It really is all about the graphics card, those with Core 2 Quads gets no better results than those with Core 2 Duos.
You shouldn't really buy into all that PR mumbo jumbo from Intel.
The link proves you wrong.
You need both good CPU and good GPU to get good scores on High settings.
You lack reading comprehension, what I'm saying is this: you will not get any noticeably improvement with using four cores instead of two in this benchmark.
All those memories will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

My link proves that wrong too. Sorry.
Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

Offcourse it does... But then who cares if people want to beleive the truth or just make up their own thruth, they only fool themselves that way....
Next to its really important to know if the game supports multi cores, for those people that want to build a new system.

That with a 5850 overclocked fairly well, 6GB DDR3 RAM, and a WD Raptor 150GB HDD (rest of relevant specs in image)
Edit: That was on low res. On the high res setting it dropped to around 4100. And if anyone is wondering why the 8800GT is there - it is primarily for PhysX processing and just powers my second monitor (a bit overkill for just showing Steam/Thunderbird, lol)
Is it just me, or is every score over 2500 using an ATI card?
The brand of card seems to be the deciding factor, I've seen a lot of beastly PCs getting in the low 2000s, then someone with half the specs but an ATI card scoring 4000-6000.
That might seem that way since ATi has absolutely crushed nvidia for the past year or two - and this is coming from a former nvidia-only guy. I just accepted reality finally and got my first ATi - the 5850, and marveled at the overclock results

Satans - if you want to get twice (or better) the value for your gaming computer, go custom build. I spent under $1k on my whole setup and look at the number my system puts up on my previous post.
This pretty much reinforced my decision to play on PS3. $250 versus spending 2k on a really nice gaming machine. My wife is already pissed about buying a PS3 for one game. I don't dare buy a new PC >.>
See, this is what I'm talking about. How did that PC get a higher benchmark on high than an i7 920 CPU with 4GB DDR3 RAM with a 9800GT 512 GDDR3 Superclocked Edition?
The benchmark must count the video card as much more valuable than the CPU, or anything else for that matter. That's the only reason I can come up with since the GTX is a better card than a GT.

It does. Theres been rumors that it isn t even recognizing anything over single core. I wouldn t take anything out of this benchmark. I did a test myself. A single core with the same vid card was a score or 2 less, yes only 2 then my quad. It isn t an accurate test at all.

This is what I have been saying all along.
And the benchmark has the same code as the rest of the game so only one core is supported.

I have a Intel Quad Core 2.4 with 4GB of ram, 8800GT Nvidia card and Windows 7 64-bit. I was getting around 1700 but after turning my desktop to "Classic settings" and in the control panel putting my performance to " adjust for best performance" I'm now getting a score of 3067 ^.^. I don't know how much more of an upgrade this will be but I just ordered a ATI 4850 512 Card so we'll see. I mostly ordered the new card for the HDMI Audio support so I can play with my wireless keyboard on my couch and still have sound from my TV speakers...plus the bigger display.

Yep that does it, there are also processes you can disable to score even higher.
I had a MySQL server, apache server and much more loaded in memory running and was getting 2800 with the same thing as you, but with windows vista. Let me know what the 4850 does for you, i'm looking for a card upgrade too!

Changed these settings and got 4434 on low 2568 on high squezzed a bit more out but now my desktop looks like poo...
Ok guys seriously most of the last post i see is: hey i got a score of 2000-3000 so time for an upgrade....
I mean come on this is only a benchmark you will seriously upgrade a pc base on a benchmark for a game you didnt even try??
Im serious there im a fan of FF and but i have only a score of 900 for now but i will try the game first before thinking of spend hundred buck..
I even heard things about ati card get lower score than nvidia but hey!! i saw and nvidia logo when i start the benchmark. thos that ring a bell? Dont trust think like that so easily and if you do dont come bashing after. Anyway that what i think..

I like to build monsters... i mean machines. I like hardware I'm not bashing the the game or the benchmark.... although it needs to utilise multiple gpus.
It's only using 0%-22% GPU load according to GPU-Z (most of my games use 60%-100%). Which is horrible, almost like it's software rendering. Not only that but is only using one core. However, loading seems to be multithreaded, so that does leverages multiple cores.

I did it again and got 2376.
Yaaay, up 9 points.
I will upgrade when the 6000 series hits the streets which should be sometime in Q4.

This result makes me want to cry....
I think I win!!!!
Maybe its time to upgrade... I should have £400 in vouchers by the end of august...

Next one up is Alienware and that's WAY out of my price range
Satans - if you want to get twice (or better) the value for your gaming computer, go custom build. I spent under $1k on my whole setup and look at the number my system puts up on my previous post.
I get vouchers through work so I could more than likely get about £400 - £450 off a unit by the end of august...
I'd build my own but I had someone do that for me once before and it broked pretty quick lol. This one is now nearly 2 years old
I just wish it was useable for this game but I suppose I'm setting myself up early for Knights of the old Republic aswell
I guess it's an ok score.

added 4 more gb of ram for a total of 8gb.
on low I got 3900 on high 2418 any ideas on how I should try and up this? New processor seriously?
