Like ARR had to turn down a bunch of stuff.

Well I've just built a PC which has a higher spec than the one I used to play ARR on and even that one did better than what you're talking about - didn't have time to look into it before I had to come into work. My graphics card isn't fantastic but it's decent and again runs ARR very well with shadows and high settings etc and again is better than my old rig.

I play the game at 1440p, but decided to do some passes at 1080 for comparison to other people since 1440 is still pretty uncommon it seems. Normally run with Transparent Lighting Quality set to Normal rather than High, but for the benchmark I kept it on max.

Fail is that I was doing about as well with Dx11, but it caused my card to overheat and crashed my display driver.

I need my 2nd 780 back D:< if this is similar to the first benchmark, my 1440p DX11 score should be around 10k after accounting for scaling, though DX11 may scale a bit better since it's running on a different profile

**Xanthe** · 2015-04-27 07:31

My only upgrade since the A Realm Reborn benchmark is going from a Radeon 7970 to a GTX 970 (and Win7 to Win8.1). Nothing is overclocked at the moment.

**Taim Meich** · 2015-04-27 07:35

Good enough!

Although, considering the scores around, I guess "very high" is the new "poor peasant".

**Gulkeeva** · 2015-04-27 08:09

Pretty much what I expected with a several year old video card the Nvidia 670

June should probably have the 980 Ti/390X video cards out to buy, so thats the upgrade I'm looking forward to!

Running this on my old laptop, asus k53ta, it was a stuttery mess in dx11 (pretty old drivers) but was fine with dx9. Used "standard" laptop settings (lowest end defaults).

**Katlan** · 2015-04-27 09:04

why are some of the settings greyed out for me? I have DX11, yatta yatta, and my comp can more than handle anything XIV throws at it

nvm i derped I had to check DX11... just woke up... need coffee before I post

**Cutriss** · 2015-04-27 09:08

PSA: If you're running the Win10 Tech Preview, make sure SLI is still on (if applicable). I just ran it and was rather disappointed with the results (performance was fine), and then realized SLI had been turned off this whole time.

If anyone is having an issue getting the benchmark running some peeps are finding turning off Guildwork app helps.

**Kicoe** · 2015-04-27 09:33

No reason to upgrade just yet I guess.

Gulk, we both run at the same resolution and that's a lot for our lower score compared to others w/ worse rigs. Like my Comp is better than Sono's all around but the resolution shows for a much lower score obviously. Also, it reads my 980 SC 2.0 GPU as 3068 VR when it really has 4068 for some reason.

Relatively happy with that score, not the best but will do me nicely.
