Play Phantasy Star Online 2 and experience revolutionary combat in an action-driven, free-to-play multiplayer online RPG from SEGA. Take a journey into an immersive sci-fi fantasy narrative and explore mysterious worlds to unravel their secrets. Join fellow adventurers and fight against the legions of darkness to banish them from the galaxy.

Score explanation: Less than 2000: Please adjust your game settings because the processing load is quite heavy.

2000 through 5000: The game runs fine at the setting, if you have room, you can adjust some settings.

5001+: The game works wonderfully at this setting.

PSO 2 sees a slight boost in performance when CrossFire is offered, but it's nothing like we see in the other benchmarks. You can see in this instance, the GTX 780 Ti 3GB from NVIDIA manages to outperform all our AMD setups, including the CrossFire R9 290X 4GB setup.
