what was your benchmark compatibility score?

the
thingum
that lets you know how well you can run it
my tech lingo is near nonexistent excuse me
im personally curious to see how other peoples computers are handling it

i got a performance rating of 2773 fairly high

Well, looks like it's time to replace my old GPU now. I've got 5676 (Very high) running it with max settings, DX11, with a 1920x1080 res. I'm not satisfied. >8(

9415 on max settings with DX11 16x9

Same here! I want to be i the 9000+ from the looks of the scores. a GTX970 or a R9 290 should do it

oh gosh i feel like my computers a potato now qaq
it even has the fanciest graphic card the darn thing can hold without having to go out and buy an entirely new computer
it may be time for a processor upgrade hrrrumph

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Benchmark
Score: 7141 Extremely High
1920x1080 Maximum DirectX11 Full Screen
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670

My Poor Laptops GTX675M's gave me a 5900 score with DX11 and an 8k with DX9 with reduced settings :S
Hope those new GTX980M's i ordered will fix that :O

My PC as always is over 9000! (10594 :3) and thats with a pair of 3 yr old GTX690s.

Since I have a GTX 550 TI...So need a new GPU lol. Planning on getting a 960 since I don't have THAT much cash for a 300$+ card

My i5 2500k is OC to 4.4GHz

I know that my bottleneck lies primarily in my CPU, as my GPU isn't able to use its full potential. But that's for later

I'm in love with Nvidia, so I guess I'll just go with a 970GTX. =( LET'S INCREASE OUR NUMBERS! 2 months left. ♪

could anyone give me some tips on how to improve my score? is it possible?
go easy on the tech lingo though alright just pretend im a brick wall and speak slowly < A>

What are your current specs? Just screenshot the text under "visit the official website" in the Benchmark. Or click in "save score" and copy paste everything there here.

The difference between prices got me for now. I know the GTX980 will least for longer but I think I can't currently afford one. Since I live in Argentina, prices here are quite different than other countries in the world. :(

Is that valid or the good old Alt+Tab trick?

Welp... my whole computer could do with an upgrade. If only I had teh muny. But I don't, and frankly, it runs smoothly at max settings, so I don't even really care that much.

Well, for starters, click on Settings and the Graphics Settings 1 tab, right on top, there's that drop-down menu called Graphics Presets, you can try to see how your computer performs with lower settings. I would suggest tinkering with the individual settings, if you have the time and patience. Other than that, on the hardware side - upgrades. CPU and RAM (that would probs also mean a new motherboard), graphics card, maybe get a SSD if you don't yet have one... but all those get real costly real fast. \:

>_> ARR benchmark when it came out, I got over 9000! but this one I can barely break 3.1k...with the same pc :/ Though with dx11, I get less frame rate issues than dx9. Think my pc might be crapping out even though it's fairly new, considering the frame rate issues didn't start up until around 2.2 D:

Pretty bad, but then my computer is pretty bad so it's about what I expected.

It does say in the description that the previous benchmark score was based on FPS alone. This one calculates it based on the overall performance of the computer (whatever that entails).

>_> Still sure my pc is crapping out on me though lol it'd explain the sudden fps drop since 2.2. Perfect fps from beta until then and now its happening in the benchmark, barely even manage 20 fps in game since then.

Well what settings did you pick for graphics? High, medium or low? Then decide if you have it on the highest setting, what other settings could you lower. Shadows are a good one, water reflections also another good one to lower and not many know this but the physics for other chars takes a massive chunk of performance.

Try playing around with settings you think would be big performance users and lower then till you get the balance of high score (they should show avg fps) with decent looking graphics. And tbh don't worry about hitting the 7k+ mark you really do not need that much power to run FF.


The best score id say to be in with a decent shot of running all high settings is around 3500-4000 in score.

i definitely need to fiddle around with it more tomorrow and figure out what works best
i'll remember your advice thankyou!

eh?

And here's another with my extra screens disabled this time. Still room for 20k if I disabled background processes, but oh well.

You might be able to lookup upgrades from your PC's manufacturer, I've still got a few levels of processor I could upgrade, but I'm saving that for when I build myself a computer from scratch. Just from this it looks like you could probably upgrade your graphics card and maybe the processor.

On the side/back of your computer it might have a label with the exact pc model name & number, you can just go to your company's website and type that into search. IE, my computer's an HP Envy series, so I just went to HP.com and searched the exact Envy mobdel that it has listed.
