what was your benchmark compatibility score?

complete overkill...but ok...good for you :-|

5,170 with everything maximum; DX11, Radeon Pro 7880, Intel i5-3350P 3.1GHz.

The framerate dropped to 20 or so in the fights, but it always does that when you're zoomed unnecessarily close to them. Either way, it only tanked down a few times, and was always over 40 fps otherwise.
I'm one of those graphics > performance people, so I don't mind. Much. Either way, I'm using maxed DX11.

Not really. I do a lot of 3d modelling on this machine, hence the cpu.

7k on standard desktop DX9 but on high desktop DX11 is FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Benchmark
Score: 2702 Fairly High
1920x1080 High (Desktop) DirectX11 Full Screen
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

damn you GPU

I don't think people should worry if they get below 3k, doesn't mean you wont be able to run Dx 11, just means you will need to lower some other settings, the fps seems very smooth with dx 11 now however so random fps drops should be a thing of the past.

I'm happy enough that my 3 year old lappy can play the game at all. It wasn't exactly top of the line when I bought it, it only cost me £500 new.
Intel i7 3632 @ 2.2 Ghz
nvidia gforce 645M gpu at VRAM 1986

Laptop (high) 4764
laptop (standard) 6726
Both scores for DX9
Strangely the little performance graph thing seemed to dip lower on standard settings than on high in some places. It looked fine though and I'll be able to play so I won't be rushing out for a replacement machine just yet.

I am confused now, I ran my laptop which is a GTX770M with DX11 on lowest settings and I ended up wth a score of like 1000 (Low) result....I wonder what happened? I thought my laptop would be able to run DX11 but it seems to have a problem with it. I ran same low settings bench again on DX9 and scored 10000 (Extremely High).

Any ideas? I don't have the score anymore forgot to save it and too lazy to run it again. These the specs though...

http://i.imgur.com/GAdOIWu.jpg

dx11 9775 extremely high, that is crazy i have a old i5 2.4ghz, and a gtx 970

Except for the video card I had to replace because my old one broke my computer is more or less a piece of crap not sure why it would score that high.

This can't be right...Standard (desktop) setting, 1920x1080 ...and scored 1575 , on dx9 , i've been playing this game fine since 2.0 not trouble, i knew i wouldn't be able to run dx11, but when i can play games like EVE online max graphics, dx9, and DA:I medium graphics with no trouble, it confuses me, hell i can even play the FFXIII Steam port on max.

Maybe I should actually run the benchmark, huh...
considering when I ran the old benchmark after I had been playing and got like a 700... haha.

(Yeah I'll totally update my crap laptop. Just give me the money.)

Sounds like your laptop is defaulting to onboard video when running the DX11 Benchmark. You may want to either snoop around your power settings or check your Nvidia Control Panel and make sure the DX11 Benchmark is actually using your card.

I ran twice once maximum Dx9 and once Dx11.

I got 3735 and 2870 respectively, all on laptop hardware i7-4710MQ and Nvidia GTX 765m

Also I did one run on my HDD and one on my SSD (both Dx11) HDD load times were over 70s and SSD they were 49.25s, but the score didn't change.

Its only gimpped if your running 4k resolutions. Otherwise its fine, as the benchmarks will show ya

Your score was that high because thats a high end graphic card. Yes its true the CPU does do some of the work in 3D games,, but most is done by the GPU.

Well, I just updated my drivers (Which were more than 8 months old) and the results are quite different now.

http://i.imgur.com/DM5BUIP.png

Almost "Extremely High Performance", but I'm still not pleased. >8(

I just barely got 5000 for Dx9. My computer is well over 5 years old now (actually nearing it's 10th year soon, I believe), I don't think it would handle Dx11 very well and I'm too scared to try.

6901. I'm happy with it.

http://www.okay.me.uk/12k.png

That's at 1080 res

http://www.okay.me.uk/native.png

That ones at my native monitor resolution

My lappy runs pretty crappy on max settings @ 1080P.

Tweaking a few things (Mostly lowering AO and Shadows) helps tremendously though.

Ok I ran it.
Do I win the other prize?

For the record this is higher than I thought it would be.

Also all the characters did /upset or /disappointed at me at the end of the benchmark. Thanks guys :P

Turn down everything, went through Nvidia control panel, lowered things there, changed for peformance..bla bla bla, this is the best i could do now. *sigh*

So many with i7-4790 and a 970/980 @.@

Wonder how my i5-4590 with 7870 will do... Well, I don't play on max. settings anyway though

Thank you. I had added the exe and set it to use the discrete but I forgot the dx11 would have its own exe. I guess that is what happens when you stay up all night waiting for Au Ra creator xD too sleepy to do things right.

Try dropping the resolution? Go for 720 rather than full HD.

Well Its the PC I will play it on, not to upset. SSD helped with loadings too.

To be honest not sure if SLI was on or not (it was enabled @ Nvidia CP) because i can't get it to work on full screen, CPU: 4.70GHz :) RAM 16gb , VRAM 3.5GB

So I tried it on my shit PC.

System
Windows 8 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz
6015.543MB
Intel(R) HD Graphics (VRAM 32 MB) 10.18.0010.4061 (Intel HD Graphics 2500)

DX9 Scored at 2345 wile DX11 at 1987 at the same settings at lowest settings at 1024x768.

DX11 on maximum settings

/edit just found the Switch for "Maximum Settings"

):
"custom" meaning "everything is either low or off"

i have around 9000 points. DX11 max settings.. 1200 x 720 p..

By the way does the benchmark and game support 8 core CPU? I mean FFXIV support the eight cores of a PS4 as well..


Does it finally work with the DX11 upgrade?

Ok so is there anyway to fix this? I thought i would score higher then this to be honest.

[IMG]http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...e/HowFix_1.jpg[/IMG]

Limb Darkening and Radial Blur off, as I don't use them while playing. Other than that max.
