what was your benchmark compatibility score?

[Leowilde]

4000-and something.

[Failia]

I ran 2 tests.

One without changing anything.



And another with max settings on full screen (which I normally don't run, I prefer windowed).



Seems I won't be able to take it to the full potential with what I have.

*EDIT*

Ran another test after updating my GPU drivers and made a few changes:

5913. maximum settings.

i'm really glad i upgraded my graphics processor now.

[VTanner]

Well I got 5993 with Maximum settings at 2560x1440



and I got 9929 running Maximum at 1920x1080



Seems my SLI GTX580's are running out of VRAM for the 1440p settings. Still I'm looking to upgrade this year anyway so for the moment I'm quite happy.

P.S with my graphic cards overclocked at 880Mhz / 1765Mhz / 4200Mhz (Core / Shader / Memory) I score about 500 more points on 1440p and 700 on 1080p.

Running on a 2013 Macbook Pro, was fairly choppy



Then I toned down the settings quite a bit. It seemed somewhat smooth:

The SLI doesn't seem to work at all on my 780s :c

On dx9, both cards are used, on dx11, one card is at 100% while the other is at like 10%.
