I think the benchmark may be a little old, seeing as it was released during Alpha testing. Additionally, it has been mentioned before that SE is biased for iNvidia parts and non-hyperthreading processors. So, anything "new" has a 50% chance of running the game, but not really helping you at all if its made by AMD or an intel CPU with hyper threading.

example: my i5-650 with a 1 gig (ddr3) nvidia 9800 GT got a 2200 on low settings and 1280 on high. This dual core processor has hyper-threading. Same processor with a 2 gig (ddr3) Sapphire radeon 4850 X2 got a 2800 on low and 1800 on high.

Simply, I now believe this benchmark to be cracked (not broken) and in need of fixing. Perhaps making it run full screen on both settings (without being windowed) would give a better result. Also, making it hyper-threading and AMD gpu compatible (as I believe the beta is now more AMD friendly; conformation please? I'm *still* not in it) would help.Then again, I'm not a software engineer or game designer, so I may not know what I'm talking about.
[size=xx-smal]But some days I think some of the people designing and making choices for SE don't know either.[/size]

Anyone care to share their Benchmark scores?
