I knooooow. When I play The Sims 3 the weight and muscle sliders just detach their limbs instead of changing their figure!
FFXI runs fine, though.

No reason to even check the :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty comp I have currently. I'll check after purchasing a new one xD
FF11 runs fine because most of the rendering is done without using the video card. Your video card isn't really made for rendering 3D images at all, and that's why crap hits the fan when you try :p.Quote:

8 cores? Are you sure it's not 4 with hyperthreading? :p
8 Cores, 16 virtual ones with hyper-threading.
That's quite hefty.
Strange that you didn't get a matching video card ;o.
I might upgrade the video card later, but right now, this is a pretty big upgrade from my 2005 Macbook Pro. :p
Yeah that's true. I guess it makes sense to have an insane CPU but just a normal GPU in a Mac though, it's not like Apple focuses a lot on gaming for those machines :p
Teehehehehe, wana see summat funny?

I bought this laptop 4 years ago to go to uni with an run guildwars on optimum specs so out of curiosity I ran the benchmark. I was 99.9% sure I wouldn't be up to standard but didn't think I'd be that rubbish! lol Ah well, if I get it me'thinks it will be on PS3. Hopefully I can avoid the VAT increase here in the UK.
My PC froze when I tried the benchmark. :p
Ok so I've just got a new laptop for non-FF related reasons and thought I'd try the benchmark again just to see how awsome this new one is :p But it won't run and says "a problem has caused this programme to stop working" :( Could be something to do with me, I've been using windows 7 for all of a few hours and still haven't figured it all out! I went a got directx and everything :(
Windows 7 would have a recent enough directx version already. What kind of graphics card is there in your new laptop? Also, try installing and running the benchmark with administrative priviledges.
Remember they released a new version of DirectX 9 last month. I'm not sure if Windows 7 will automatically update it, but I just downloaded it manually just in case.
Honestly, the official system requirements are much lower than I thought they'd be. It's still funny to see people scramble to update their PC right now though.
Can anyone help me? I try to run the Benchmark program but it stops responding...
