what was your benchmark compatibility score?

DX9 Benches






DX11 Benches

With 3770k and 7950 I got 6355, but my card is overclocked. Unclocked I got merely 5551 which is a lower score than people with slower Nvidia cards (I imagine you'll have a similar score). Won't speak for the game, but the benchmark is obviously paid and sponsored by Nvidia. Shame on SE.

You tested it with max. settings I assume?
It sounds "ok" to me, since I don't plan on running 3.0 on max settings, as I don't do it right now too.

(Sentence sounds weird to me, hope it's understandable @.@)

Super excited for the expansion to release.

So I did some testing of the effects of resolution and of of graphics settings on DX11 results.

Changing from the default resolution to my current resolution takes about 30% off my perfomance, and reducing graphics from maximum to High (PC) adds 15-20% to the end score. Just an FYI for people who have lower scores looking to fix it without shelling out money for upgrades.

Seeing a lot of people on laptops with crazy low scores and i'm almost positive it's mostly because they are using the integrated graphics instead of their actual cards so do this: Setting power management to maximum performance will force your laptops to always be using your graphics card and will vastly improve your performance. Hope this helps some.

Annnnd for shticks and figgles. DX9 (5760x1080)



Why no DX11 of that you ask? Well cause Benchmark no play nice with eyefinity under DX11 settings it seems. <_<
Curious to see if anyone else is running into that issue as well.

Well, looks like it's time to replace my old GPU now. I've got 5676 (Very high) running it with max settings, DX11, with a 1920x1080 res. I'm not satisfied. >8(

This is generally still a playable score. Where "get a better GPU" comes in is when it can't average 30fps. Since the only upgrade would be to GTX960/770 (200$) or 970/780 (350$), you have to be able to justify upgrading the GPU for more than just this game.

My MS Surface Pro 3 that I play the game on occasionally
