Benchmark is telling us something...

The benchmark is telling me that the DX11 client still thinks that multi-AMD GPU setups can die in a hole. Cold and alone. DX11 client had me paying out unemployment for my 2nd 7950 in the past and now I'm stuck in the same situation with my 2nd 390 now...

*sad face*

I mean, I'm only just south of 9000 on my score.

I got a 4841 score but w/e I play on PS4 anyways.

My system is around 4 years old, I7 2600K w/ 8gb ram (I had 16 until a stick died a year back) but I've kept up on my GPU with a 1070 8gb.

It's apparent that XIV is GPU reliant, more than CPU or even ram, I scored 14.9k on the benchmark with everything at max @ 1080p.

Edit: I couldn't seem to embed the image of the benchmark for reference, so here's a link to the image.

Your URL shows its the dektop high preset, not the maximum preset. Overclocking my CPU just 100 mhz got me an extra 400 points on the benchmark. There is quite a bit of CPU usage in game.

Edit: Just ran the benchmark with maximum preset, only difference was that Occlusion was turned off, here's the image of that score, I took a 600 pt hit from occlusion:

think people are flipping the fack out >.> I got 4700 ish with my current rig at 1080p and max settings. This means i can still play at the same "comfort" I can atm 30+ fps at 1080p, it is a far cry from "unplayable". Do not get me wrong i do plan on some upgrades but now I don't feel it is a "necessity" it will be something i wanna do (probably going r5 then a gpu later on)
