Thanks for the heads up but I am scared to test my computer. If I were to benchmark my system I would soon find out it is slow and that everyone else in the world has a faster computer than me. Looking at the minimum system requirements alone makes me feel sad seeing as I am at the low end of these requirements.

I've seen the thing run on an Geforce 6800LE, an Ati Radeon x800xt and an x800 pro. All of them had a lot of trouble getting anything like decent framerates in the tests. Therefore, anything less than current top-of-the-line cards will make you cry...

Yeah, I would not suggest this for any 9800's.
I just ran it and got 2481
My sys specs are:
3.2GHz P4 Prescott
1 GB DD SDRAM
Creative Audigy Sound card
Nvidia GeForce 6800 256-bit 128MB memory
WindowsXP Pro SP2
200 GB WD HDD w/ 8MB cache IDE

I posted a thread about it last night. I'll be running this as soon as it finishes WITH MY BRAND NEW 6800 ULTRA AHHH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

I just hope my processor doesn't bottleneck it. With a score of over 10,000 in 3D Mark 03, I'm guessing my PC will do decent on this one.

For the record, NVIDIA currently holds the record after one-day of release with a score of 7,500-something with <B>two</B> PCI-E SLI linked GeForce 6800 Ultras.

Done and done! This benchmark raped my system!

NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT @ stock (haven't OC'ed it back after the format)
768 MB of PC2700 RAM

3DMark 2001 = 16,500
3DMark 2003 = 10,205
3DMark 2005 = 3,696

OC'ed my GT from 350/1000 MHz to 427/1200 MHz and brought my score up to 3744. I need a new processor.

Overclocked my CPU from 1.8 to 2.2, got:

3872

I could probably tweak the CAS latency on the RAM and make it to 3900

4000 would be awesome.......
