FFXIV ARR Benchmark Scores: Now with Character Creation

[bluefan]

Yeah, believe they (Yoshida pretty sure) said a barber system is coming, just won't be there until after launch.

[Xanthe]

I'm hoping the item is re-obtainable and not just a once-ever thing for legacy players.

Being able to redesign our characters (with limited frequency) is something we really should be able to do given that most people will only ever play 1 character.

That is for character redesign for Legcy peeps. I am talking about full on barbershop ( kind of like what is in WoW) where you can change your hairstyle, not appearance, as much as you want.

To be 100% clear (because there's all sorts of confusion with EVERYTHING right now), this is for legacy characters with a lower-case "L". Any 1.0 player will get the Fantasia potion ONCE.

[Sephiroth]

I don't know if I like the way they are handling the character redesign. A potion? You just know some people will hold on to that for years, take some LS bank and redesign their character. Hopefully there is a time limit on using it.

GOOD IDEA! Thanks!

[miokomioko]

All they have to do is remove the item from the game in a set # of months.

Eh, their lodestone page would give them away.

4770K @4.4GHz just for bench too be honest I don't like going over 1.3Vcore I normally just leave it @4.3GHz lost the silicon lottery on that one pretty bad.
Asus DCU 1228/7100
Maybe its just me but comparing bench between my 60Hz and 144Hz screen I found the 144Hz to be a lot smoother so will probably just stick with that until the tech on higher resolutions get better.

based on its description the only thing you are changing is your appearance.. so you're probably still trackable with your name. considering they're two word names, it a lot more unique and probably enough to be identifiable.

We've been told that they would give us a name change to go along with the character remake. Whether that will happen via the drink or not is yet to be seen, however, but it'd make sense if it happened at the same time.

I'm going to be bugging the shit out of you guys when my 3770K comes. I got my i7 930 to 4.0ghz and literally never looked back. I don't even know if there's anything different about overclocking Ivy Bridge processors.

[Sephiroth]

Eh, their lodestone page would give them away.

Good point. I guess even if they changed character name they'd still have the same character ID so trackable that way. Given that it's not really an issue.

And this is supposed to be an AMD Gaming Evolved game? Starting to feel better about switching to Nvidia, too.

To be fair 7970s are priced lower than 770s and they perform about the same with 7970 coming out ahead at higher resolutions. And at all other tiers AMD does offer the better performance / dollar. Unless you really want to throw money at titans / 780s which AMD won't have anything in terms single GPU to compete head to head with until around October.

Go to to BIOS, change multiplier to 43, save changes and exit, done.

If you don't make it to desktop apply more voltage to Vcore. Although with hyper 212 I probably wouldn't go past 1.3V so baby steps and usually 1.2V is enough for 4.5GHz which usually the ideal voltage to stick with.

[Ratatapa]

here's the 1.0 benchmark if you wanna compare the 1.0 and 2.0 and cry about how the game was before

Is it seriously that fucking easy? lol

My 930 is running at 4.0 at exactly 1.3V right now. Any higher and the temps go insane.

[Chio]

Just take it one step at a time Izzy. I tried 5.2Ghz with 4770K but during the boot I saw the most scariest RED screen of death lol!

Finally did the 780 SLIs, but run into some trouble vs. single card setup. The results are well... ok I guess...
