Well I know my laptop can't run it, all I get is a black screen and all I hear is the people talking and the sound of an ocean. Thank God I have a PS3 lol.

2736 on a 9800GT Akimbo on standard settings. 4328 when Maxed overclock. I wouldnt dare run it in its prime for longer then a few hours though.
No idea if he can answer that (EDIT: guess he could), but my score on low was 3716 and 2508 on high. The alpha ran at 1280x720 with whatever they deemed to be reasonable settings (I can guarantee no AA at the very least.) The textures were definitely a bit higher than the low quality video, but not maxed out I'm sure. With that my ATI HD5770 + a Phenom II 940BE with 4gb of ram stayed at about 15 fps no matter what and often dipped even lower.
So the 9800GTX+ was quite possibly the best card ever made and yet so many burn up after a single year of use...
3494 with the low resolution. my monitor only supports up to 1280x1024
the bench seems more cpu dependent.
My computer is more than enough to run this.
He's correct the benchmark stayed between 30% to 50% CPU usage during the entire benchmark on my computer...
Edit - My score jumped up 44 points by disabling Windows Aero during the benchmark... Windows does this by default when games are in fullscreen mode anyway since Aero uses some of your GPU power but since this benchmark is in window mode Aero does not get disabled... Didn't jump up much but it was interesting to see how Aero affects the GPU during the bench...
Here's the whole interview, translated with some broken English:

It is and as I have said before my guess is that they need to rework the code so that the shaders do not stress the gpu as much.
There is a bad code which is affecting how well the cards are running computations and shaders is my guess for the main factor.
This matches up with why a 9800gtx+ and a GTS250 (rebadge 9800gtx+) are sometimes receiving higher scores than a GTX 480.
The 9800GTX+ scores are almost twice as high as other video cards in computation benchmark scores.
Yah it was easy to spot that troll.
I will have to see in beta if they made any changes other than upping the visual settings a little.
Looks like they basically added more bloom and a little higher quality textures.
