Letter from the Producer XLII

Basically, if you score well with 1.0, you're not going to have a problem scoring well with 2.0. If anything, it's going to score higher. The game is just optimized so much better graphically, at least, as far as the alpha went. (Before you NDA whiners start screaming you can watch Nico Nico live presentation on youtube to see the different graphical settings for 2.0 and how they perform)

I will give SE my first born child if I can get it to run looking like the last screenshot in the letter Brucey. Seriously.

FTW is EVGA's naming for their factory overclock GPU. Still a GTX 670, just overclocked out of the box.

Makes me feel kind of miserable seeing people having to use that nasty old benchmark because SE haven't pushed the ARR benchmark software out yet.

lol I wasn't the only one thinking this. After looking at the scores I almost downloaded it myself.

[Lurex]

I just ran the benchmark, here's my results:

Intel i7 -3820 CPU @ 3.60 GHZ
32 GB ram
64 bit Win8
2x EVGA GTX 660 TI running in SLi
High Res: 7761
Didn't bother to do low.

That Aero glass will hurt performance in windowed mode. This was a common issue when I was collecting scores before.

That looks like a big monitor on the left .

Ah duely noted.. I only just got all this kit about 1-2 months ago so still getting everything sorted. There were a couple of nice programs I had on my previous system.. "Vista Services", basically disabled all inactive / unneeded services (including switching to a performance based theme) and a "Game Booster" which basically picked up anything that Vista Services didn't. I found my game ran much cleaner on the crappy setup I used to have with both of them running.

I might re-bench everything after I set those back up.

Haha yeah it isn't small... 27" iMac :P 2560x1440

^ I think it is. Although I have yet to try it on an older system with older hardware. Although I'm sure it would work very well, with proper drivers of course. It is not only faster than windows 7, but once you get used to it, its even easier to find what you need, plus it uses less memory. BTW I have yet to come across any incompatibilities with games or programs, and things seem to run faster than they used to on windows 7.
