Benchmark is up!Follow

That was Yoshi-P's goal. He really wants everyone to be able to not only play, but have it still look good.

Very nice!

You can embed with premium. My games used to do that when my GPU would overheat, but that's probably one of many possible causes.

I am wondering why I can only have a resolution of 1920x1200. I use eyefinity with 3x 2560x1440 screens when I play. Wanted to try 1 screen with max resolution at max settings first just to see what I would get, but couldn't crank it up that much. Do you think this will be a problem in the game as well or was this just for the benchmark?

I have no idea what most of these options do, lol. I plan to have my new machine built by the time the game releases, but for now what do you computer gurus recommend me lowering/turning off first to try and get somewhere in the middle range score?

Thanks for your help ahead of time!

This seems to be the best option for me and possibly other people with a similar machine (depending on what you can live with or without). I turned the settings to the default Maximum and then used the same setup as High on the boxes you check at the top - with the exception of the Anti-Aliasing (I always heard this was something to turn off if you have a poor man's gaming laptop like myself). I lowered my monitor's resolution to 1680x1050 (was really hard to find one that didn't leave me with "wasted space" on my screen) and used 1280x960 for the benchmark. I tweaked both resolutions up and down many times and this seemed to be the highest I could get before making the jump from a "Standard" score to a "Slightly High" score.

I'm guessing Standard is what I should be shooting for?

Better than I expected frankly. I think I'll take it.

Hopefully people will stop doubting that they truly did rebuild the game from the ground up now.

I can live with high on "High" settings. they obviously did an excellent job optimizing the graphics and speed, as i expected my results to only be playable on medium. Definitely upgrading my PSU and Gcard though. As the 8+ man events did cause a noticeable slow down. Other than that if for (god forbid) some reason I can't get that by release it's still more than playable. I have an amd radeon r6670 2GB core edition gcard and an A4 amd processor if that gives anyone an idea of the ballpark (low end compared to most of the setups most of you have). Basically that means anything with a recent graphics card and a decent processor can play this game on med/high settings with no real issues.

Edit: By noticeable I mean my fps may have dropped by about 5-10 fps. which is more than playable but not "i have to time my abilities more carefully" noticeable

All factory settings, no OC

Pretty impressive how smoothly they have this engine running. My PC is nothing special and it handled it with no problem at all.

This is at 1080P at max, gonna use 720P when game launches though:
