Show off your EW benchmark score

I'm scoring a 7685 when running on Maximum 4K full screen settings on my double Titan X in SLI system which I built and have been running since prior to Heavensward. I think this is the first time I didn't score in the "extremely high" zone on the 4K benchmark... :(

Here is my system specs:
Microsoft Windows 10 Home (ver.10.0.19042 Build 19042)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz
16252.273MB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X(VRAM 12121 MB)

Any comments on what the likely bottleneck is? I imagine it is a combination of factors with my "top of the line" 2015 build.

SLI isn't great anymore, plus Titan X's are slow by todays standards.

Would probably see bigger jumps going to a 3070 than you'd think. Not sure on how the 5930k stands up these days tho, pretty sure it was a "enthusiast" platform, which wasn't exactly good for clock speeds, which games like. I may be wrong tho.

1070ti could not keep up well with max 1440p. 13k score
I assume i get around 100+ fps in normal gameplay

Thanks for the thoughts and I'm not too surprised with the 6 year old gear. I was looking for an NVIDIA card comparison chart but couldn't find any comparing current cards to my old Titan X's.

Make sure to run it Fullscreen and not windowed. I don't know why windowed doesnt render correctly.

Ryzen 3900X
32 GB RAM
3090 FE

Interesting. I'll rerun it later. About to go to bed.

I have a fairly high score, but im also running a 1050 geforce that i got like 5 years ago. Is it worth upgrading my graphics card?

Edit: I get about a 6-7k score

I'm going to assume you running at 1920x1080 resolution and then CPU is more important.

< 1080p = CPU more important
1440p or higher = GPU more important

If this is all ypu really play probably not. Graphics card are ridiculously expensive right now. Even 10 series cards are selling for higher now than they were when they were brand new top of the line.

I would say the answer depends on your display though. If your still using a 1080 144hz display or something then I'd say it's not worth upgrading your graphics unless your planning to upgrade the monitor to go with it.

Just my opinion though. Based on the current prices

I do want it to run alittle better, but I see nothing wrong when I do the Benchmark, it isnt like.. laggy at all, it will stutter for like half a second then go back to being fine.

my screen is massive, so yea I guess 1920x1080? I normally run really well, especially during Bozja/Eureka when theres like 50+ people on my screen. but theres days where its jittery, how can I tell what I run? Im not very computer savvy so im alittle lost.

Looks like I won't need to upgrade before November....

EDIT: I tried to run it fullscreen, but even with max frame rate OFF, it won't go higher than 60 fps. Weird. The game itself will go higher than 60 fps fullscreen, though. * shrug *

I guess? You can always check in your system settings. But 1080p been the standard resolution for like a decade so most likely.

using the new endwalker benchmark
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/

it "scores" your rig depending on how well it renders a few scenes using resources from the expansion and shows off some neat stuff we'll be getting (new AF armors, mount, classes)

there is also a screenshot contest going on :

He PC games a lot more whereas I just do XIV, Borderlands, and Diablo and prefer console for everything else. My birthday's in September, though, so maybe I'll see about some upgrades for a birthday present to myself.

Advance happy birthday. And I read next year the next gen chipsets are coming out so maybe wait before upgrading to future proof your new PC more.

So usually I just game on 1080p. And ray tracing is something I don’t understand at all o.O it needs so much gpu usage and the difference is not huge.

Also kind of off-topic but did anyone play XIV with curved monitor? Is it more immersive ir distracting?
Curved and ultra wide are two technology I’m actually kind of interested in

---

Curved ultra wide is pretty immersive if you setup a minimal HUD layout. Put a trigger macro in your hotbar to swap between combat mode and immersive mode. In immersive mode, just remove almost all HUD elements, other than the macro that puts you back in combat mode, a mount, and some necessities (like minimap and duty list). Many cutscenes have blackboxes that make you go back to 16:9, but exploring the world is very nice on ultra wide. If you raid you also get what is basically a legal zoomhack too lol.

depends on which titan x you have there were a few different depending on when you bought it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Titan

I run 2:1 ratio windowed and it does squash vertically a bit imo.

If their memory is low speed / high latency it can hurt a lot since 14 is pretty latency/cpu bound. Could also have tons of crap open or weird "my settings".

Ahh that is true, I have tuned the timings on my memory.

You are correct, it seems setting max FPS limit in Nvidia control panel messes up the benchmark (mine was limited to 120 FPS due to monitor cap but benchmark was limited to 240 FPS)

updated score with limiter turned off.

https://i.imgur.com/F01ociDl.png

I am guessing the same feature on AMD GPUs will do the same thing too, for benchmark purposes, people should turn anything like this off just for it.

1080p, maximum settings.

The benchmark clearly shows more CPU bound situations and we still cannot select the "show minimum people and objects" setting that works wonders and let me get constant 60fps on my PC.
If you want 1080p@60fps at maximum settings, an RTX2060 is STILL way more than enough.

Why high desktop instead of maximum?

Literally all Maximum does is disable Occlusion Culling and there's no reason to disable it.

Edit - I will rerun the benchmarks as apparently it does change 3 other settings-

Maximum unchecks 'Use low detail models on shadows'

'Screen Space Ambient Occlusion' switches to 'HBAO+: Quality'

Anisotropic Filtering switches to 16x (shouldn't matter at all performance=wise)

Not bad for a G7 laptop that's probably a few years old.

Nvidia quit making SLI profiles ages ago and has since completely abandoned SLI itself, you're only using 1 GPU. You're also likely suffering from microstutter if you're somehow using an ancient SLI profile which shouldn't still work.

You should update Windows 10

Is your CPU overclocked ?
