FFXIV ARR Benchmark Scores: Now with Character Creation

[Izzy]

Just upgraded to a 7970 with 3GB GDDR5 (don't know why the benchmark keeps saying it has 4 gigs). What OC settings are you using for your card Nighteagle, and more specifically, what exact 7900 series card do you have? I haven't gotten into overclocking my video cards before simply because they always run hot as balls.

only on for a moment. Im using the 7970 Radeon 6GB GDDR5 Vapor X one. Love the Vapor X cooling shit. And I have my PC liquid cooled to help with OCing the processor a little more. currently have CPU at 4.51 ghz OCed, 32GB DDR3 2400 Ram (had some extra money so i said screw it and bought another 16 GB when i already had 16), Crosshair V MB from ROG, 64 GB SSD from crucial, and of course windows 8 pro 64 bit. Feel like it handles RAM and everything all in all better, even if the layout isnt as user friendly as windows 7 on a desktop. ill look up some of my OC info later.

I'm going to have to RMA my 7970. Keep getting random ass blue screens and overall system lag (Youtube is jerky, benchmark programs are jerky, etc.) even after reverting to the default bios.

Got a GTX 770 on the way for when I send the 7970 back. It'll be my first nVidia card ever Q_Q.

I'm very curious how you like the 770, it's probably my next card. Please let us know!

[Adajer]

I have a gigabyte 770 otw myself. I heard that the drivers are having some errors atm for 700series.

I heard good things and bad things. Mostly overheating due to fan issues. I'll just use older drivers until it gets fixed.

[Izzy]

Oh, I got the EVGA one. I looked at the Gigabyte one and decided not to only because my 7970 was a Gigabyte and it's bluescreening like crazy now.

Welcome to the green team. I just switch from AMD to nVidia recently as well, and enjoying the 780.

Quoted the wrong post, but meh. I'm using the latest drivers, OC'd, and having no problems with them.

[Izzy]

Pretty pissed because in the process of RMAing this card, I'm getting a $170 deduction in my RMA because they bundled 4 games with it that they won't let me return. Fuck I don't even want these fucking things.

So instead of getting my $400 back, I'm only getting like $230.

Are they steam keys, and did you use them yet?

[Waraji]

SO Gentlemen. Which one of you has had the solidarity to compose a GPU/Score chart?

What seems to be the "Budget" Nvidia Card to Get?
What seems to be the "Budget" ATI Card to Get?

[Izzy]

Are they steam keys, and did you use them yet?

One of them is a Steam key, the others are some shit called Origin and some other thing that I didn't use.

I'm going to e-mail Newegg and ask for money back and see what they'll do. What sucks is that I threw out all the codes and shit because they were just printed on this random piece of paper and I was like, "Welp, throwing these out. Not gonna use.".

[Adajer]

Daaaamn. so not only are you getting screwed out of $170, but you didnt even unlock the games. You, sir, just got owned. Really gotta do your research when you spend that much money.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Try to sell or trade the games on other sites.

[Adajer]

He threw them away.

[Izzy]

No amount of research is going to prevent me from getting a defective card.

[Adajer]

No amount of research is going to prevent me from getting a defective card.

True, but I kinda meant going with AMD in general. :O JK, I mostly meant the deal with the free games (how they are distributed, how to sell them if you dont want them, and what happens if you want a refund)

Were you trolling about not knowing what Origin is?

I ordered 2 day shipping for my card, but it is taking 3 days. Newegg CS told me to file a delay claim when I get it and I will get full refund of shipping charges.

I also think it is quite lame that Nvidia isn't giving away Metro LL for 700 series cards, but they are for 600 series.

[Izzy]

I know what Origin is, but it's fucking stupid. Basically a shittier Steam imo.

[SamanosukeShiva]

and it's owned by EA. No one likes EA.
