    Can you guys report some benches on how the game runs? Preferrably some screenshots as well.

    The game currently runs terribly on desktop crossfire 5850s. I can not do 1080p everything max low settings and get more than 10 fps. Even at 720p I am lagging in major cities getting about 25 fps. They said they have issues with ATI cards at the moment, and it seems like crossfire is not really supported.

    During alpha though I was fine, with about the capped fps nearly the entire time.

    at the moment I can't. I would gladly do that because the information about how this game run on laptop are very scarce... it's just that for an account problem at the moment I cannot access the beta website -.-

    I tried today with the support but as soon one mentions FFXIV beta they become quite mentally unstable LOL ;)

    That's fine no rush, whenever you guys get the chance. I'm eagerly anticipating this game, so just curious I guess.
