The OFFICIAL FFXIV Benchmark & Beta Performance Thread

[Egon]

Uhg. I am so heart broken! I guess no one else is having crashing on execute problems?

[Gokulo]

The program can't run because d3dx9_41.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.


No idea what to do here, anybody came across this problem?

Graphic drivers most probably

My low settings bench score is 7179. Which confuses me because although Arcknight and I have almost the same GPU, our low settings scores are way different.

Non-GPU intensive programs are CPU-limited? Who'd have thought.

dxwebsetup.exe - Google it.

Surprised it played so well with only an 8800 GTS. This was on low. I have the lowest load time some how!

Yeah googled the error and got the same answer, thanks for helping.

that was my score on low

on high my score was 1036.

This was my score as well give or take a few. It still ran very well considering. I'm relieved that I feel like I don't have to rush to update my system.

Wow 1756 on high, 3241 on low. Biggest difference yet? Sorry no screens.

BTW holy CRAP this game looks amazing (yes - I'm still not in the alpha and so have never actually seen what the game renders like IRL)

there isn't any need for me to upgrade really. i was thinking about it, i could upgrade but there would hardly be any use for it; it wouldn't be a very wise investment for me right now. I really think all i would use the upgrades for is FFXIV, which is a little foolish. If i had to buy a new system to play 14, which i won't, i would just buy a ps3 since its so much cheaper than blowing 1k on a comp id play only a couple games on.

[Cooleko]

I had program crash, searched the internet for the d3dx9_41.dll it was missing placed it in the directory and it worked, however, no sound. is anyone else not getting sound? if so i will figure out how to fix it and post it for people without sound too.

high score 3062

I'm crashing after hitting the "START" button, if that is where you are as well.

[Egon]

Not bad for a very old CPU. I guess its time to stick a Quad Core in my machine.

Also I updated my ATI drivers and it fixed all my crashing issues.

Spoiler: show

For all you SLI/Crossfire users, I'm pretty new to SLI, but is it normal for one card to take the burden of the load? For the High settings, I was averaging a 95%/10% GPU usage split; for low it was closer to 90%/15%, except the first and last scenes which were around 85%/25% load.

If it's not just me, I wonder how SLI/Crossfire aligned FFXIV will end up, as the benchmark is presumably a representation of the final product code. Also, the benchmark doesn't seem to be listing my second GPU in the final screen either like it seems to be doing for ATI cards. Alternatively, this might be because of the Geforce 9800GTX+ being on the doesn't-work-well-with-FFXIV-yet list of Geforce cards, which is pretty ironic since Nvidia is hosting the benchmark.

download the DLL listed in my post

Anyone who is running have sound?

High settings (1080P)

can't do the image because I don't have 10 posts.
OS: Windows 7 64bit
CPU: Intel e6750 @3.2 Ghz
GPU: EVGA 9800GTX+
4GB DDR2 RAM @800 Mhz

Score: 1766

High 2441

Low 4040

i7 920 @3.2 and I got 2 GTX 260s on this rig but it shows just 1 on the screen dispte them being in SLI, dont think it even registered my test as SLI.... oh well GTX260 can run it great on both high/low.

Trying GTX470 SLI later.

[Celeras]

Unsure if the benchmark is using SLI/Crossfire at the moment. I have an older system with 2 8800s, and received the same score with SLI as I did with only a single card enabled. Jurys still out, will need more data from others.. but I suspect it only uses 1 GPU.

The galka in the CS isn't wearing his eye patch.

Hmmmm....

Well then if thats true a GTX260 or the currently mainstream HD 5770 should run the game with out any issues, though the shadows/lighting seems a bit off.

[gairaiden]

how would i update my drivers on radeon 5750 on windows 7?
