So I'm interested to see the performance differences between different setup's in this game and so decided to start this top list!

Settings: (Ultra High!)

Benchmark: Playback (Demo Ranch) (AI:On)

DX9 OR 10 No AA

I have found that results do not change when selecting more than 1 loop so for this test 1 loop is fine. Just a screeny like I have posted below would be fine.

No Screenshot no entry! :p

any chance of a screeny m8?
 
Be interesting to see results for a game that hasn't been optomised more for nvidia cards than ati. Warhead and crysis threads were farcical in terms of the obviously skewed results.
