rage I cancelled my account completely and now it doesn't want to let me register my email again.
 
Oh shit is this a new benchmark?! The previous one wasn't SLI compatible. TIME TO TEST.
 
Hope AMD gets off their rears and gets an updated driver pushed out before early start..
 
Full-screen 1080p maximum score, Aang. GO. I'm using the 320.49 WHQL drivers from Nvidia. 2512x1413@60Hz is the maximum frequency my monitor can handle over a DVI-Dual Link connection. On that last result I had an average framerate of 82.116. I really appreciate SLI support.

Dual-Link DVI on a Dell Monitor (this one) -- 2560x1600 is the highest I can go.

I expected no less from a GTX690. What a great card! I think Quad SLI would be overkill. Though, you'd be able to set 64x SLI CSAA in the Nvidia Control Panel, among other way overpowered graphical overrides. I want to try enabling transparency AA at 4x supersample to clean up sprites like the grass and leaves. You have a great monitor, too. I've been trying to find a replacement for my old Dell G2407. I really want a 27" 1440p monitor, since those panels have the highest pixel density, but their prices are still prohibitive. Alternatively, I've been looking at those new 21:9 monitors from LG and Dell. The width of the monitor is astounding, but the horizontal resolution is still 1080p.
 
I just built a new computer... here are two runs I did. The first with everything set to max at 2560x1600, the second was just the out of the box settings for High (Desktop). I am pretty stoked to see what it looks like.
