Would the 4.0 benchmark be dropping this week?

Think of it this way. If you can run Heavensward at medium or high settings now, chances are you can do the same for Stormblood.

That the nice thing about playing on PS4 don't have to worry about if it will run, I can just buy the expansion and install and keep playing.

As for specs, anything Nvidia ending in 80 will run XIV just fine. Generally any PC built to game within the last 5 years will run it just fine.

Only if you plan to play other games that need a graphical upgrade. And only if you got other parts that can run the games too. Best thing to do is go to GPU Boss, bring up your graphics card and compare it to another one you want and see how it works for you.

Depends on what you're playing. If it's just FFXIV, then your 980ti is way more than enough for SB. Hell, even if you play more demanding stuff, I'd still wait until the next set to upgrade a 980ti.

Don't turn this thread into a console vs pc gobpost or a spec showcase thread.
The specs on the JP website could be nothing they also listed as "temporary" so they could change later on. Yoshi didn't mention anything about graphical improvements, gameplay improvements, engine improvements or technical improvements in general (be it better grpahics, or bigger towns or areas or such) coming with SB that will require greater horsepower. The only thing he said is that they revised the minimum spec list in order to be more modern and list things you can actually buy now in the market. Unless he kept the suprise for the last Fan Fest. They also didn't mention anything about a becnhmark. Last time we got graphical improvements with DX11 and a benchmark we knew it months before they finally came. Again unless he hides everything for a big reveal later. The spec list alone doesn't mean anything unless Yoshi confirms changes which will require better machines are coming.

Yeah. the x50 series are kind of the Nivida mid-low end on desktop and the 7xx is older generation, so you're 860M even if its a mobile version should perform at least as good as the 750 if not a bit better.

---

If they're being bottlenecked by an i7-3770K I'm a bit concerned.

Aye, can play High (Desktop) usually, though have to drop to Standard (Desktop) when streaming. I think my computer just isn't very well optimised by the sounds of things... so it's a software issue rather than hardware.
