    Relevant:

    CPU core speed i.e., 2.6ghz, do you even OC etc.
    Exact card type, there are a few cards in the 6900 range.
    RAM amount/clock speed to a lesser extent cause these are usually fine plugged and played but some people don't even so I usually ask anyway
    Driver version, some people are having better luck with older drivers, especially on the AMD side.

    I have 14 gigs of ram.
    I do not OC, my place is far to hot and i have no way of keeping my computer cool enough without fear of damage.
    I truly have had no need to fine tune my settings until now, everything worked perfectly with my needs.

    I will have to get the rest of the information when i get home. Although i am certain i am not using my computer to its full extent because of a gap of knowledge i am not aware. I never seem to see results that others with the similar computers are seeing.

    Well some of these people are OCing their processors up to 4ghz+

    A 6950 should score higher than a 7850, but in your case your processor is the bottleneck

    hmmmm, So i would have to upgrade my processor then? Or attempt to OC it? Because Arizona is a really hot state and its overly difficult to maintain low temperatures even on regular settings.

    Essentially yes. Your best bet would be to upgrade it. But OCing can be an option. Sometimes a painful one to the point that upgrading is easier. Especially with older boards/processors that aren't setup to where you just enter a number and click a button to be done with it.

    Also depends heavily on your cooling. OCing with high temps can lead to system failure beyond repair. I personally don't push beyond 4.0 on air and that's using high end fans with the huge heatsink the CM H212+ CPU cooler comes with. Then again I'm no hardcore OCer like some. I refuse to sacrifice life span for performance. Which usually comes with voltage increases.

    For gaming I've been recommending the 3570k to everyone as BG recommended it to me. Shit's incredible so far with my recent build. If you decide you need better cooling take a look at Noctua for case fans. I've yet to see better air cooling that comes with the silence and quality that they offer. A bit more expensive but I wouldn't settle for less. Just be aware that upgrading will mean a new motherboard, and possibly new RAM as well as the shift from DDR2 to DDR3 has been made. The rest can be recycled.

    Just a note on drivers for AMD, and I don't think this applies to 6000 series cards but I figured I should mention it anyway. On 7000 series cards at least, any drivers besides the most recent 12.3 ones have a texture flicker issue on DX9 applications, of which FFXIV is one. You might not see it on the Benchmark, but it can be an annoyance in-game if it shows up. So, while I'm not sure about older cards, people with 7000 series cards should definitely stick to the newest drivers even if it costs them a few fps (which it shouldn't, the new drivers have a few 7000 series specific tweaks that up their performance a lot).

    Thanks for the info, i will have to wait until after the game comes and determine if it is actually worth upgrading for.

    Meh, my system is slightly less overclocked but otherwise identical and I only scored around 6k. I'll have to try again in case there was something weird going on.

    You should be able to get higher than that, but it might all be in the cpu oc. On my [email protected] and 5850@875 I made 5200, but that was the extreme end I think as the scores can vary a lot on back to back runs.

    I'm a little scared of that GPU Tweak application I got with it, it doesn't seem to have much in the way of built-in safeties. It seems to struggle with some effects (like the sun-lens flare, and the aetheryte), where the counter slows down to almost nothing.

    Edit: overclocked it to 950, only got 7754, experienced light stuttering at times. Going to play with other drivers (this was with 313.93). i is sad.
    With driver versions 314.09 I got 7823. My system seems to really struggle with the gridania section. I get almost 5k in the first dungeon section, the remaining 2800'ish is distributed across the other sections, with the exceptions of Gridania.

    another edit: Overclocked it to a ghz, got 7996.

    Stuff I noticed: GPU never went above 55c (fan set to max)
    GPU usage was most of the time 40-60%, I noticed a peak slightly above 70.
    CPU load stays fairly stable around 31-35%
    damned if I know.

    The GPU-Z report is a little wonky, not sure why. Going to have to tinker with this when the weekend starts to try to figure it out. No clue where to start.

    Uh oh, didn't notice you had an FX-8350, that might be it, that CPU has good performance in multi threaded applications but it lacks on the ones that don't use all the threads available, like most games

    Long story short: rooting for the underdog, rose tinted glasses for the past, and my system has always been a work in progress, changing one component here and one component there. Kept me somewhat in the AMD court.
    I have for a while been intending to take the step over to Intel, but I was intending to wait for the next tick this summer to see what they would push out with Haswell. I didn't think the difference would be _this_ big though :/ But if this really is the bottleneck, ouchies, I need to think about this.

    (edit for spelling, 6.20 am makes for a lot of typos)

    It isn't accurately reporting the video card because of Optimus, but it is a GeForce GTX 670M. In fact, I forgot to tell it to run the test on the right card, and it actually wasn't even horrible on the integrated card (well, it was bad, but I was surprised it held up). Using a Crucial M4 500gb SSD, 12gigs of RAM, 3 gigs of dedicated VRAM. I know my score isn't super high, but this is a laptop (MSI GT70). The score doesn't really represent what I saw, and I was pretty impressed that my laptop held its own. I could obviously tell a difference between the two, but I would gladly play the game on high settings and be totally happy. Of course, I think by the time it matters, I may have moved to a desktop, so this may be totally moot. However, I know that I'll be able to play on the go if I have to.

    Benchmark doesn't report OC settings for some reason...




    This is with the new card I bought. Settings were i7-3960x @ 4.6 GHz, GTX680 with offsets +80/+500, run from a 2GB RAM disk. Scores utilizing RAM cache on Samsung F4s resulted in a score range 50-200 points lower.

    Clearly, my old GPU ( discussed in earlier post ) was my bottleneck. Previous post ( link ) provided for ease of finding.
