I'd just like to point out that the cell processor isn't 6 cores technically its 8. One is disabled and one reserved by the OS. I would accurately say it's 7 cores because performance is based overall while having to do everything it needs to run. The 8th core is used in case of manufacturing defect in one core.

I'm going to be surprised if the PS3 plays this game on max settings. I've nvr seen a game on a console have better graphics then a good gaming PC, but that's just my personal experience. -
03-22-2011, 08:46 PMPoint_ZeroHey Akira have you invested in an after market cooler? Or considered a mild over clock on that 950 of yours :) lol put that baby to work ^^Quote:

You wouldn't believe how well the game runs on this. Low benchmark was 2340, and I get 30-40fps in the field and 17 in Uldah. -
03-22-2011, 09:07 PMIssacharDoesn't need to play it on max, since 1280x720 with everything on standard is supposed to be the "default" settings for the game, and the PS3 version is 720pQuote:

I just built a new rig as well.
i2600k
8gigs ripjaw DDR3 1600
SLI GTX 460's
80gig intel SSD
Corsair H70 liquid cooler
Corsair 750w PSU
MSI-P67GDA mobo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1080p
4x AA
Max drawing
Ambient Occlusion off
DoF off
Max textures
Shadows off
Unfortunately my overall impression is disappointment(I spent a nice chunk of change on this machine). At these settings I get 55-60 fps in the field, and 35-50 in town. The video cards are an extreme bottleneck. My CPU sitting at stock speeds hovers around 40% usage with slight bumps in the 60's. So no need to overclock it. I did get a stable prime95@ 4.8 with it, but tuned it down to 4.5 since I was more comfortable with 1.275v and just this morning I shut it off completely.However at those speeds it really only dropped my CPU usage to mid 30's. And I saw no improvement really, so at the time im writing this...Im at stock speed. When my GPU's are no longer the bottleneck, I will overclock the rig again.
As for my thoughts on ram: Anything past 1600mhz ram is pointless unless your benchmarking and want that extra .2% in your score.
SSD: absolutely worth it! I dual log XIV, one with a traditional drive; times between zones is definitely noticeable. Login is also significantly faster on the SSD rig.
By toggling shadows on/off I really only see a 2-3 FPS increase, honestly I think they suck so they are off anyways...but thats just me. I forgot my FFXIV benchmark, I think it was 4450ish @high resolution. I suppose for folks who are curios I can do one with and one without the overclock. But The true bottle neck is the GTX460's. So if your going to buy a video card, dont bother with two cheap ones. One expensive card, (while scores less on future mark) will allow you to get a nice mate for it later on down the road. AS for me, Im really buthurt about my GTX460's cause all I heard was, "Runs my game great!" BS. Im a perfectionist, and I want 60fps on max settings. Ill wait till the 600 or 700 series cards come out. Hopefully we will see a real improvement, because the last few generations from ATI and Nvidea have been a real disappointment in improvement. What happened to Moores law?
PS how did you get the game to run in 3d on your nvidea glasses? I got me a pair as well. -

That's right a laptop.
I'll probably move to the PS3 once that's out switching between the two. -

I'm running a simple rig.
AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE unlocked to a quad-core and OC'd to 3.5 ghz
eVGA GTX 460 1 gig version
4 gigs DDR3 RAM
500 gig 7200 RPM HD
I built it as a replacement for my laptop, which is on its last legs, and for gaming, which it does an admirable job of.
I'm running FFXIV at 1600x900 res with everything save that new draw quality option and MSAA at max, with Ambient Occlusion off, and I can get some decent framerates. I'm pretty sure that save for net congestion issues, I've never gone lower than 30 fps. -
03-22-2011, 10:05 PMVixi use an asus G73 as my second gaming rig. does pretty nice actually. real bang for the buck machine.Quote:

Yeah I will be honest even with 2 GTX 570 I still take a hit at times. For some reason this game is really tough on cards, at least in a SLI aspect because there is no true SLI profile. I believe the one I am using was possibly made for crisis and I just cut and paste it over. Another thing is I think maybe it may be limitations to your 460's though they are not terrible cards, they are no 6690, and GTX 590, or even a 470 or 480 for that matter. You may need to cut your losses and just get a new single card after. Oh as far as Nvidia 3D I have a 120hz monitor which I am sure you know you need, all I did was did the setup in the Nvidia Control Panel. Enable it. And after the game loads up press the hot key that is set in the control panel to play. For me it is CTR+T. You can even set it to run as the game loads through the Nvidia control panel. Keep in mind that also takes a small hit on resources.Quote:

03-23-2011, 12:24 AMPoint_ZeroSince you are buying a new socket I dont know if I would go as far as to buy a 1366 for the 950. Also the I7-950 in no way can be OC to 5ghz, I think you are talking about the Sandy Bridge CPU the 2600k for the 1155 socket. Which can be OC to 5GHZ which in that case is dual channel so you probably only want 8GB ram. I would say the Rampage Extreme is a bit of overkill if you do end up going for the 1366. I really would suggest going with the 1155 sandy bridge or if you are waiting long enough waiting for the AMD bulldozer stuff. Dont know if the is going to be a new socket or AM3 will do. They are saying Bulldozer is suppose to be a beast of a CPU. Or if it long enough even wait for the second socket for the Sandy Bridge, the 1366 equivalent for Sandy Bridge, which should be coming out at the end of this year.Quote:

Asus P7P55D-Deluxe w/ Intel Quad Core i5 @ 2.8ghz, Stock processor fan
Corsair (some fancy name) DDR3 4GB
nVidia GeForce GTX460 768MB GDDR5
Haitachi 500gb SATA2 HDD
21" 1080p Monitor, 42" 1080p TV, 19" Monitor
Run FF14 @ 1600x900 Windowed Mode, No AA, everything else maxed, Ambient Occlusion off (sometimes it stutters on the FPS when its on, though not always).
I have no idea how many FPS I run at, but the only time I notice any stuttering or system lag is for about 5 seconds when I first log in, if its in a city. Otherwise, smooth sailing on the way. I already had the HD TV. The system cost me about $1,000, because I also got the second HD monitor and a new wireless keyboard/mouse setup, speakers I didn't need, etc. Overall cost was just under $1,200USD. I got my computer with work in mind, but specifically designed to run FF14, which is the only game I run on this computer. -

Only get 5,300 on High benchmark.
If someone could tell what i need to change, that would be great. I'm thinking the change between intel and amd CPU's would add a couple thousand points to my benchmark score. -
03-23-2011, 01:49 AMJudge_Xero
I'd recommend changing the Nvidia settings to "Use Application Settings". I'm not too sure how they work with the Benchmark. If you have it set to be Max through Nvidia and you run the Benchmark, then your score probably isn't bad. I'm not too sure what base settings the Benchmark uses. Have you run other Benchmarking programs? I see you have your CPU well overclocked and on H2O, but if you don't have your voltages right, then it may not be running as stable as it could. I'd recommend lowering your O.C. to 3.6-3.7 which runs fine on stock voltages to see if your score improves. I imagine you should be able to get high 5's or low 6's with that setup. Other than that, your gameplay seems to be fine with the specs you gave, so it's probably just the Benchmark is screwy.

03-23-2011, 02:00 AMPoint_ZeroTurning Aero Desktop off made you get 8995 High Resolution? I really dont see how that is possible. I would like to see screens no offense or anything but a 5770 or a 6970 is not that much of a beast. I will try turning my Aero off which should give me like 10k if thats the case lol.Quote:

The main reason I posted all the stuff about me was to show what I wanted to see from others. What do you run FFXIV on Vesper? -

I built mine on a budget, trying to keep under $500.
CPU: AMD Athlon II X 4 @ 2.6ghz
MB: ASUS M4A785TD-M
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333mhz
PSU: Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W
GPU: Radeon HD 5570 (I thought it had HDMI when I bought it, stupid me. I have to use a display port to HDMI converter.)
HDD: 250GB Seagate 7200 RPM
Case: NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
DVD: Can't remember. Lite-on? Sony? Not that it matters much.
OS: Windows XP SP3. Yes, I know about the memory limitation. I need to upgrade to W7.
I play fullscreen on a 42" Vizio at 1920x1080, with the background drawing distance set to high, normal drawing set to standard, and the textures set to standard. I can turn these up to high but I start chopping a little. I prefer a smooth framerate to excellent visuals.
Finally, for input I use a PS3 DualShock 3, and a Logitech K350 wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse. -
03-23-2011, 03:38 AMdarkstarpoet1ok ya have a few questions.Quote:

for the 580 i really don't run complete max settings, but have tested and get around 45 in ud even on max settings with alot of people. i will say it is a drastic step up from the 260 superclocked edition i upgraded from though.
my score on high settings on the xiv benchmark is 4598 and low is and low is 4666 with the card running at 53 degree temps.
on the keyboard i absolutely love it and will own one after another until i stop being allowed to buy them. the interchangable keyboards from a regular keyset to the game keyset is awesome. i started in console games and use a controller for games such as xiv, but for fps shooter games the huge movement keys is hard to beat for fast response. i have been fps gaming for probably the last 5 years so it fits the going back and forth perfectly. the only downside it has is the game keys takes some getting use to if you get lazy like me and don't change to the regular keyset often. -

For me it is more of the way the keystrokes feel.Quote:
