Huh. Well, that kinda sucks. I am on dual monitors so maybe that had an effect. The high res took up one monitor and 1/3 on my other monitor. I also have ~30 windows open in Firefox as well as RainMeter. Kinda of dissappointing, but I'll give it a shot probably tomorrow and see. Making the game conform to perform "standard" for computers that are less than a year old doesn't seem like smart business move, but meh. We'll see.

My monitor sadly doesn't go up 1080p res so I can't give the high score. Alot of it has to do with the features of the hardware and setups too I suppose. Seems FFXIV is picky with computer hardware as Vista OS was when it first came out! xD
I've run over 25 benchmarks with drivers 197.xx to 259.xx. SLi modes on and off and Physx on either GPU#1 GPU#2 or CPU.
The best results i've had were on drivers version 258.95. On each variation on settings or drivers, I restarted my PC on each loop. Average temps were roughly 82-90 degress tops.
Here are my specs: Intel Core i7 965 Extreme 3.2 GHz overclocked @ 3.6GHz
EVGA GTX285 FTW 1GB (x2) Video Cards SLi Enabled
Core: 700 Shader: 1575 Memory: 1390 Fan Speed: 100%
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB RAM @ 1866MHz
WD Velociraptors 150GB (x2) @ RAID 0
ASUS Rampage Extreme II Motherboard (Northbridge @ x8 x8 setting)
Windows Vista 64bit with Service Pack 2
Nvidia drivers 258.95 64bit International (available at guru3d)
I was considering getting Windows 7 64bit , i'm not sure if it'll help overall performance. Here are the results...
Granted, there's a difference between the cpu speed because it was OC'ed to 3.2 from 3.0 at the time, but the scores would then mean there's almost no difference.

Hmm....here are my PC specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @3.4ghz oc'ed
2gig of OCZ DDR2 800mhz in Dual Channel mode (also oc'ed to 900+mhz due to jumper free auto profiling in bios setting)
250gig Raptor HDD 10,000rpm Sata II 16mg cache
650w Thermaltake PSU gold-standard
BFG 9800 GTX - Nvidia
Windows XP 32bit SP3
18.5 inch Acer ws monitor
Now give or take my system setup is pretty low end for FFXIV but for some reason on low I scored 3500+

I got "standard performance" in my old system, and again on my new one.
Old specs: C2D@2.6, 8800GT. New: Phenom 965@3.8Ghz, 460GTX(1GB).

But the resolutions are different, 1440x900(old) and 1920x1080(new). Could that really be it?
Still, I expected a much better result with my new 460GTX.
Edit: Anyone else notice how the Nvidia logo shows up randomly, regardless if its an ATI or Nvidia card? Strange benchmark this is.
