Benchmark is up!Follow

Ran it a few times... First three are on the Intel GMA4000 w/High CPU is 3610QM with 12GB all passes are at 1920x1080 second set of runs I used the 670M on my laptop.

Score:741
Average Framerate:5.456
Performance:Insufficient
-Does not meet specifications for running the game.

Medium (And I must say, there was no stuttering and alot of the textures still have decent shadows and overall the game looks great at this setting)
Tested on:2/21/2013 5:52:45 PM
Score:1719
Average Framerate:13.384
Performance:Slightly Low
-Capable of running the game, but may experience some slowdown. Adjust settings to improve performance.

The follwing were made with the Nvidia 670M on the same laptop
Max (looked fine to me, very little if any slowdown.. which is odd considering it says Avg FPS of 23 and I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 usually in other titles)
Tested on:2/21/2013 6:00:50 PM
Score:2927
Average Framerate:23.202
Performance:Fairly High
-Capable of running the game on default settings. Consider switching to a higher resolution depending on performance.

High (I'll likely run at this setting with some of the Max settings enabled)
Tested on:2/21/2013 6:13:58 PM
Score:3741
Average Framerate:29.662
Performance:High
-Easily capable of running the game. Should perform well, even at higher resolutions.

Hopefully this helps people looking into a laptop for the game. I'm running a Sager NP9130 (older gen, the newer one has a 670MX... the 9150 is a great deal too). You can get Sager or Cleveo Laptops alot cheaper through 3rd party distros, some of which offer military discounts and some student discounts.

I'd test my desktop, but I don't feel like tweaking around to get SLI working on the bench at this time.

I just bumped mine up from 6615 or whatever it was to a 7059 just from turning off motion blurr (which I don't like anyway). Try it out.

comments, suggestions?

heres mine on medium / low res

Yes. It runs a chunk of the game's engine and has your computer render everything while it does this. It then assigns you a score based on how well it did that which gives you an idea of how well your computer should run the actual game.

I thought running my old 460 and AMD 965 at 1920x1200 on Preset maximum was good at just under 6k till I saw these scores. I'm going SSD and a new videocard before game launch, It says i can run at higher resolutions but don't guarantee FINAL FANTASY XIV A Realm Reborn will run, it must be a Benchmark legal thing.

Not bad for an older system. I just upgraded the vid card to the 550ti for GW2 and it ran that fine....

Alright Benchmark is looking great!

A few questions:

1 - What's the 'best' way to run the benchmark? (I.e. do you have no other programs running on a fresh reboot etc?)
2 - Does the benchmark utilise SLI (I'm guessing no since it's run in windowed mode)?
3- If no SLI - what is the likely real-world performance boost when the game launches in full-screen mode with SLI active?
4 - Based on my system, what would you say is my biggest weakness?

DUde your resolution is low lol.

I scored 4222 with max settings. Although it says "high" the game clearly was lagging pretty badly during the benchmark.

16gb ram
nvidia 465 fermi
Phenon x4 3.2ghz
SSD

I win.

Absolute lowest settings and to be honest while I can get ~5k at max, game still looks better at lowest with everything off than 1.0 did with everything on :)
