Advice on Graphics Cards

For the record, my Win8 tablet scored 2249, 17.8 FPS on the first bench on medium. Playable for crafting maybe.

never go by what the bench tell you by the time ffxiv is release the score would be pointless. They even allowing you to display how many char you want on screen so lower that down would help low end pc.

FFXIV 1.0 i play at high setting with DOF and i got 2990 score on it lol tho that bench was made bad just like everything else they did lol. But ARR is build around low end PC so i'm sure you can do more then just craft

It's Intel's and thier socket pins that can be scary, one wrong slip, whoops there goes your motherboard.

More like, there goes your CPU lol. I actually once managed to bend about 4 pins on a Pentium4... and bend them back without breaking and the CPU still worked XD

Eh, I played 1.0 at high without DoF and got the same score as you, assuming that's at max preset. I think the earliest we can start judging the performance by the time ARR enters open beta.
