Cpu is already overclocked from 3.2 to 4 ghz.
It stays at 4 ghz. :P

that is a huge boost, wow! I also noticed you got the same cpu as me, what changes did you make to get it to 4.0ghz?

how much more heat is it generating at 4.0? and are you using the stock fan for it still?

Oh I am using a Skythe Mugen 2 air cooling. Nominal temps but it's sitting at around 1.35 volts.
On normal cooling, the cpu would fry. XD
I idle at like 55c.
i7's run hot.

Really it's quite a few things you need to change, depending on your motherboard.
Mostly just some settings in bios.
Honestly a moderate overclock, with aftermarket cooling, is totally reliable.
Standard coolers are horrible..lol

I see, I never really played with over clocking my pc's for this reason, I simply don't know enough about over clocking and would most likely fry my components the first thing I OC'ed lol.

A 670 is practically as good as a 680 and like 100 bucks cheaper.

Or you could just get a Titan, lol.

Absolutely right..
If you intend to play at 1920x1080 or lower, a 670 is the way to go.
The performance is virtually identical.

lol Titan is a monster.. eesh...

As for worrying about frying your PC with an overclock.
Overclocking is easy. Just as long as you take it slow and you monitor temps.
It's almost common sense.
You can just look up a guide and use that as a reference, as to what you need to do, for your cpu/mobo combo.
Take it step by step..
Installing the aftermarket cooling can be fun and it looks cool too. :P

But don't let me talk you into breaking your computer..lol..

I will play it safe, I will go buy the gtx680 SC edition as its already OC'ed for me, and see my scores, If I score 8000+ than I will keep the card, If I score below 8k than I will return the card.

I'm expecting us to have very similar scores. You should run this game very nicely. :)

Can't wait to see your score with the 680. Thanks for the post.

8247 1920x1080 with the maximum settings box checked. i5 2500K@4.3Ghz, SSD, GTX680 standard clock, 8GB DDR 1600.
8445 same setting with mild OC on GPU.

is your GTX 680 the 2G or the 4G model. So far it looks like the 2G models are getting higher scores (Factory settings) over the 4G models. Which would make sense due to the 2G models having slightly higher speeds.

Lol dam your attention to detail! ..
Good eye.. XD..

High is good.. I like being high.. I mean.. You know, getting high scores.. yea.. scooorreess...

I just did the benchmark with an i7 3770k and a Nvidia GTX 570 and I got 9000.... That was on everything max. Not sure why you got so low lol.... I am buying a 680 in a few months... I hope I get better scores than my 570 :(

The game favors strong processors. Been seeing this a lot with the bench..
That 3770 is pulling weight. o7
Vs an i7 960, I can understand why your score is that high.

I wasn't thinking about upgrading my computer, cause I dont have a whole lot of money and im not very tech savy with actually building a computer. But after researching some I think I may only have to get a new graphics card, and not have to get anything else. Would anyone be able to help me out in seeing if my computer could actually handle this type of graphics card or referring me to another cheaper graphics card that would significantly increase performance and allow me to play on max settings no problem?

my specs that i think are most needed are:

Motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/prod...id=3786&m=n#ov

Only reasion I am including my motherboard is because i dont fully understand if mine will work cause i see alot of ppl saying its a PCIe 3.0 but it will work on a PCIe2.0 which I think is what mine has.

CPU: I have a AMD Phenom II Xi6 1090t
GPU: I have a NVidia GTX 460
RAM: I have 8 GB's
PSU: 800 watts - I included my power supply cause idk if i would have enough power i have been doing a little research on the 680 and i see lots of conflicting results saying that 800 watts would be enough, and some saying i would need over 1000.

Again after reading everyones scores and comparing my system with everyone elses, I have come to the conclusion I will be able to play FFXIV: ARR on max settings smoothly if i just upgrade my graphics card, but not 100% sure. If someone could tell me if im right or wrong it would be much appreciated thank you very much.
