Did not do much for my score, got around the same

Here is an interesting compilation of hardware and FFXIV benchmark scores.

Yeah, no 6000x1080? What are they smoking!

[Kainos]

dont know if this is the right section but hoping someone can help me -

on my laptop benchmark gives me 1500ish for max settings and 3100ish for med (i will be playing on med settings)

will upgrading ram and hd affect scores to increase performance?
Currently have 250gb hdd and 4gb ram, considering upgrading to 256ssd and 8GB ram

also these are only parts i can upgrade as everything else is soldered to the systemboard

[Gulkeeva]

Video card = #1 score change pretty much 75%+ of the score changing goes here.
CPU = #2 sort of noticeable
Ram = #3 nearly unnoticeable, unless the laptop (I think most do) is sharing ram with the video card, then getting 8GB may be more noticeable.
hardrive = nonexistent score change (only affects load times, I don't think the score even considers load times of scenes)


laptops are not made for gaming, don't expect much, unless you put a lot into the laptop (and hope it doesn't catch on fire playing the game in the process)

Took damn near long enough, but not surprised they waited until midnight in LA before posting it.

I just woke up and started download. It's a 2.6Gfile and gotta wait 2 hours (><) before it's done.

Slow connection? Finished in 3 minutes for me.

It's the slow broadband, so that may be why.

haha... Can't compete against that. Since its gonna be a while for me to finish, how is the creator looking? Does it have more features than phase 3?

[Lokus]

The new "Character Creation" benchmark seems to be better optimized than the "Exploration" . I gained 2.2k on my score compared to the earlier release.

Not sure about new features (if you mean hair or something else), but you can see your character in the actual benchmark now. They appear as a Paladin fighting alongside the other characters at different points. It's a nice way to show you what they'll look like in game.

I see. Well, that's cool. Well, this still will save me time creating a char when phase 4 starts. Thanks.

You can also choose the gear your character wears in the Benchmark from PLD AF, Race-Specific, or lvl 20/30/40 tank gear.
