Lowest score ever? 1104 on LOW. I know my computer sucks ass but come on.....Pentium D 2.8 dual core and an 8800gt 520. Does that sound right?

Ive seen people get 320 and 540 on low so you are not the worst. The benchmark is not the most accurate thing right now, but your probably in store for an upgrade or something ha.
Unfortunately, yes. = ( On the plus side you can build a decent new computer for 500-800 that will meet recommended specs just fine. I know this is out of range if you are currently unemployed, as a lot of us are. But if you cut corners and give up some things it really is possible to get there. Here's to hoping FF XIV will be worth it!!!
1046 on high lol. Yeah, i think its time for a new computer. Can't believe I spent 1500 for this computer 4 years ago. I hate dell beyond words.
I had a pretty abysmal score as well. 2100 or so. My computer isn't great, but it's not a complete piece of crap. I've more or less settled on the fact that I will be playing FFXIV on my PS3. I just can't see upgrading for the sake of one game.
AMD 9500 Quad core 2.2GHZ (a definite bottleneck)
3G Ram
GTS250
I can run it again but my laptop was like 150
Honestly your system should run the game fine, not on max settings obviously but definently at some sort of medium to high settings.
The benchmark is really a terrible way to rate systems for several different reasons, i'm pretty sure it doesn't even utilize additional cpu's on a multicore.
I got like 2100 on low, 1700 on high. With an 8800 and a 3.2 ghz dual core. Didn't seem to stutter too much, so it seemed playable.
I spent $900 bulding my computer from nothing, and got an 875 using the onboard graphics, popped in my old 8800 gt and it jumped up to 2800, it seems the video card is one of the most important parts in the benchmark test.
On this site I saw someone with a 30 on low so don't feel too bad. http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94743
1476 on high, 2582 on low with a wolfdale 3.1 and a HD 4870 X2.
1012 on high, 2200 (ish) on low.
Not very good. And I didn't even expect to break 1000 on high since my machine is elederly (graphics card is new, but the rest is old).
There's nothing to indicate that the bechmark test is truly indicative of in-game performance though.
Unless and until we're 100% sure that it is, I wouldn't worry unduly.
thats ok i only hit 770
I hit 4139 on high and almost 10k on low. See pic for my settings and results.
Intel Core i7-920 @2.6ghrz overclocked to a stable 3.4ghrz - I can hit 4.4 4.5 but its not 100% stable http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1297641
Nvidia MSI 470gtx overclocked to 800x1600 with memory at 2180mhz
6gigs ddr3 tri-chan ram
Only got about 800 or so on low, going to preorder anyway. Pay someone to replace my graphics card once the specs are released. I think its best to just ignore the benchmark, wait for Square Enix to tell everyone what they need then do what you have to to fix your computer (assuming you want to play it that badly and can afford to obviously). Wish they would do what Turbine did for LOTRO and release a high texture and low texture pack. Always thought that was one of the best solutions anyones come up with - keep the high spec people happy with their pretty graphics and everyone else still at least gets to play the thing. Not sure why more companies haven't copied that idea.
Im gonna guess that if u have a 9800 or 250gts you will be fine.
Lets look at logic.... If the ps3 is gonna play this then try to base your system off of it.

just my thoughts.
The PC version has a release date of Sep 2010 and the PS3 version Mar 2011. No pricing info has been made available yet for the PS3 version, though the $50 std and $75 collector's for PC have.
The "beta" system requirements are here: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/#/about/game_info
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?
Explorer: 87%, Killer: 67%, Achiever: 27%, Socializer: 20%
Was damn close on that 9800 guess
Odds are that it will creep up in requirements as it makes its way through beta. They will try to walk that fine line between the game being playable and having as many players possible.

If anything it will go down. APB only requires a 7600 to play and is far more graphicaly demanding than this. It really depends on programing and game engine as well.
Unreal engines are great, high graphics low power to run it.
Cystic Tools... not so much. Cystic Tools will be harder on GPUs that most graphic engines.
There's a setting that makes the game look like FFXI on PS2.
It's ugly but it's playable, lol.
2100 on high 3400 on low.
I have a
AMD quad core Phenom 2 940 3.0 ghz
9800gtx+
8 Gb of ram
I think that people with these scores wiill be able to play the game just fine. Not sure if anyone has a machine capable of hitting the 8000 or even 6000 score mark.
I hit 975. I'm hoping this game isn't awesome so I don't have to beg the wife to let me get a new computer.
Pentium 4 3.2ghz
2gb RAM
ATI Radeon 5770
Win XP
My video card is nice but my processor is beyond ancient. I'm surprised its holding me back that much though. I read the game is gpu heavy not cpu. This is the first game I've run across I won't be able to run.
Just for reference: I have a wolfdale (Core 2 Duo E8200 @ 3.2 GHz) and an HD 4870 512 with 4GB RAM.
I had about 2250 on high and about 3500 on low. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and I keep my PC very clean (not much other than Avast antivirus software running).
I'm not at all worried about not being able to run the game on medium to high at 1650x1080 with an acceptable frame rate. I just can't imagine it will be more demanding than that.
My score was so low I wont even post it... It was like watching a flip book but turning the pages really slowly.... lol
My computer fail....
My score was low but I kinda expected it to when it only has 1 graphic setting and ran in windowed mode.
