FFXIV ARR Benchmark Scores: Now with Character Creation

[Sephiroth]

I know not many people visit the OFs but they are compiling a chart too like we are. Someone linked me to it last night.

I really like the fact that they seperated it by GPU. This game seems to depend on it more than FFXI did

Now I know my score should double when I go from 4850 512MB to a 7850 2GB (Processor Phenom x4 II 955 3.2GHz)

[Kurokikaze]

Dang no one with a 7850 has gotten higher than 5900 lol

[Krandor]

Gave it a spin on the desktop I finished yesterday. Ran it off my HDD instead of the SDD, gonna move it to the other drive when I get home from work.

GTX 680



Edit: stock clocks on everything ATM, haven't gotten around to ocing anything yet.

You sound like you have a card that OC's pretty well Kuro, you might want to try this if you're that bent on hitting 6k. It moves the upper limits on OC'ing.

I'll give that a shot when I'm at home. Thanks. XD

If anybody is wondering what a 9000 score equates to:

20-35fps in town, 15-40 outside town in clusterfucks of people fighting squirrels. 60 if you face a wall though!

yay first day of beta

Dammit this sucks, it should not be running this badly on maximum settings. Anyone able to to see a possible problem to raise my score? Especially the framerate.

Update your video card drivers?

Update your video card drivers?

Everything is updated, not sure what else to do besides spending money and buying new hardware. Which is not something i feel like doing at this time.

[Hellfury]

Meh, unspecified delays on the Titan I ordered, testing the benchmark will have to wait :/

[Alkimi]

Not sure. From your specs it looks like it should be a lot higher anyway, considering I got close to that on a 3 year old PC with an i5 processor and 5800 series card.

Mooshy also wrote that he was having much lower than expected performance on an AMD Quad Core. There haven't been many results posted from AMD CPU users but the ones I have seen have all been posting very subpar numbers.

I'm having a strange issue. Running the game/benchmark on max is powering down my entire machine. I recently upgraded to a gtx660 and a new power supply. Setting it down to high settings the game runs fine but after about five minutes on max my machine just turns off. It's not over clocked, it's not over heating, seems strange the actual machine would power down and not just the game, the only time it's happening is when the machine runs the game. I took apart the case checked all the connections, cleaned all the fans, updated all the drivers everything seems right. Setting it down to high settings i can play for hours on end. I'm fine with playing it on high, I was just hoping to pinpoint the cause of the issue as I hope it doesn't start doing it on other settings.

Any thoughts?

[Deuce]

Is it shutting off completely or is it blue screening and then shutting down?

[Nadrojj]

Shutting off completely. No blue screen. After I took it apart I noticed that the surge protector that it was plugged into was pulled half out of the wall and was like wow I'm an idiot shit just wasn't plugged in. I started back up and played for 3 hours straight. Logged for a bit to take a shower got back in game and after five minutes it powered down completely again. So the surge protector couldn't have been it.

[Deuce]

If it isn't blue screening then it might be an issue with your Power Supply. I know in your above post you said it was new, but sometimes they can start to go bad pretty early. If you have a spare PSU I would try using that assuming it can handle the new GFX card. What is the PSU model and brand by the way?

[miokomioko]

Every single time I've had an issue with my system powering down unexpectedly or not powering on consistently, it was the power supply. Buy a hefty Corsair and kiss those problems goodbye.

This is what I recently picked up like two weeks ago:

I'll look into a new one. Thanks for the feed back guys.
