FFXIV ARR Benchmark Scores: Now with Character Creation

Reran at 16:9 so I could join the 8k club



This puts me about exactly even with an I7 with 4 cores. I'm not seeing any advantage with 6 cores.

so am I the only that can't seem to download the benchmark at all? I go to the download, accept the terms, and then nothing, tried multiple browsers same issue. just a "cannot display error".
/sigh
guess I'll wait to do the benchmark.

On max settings. I normally run at 2560x1440 though, and the benchmark doesn't support that. Also, since it doesn't support SLI its meh since I have 680x2. In addition, I also had my 2nd monitor running and my main monitor runs at 2560x1440 (My score would prolly be much higher if I corrected all of that stuff)

Honestly your cpu isn't *that* bad. I think You'd be fine to play with a good gpu.

[Kurokikaze]

I found out why my score was low... My OC wasn't actually working so I was still clocked at 2.8. However, when I turned on the OC to 3.8GHz my new score was 5290. It barely budged. Looks like I may need a new card. lol

FYI, I'm running latest beta drivers from ATI (13.2).

Going to try with ATI Overdrive enabled.

[Katlan]

dont see the point to tweaking to get the highest possible. its a bottom end benchmark that doesn't support SLI and a bunch of other features. if your getting 8k+ (and have SLI) I doubt you have anything you need to worry about

[Kurokikaze]

lol with default OverDrive settings I got 5241...

[chiyio]

Question to the other people with 680s, do you have the 4gb or 2gb edition. Grey Jorildyn got really amazing results with a pretty low clock speed, I'm wondering if it was because his 680 has 4gb?

[Dakin]

Still satisfied with my $200 GTX 480 - Need some help in the CPU cooler department to OC more (and I just suck at it). Don't think bumping up the OC a tiny bit will help though.

I don't OC anything, don't even know where to start. This is the exact video card I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121634

2gb model but asus is king imo

[Xanthe]

GPU seems to make the most difference with the benchmark. Overclocking my GPU (max OverDrive) netted me with an extra ~1200, but overcloking my CPU from its previous 3.9GHz to 4.56GHz only netted me another ~150. Quite the about-face from the CPU-driven FFXI.
