The OFFICIAL FFXIV Benchmark & Beta Performance Thread

[Kyrra]

I just downloaded it and all the files are still dated June 14 or earlier. So no update.

[DDj]

Never used afterburner till today, while runing xiv bench it does show both gpu (sli gtx 9800) being used around the same amount. Have not updated xiv bench.

[Celeras]

SLI has always been functional with the benchmark people, but it requires tweaks.

[Jonny]

idk maybe it was the nvidia drives but it seems to work much better,
since i was getting a shit ton of micro stutter before
now its smooth as silk

[Katlan]

test it in game tonight and report back

[addiecoop]

what is error code 1014? it says a display error has occoured. i was running it fine before latest update

[shaddix]

Ok. character select screen with no characters.
this is windowed mode 1280x960, 8xcsaa, shadows on medium, everything else high. AO/DOF/whatever the other is turned OFF
120fps
18% gpu usage, 66% cpu on both cores.
My system again for reference:
[email protected], ddr2 4gb @930mhz. gtx 460@890/1780/4000 core/shader/mem

Right after initial cutscene I'm standing right where you start at the boat overlooking the npcs below deck.
gpu and cpu both pegged, 36-37fps. NO MORE 30 FPS CAP :D

I look at the ground.... 70fps!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

[Celeras]

Tests are done, data incoming in 10 minutes or so.

The framerate is now UNCAPPED.

[Pikarya]

Glorious day.

[shaddix]

I can't get my shit to be gpu bound, even out in the field around bearded rock. Running 1920x1080 16xQcsaa everything on high shadows on highest. dof/ao still off. Getting like 25-30fps. cpu gpu both pegged ._.;;;;;;;;;; fucking dual core! I'm ordering a quad off ebay right now.

[Celeras]

Data is up in OP, images are hosted in a safe place.

Most noticeable difference is that huge dropoff on max, and that theres basically no performance hit between the 'standard' and 'enthusiast' tests. And my GPU is running about 20'C higher than it did in beta lol(edit: even on standard, my GPU usage was pinned at 99%. I was never above 65-70% in phase 2 of beta.)

But assuming no SLI

[sruon]

Glorious day.

Couldn't put it better, going to log in a few minutes to test this shit out.

[Drakath]

But assuming no SLI

SLI still does not function properly, unfortunately

[FerBedolla]

But assuming no SLI

Yep pwned because of the DX9, i'll be forced to play @ FullScreen Mode.

[Katlan]

Does natural SLI at least work in full screen mode? If not, I still have hope since they uncapped fps, but it's getting late

[Drakath]

It's working the exact same way for me as before, even with fullscreen. Main GPU is running at 90%+, second is anywhere between 20-40% (it seems to get to 40 when my ingame settings are extremely low, closer to 20 when they're higher).

[Celeras]

Does not work at all when I tested. Anybody else got any comments on performance other than my numbers? Wanna see comparisons!

[sruon]

1920x1080 with no AA, Shadow on lowest and rest on standard got me a solid 50-70 FPS about everywhere with my overclocked GTX260

Going to run more tests tomorrow but as I said in other topic, no FPS cap = <3 3 times as much.

[Katlan]

Yeah that doesn't make sense for it to work (insignificantly) for drak but not for u celeras, I'll post on beta forums when I get home & report what ppl say.
