Heavensward Benchmark Scores

[Patriarch]

Actually happy with the score. Mid-model asus rog laptop, ran XIV at max on DX9 at a solid 55-60 fps. May dim things down a little with DX11, but I've never really cared about running things at ultimate settings, so this is fine with me!

Mine was run in fullscreen, but it seems like maybe scores have been showing a bit higher in borderless windowed (what I usually play). I still need to run mine in borderless windowed.

Edit: I want more power compared to everyone's ~10k+ :/

[Elizara]

Okay, I d/led to check myself (I'd actually used the original bench for one of my first attempts at a stress test when I first had this machine built). Here's my spec.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...hmarkscore.jpg

Considering this was a budget gaming PC in the first place, and one I mean to upgrade as time goes on and I get more $$, I don't think that's bad!

**Resolution Corrected to 1842x1026 due to Overscan**

Unsure why, but my SLI doesn't seem to be working on the benchmark as 1 GPU is taking the full load, yet others i've seen on reddit appear to be using SLI successfully.
Either way, I expect these numbers to go up once the retail version is released.

Yeah, it is actually, the thing works great

Nice to know that it works and earned a "High" score.... thanks!

[Oreth]

Id love to know why my results are somewhat low give my system specs?

Im guessing its probably my GPU? I'm looking at some people running on laptops etc and even then their result is not that far away from my 1920 x 1080 - DX11 - Maximum settings. Anyone agree that it may be the GPU or something else possibly?
