Hi,
I'm looking to build a new PC. Now I'm sort of in the middle of choosing the hardware. I'm planning to play FF14 on a 1440p panel with maybe 144, 120Hz and a GTX 1080Ti. So if anyone has this card and the monitor, which sort of FPS do you get on maximum DX11 setting? Can a single GTX1080Ti handle this res and FPS in the crowed area?
Thanks for your input.
Anyone using 1080Ti and a 1440p or above panel?

I'm using a regular 1080 at 4k, and I've never seen it dip below 40, even in the middle of the Eureka train (which is really the most the game will ever throw at it). At 1440p I'd imagine a Ti would crush it given how much less data there is than at 4k.

I'm running a regular 1080 at 1440p / 144hz at max graphics settings, and I never dip below 100fps. A 1080ti would easily cap your fps at 144 at all times.

And in the end it also depends on your CPU, ram, etc. If you're sitting with a Pentium 4 you're not going to achieve that kind of FPS.
Using a 1080Ti you should also invest in an I7 any of 6xxx or above series. And 16Gb ram of course. -
03-24-2018, 12:02 AMKisaiTenshiA 1080Ti is more powerful than a 1080, and I have a 1080 and can play it at 4K, mostly at 60fps. (Depends on location.) The Ti is just a relabeled Titan X with a few rendering units disabled, but it's realistically 50% more powerful than the 1080, so it should be able to do 1080p x 144hz and 1440p at 144hz. That said, this game eats GPU's for breakfast, so make sure you get a card that is not factory OC'd if you can help it. It's usually those factory OC'd cards that die when an actual DX11/DX12 game is used.Quote:

I use R9 390X STRIX with a 1440p playing at max setting. FPS hold steady at around 70 most of the time. Temps get a bit high but not high enough to worry about for the moment. Plan on getting a 1080ti myself when prices stop being stupid

Thanks everyone, and yeah the price is really stupid now. I will delay it anyway because I'm still saving up.
I will pair it with maybe the gen 8 i7 K CPU and 16GB RAM. I'm planning to go nuts with this system.
Thanks again for the numbers -

If price is an object, the 8600k is competitive at a significant discount, and is worth it if that frees up budget for an SSD. Enjoy your new rig when you get it. :DQuote:

1070 on 3440x1440 Max setting normally 50 tp 60 fps.
I drop down to desktop normal for savage to stick a solid 60 fps.
1080 ti with current mining prices I wouldn't get. It's 2 year old tech and Nvidia is normally on a 2 year cycle so sometime this year 1180 or 2080 will come out and be cheaper and better performance then 1080 ti -

Ever computer will have different frame rates and my rig is in no means the top of the line .
I got my 1080tis about a year ago and drive my 4k screen with them, Max setting (of course).
The CPU is a 7700k @ 4.7 , SSD etc , not quite the latest I know , but no reason to upgrade.
I could also say that my frame rate is this and that, solid that, never dipping bellow .... but lets give an example :
limsa Aetheryte : 124 fps -150 fps
kugane retainers : 90fps - 95 fps
Eurika instance entry : 80fps - 85fps -

Hm.... judging from everyone's comment, I think 1080Ti should be able to get solid 144FPS @ max setting on 1440p in the crowded area like Eureka instance entry. If not, at least 100FPS+.
Now other question, FFXIV only have option for 60/30/15??? FPS cap right? So what you do with those powerful cards? Just leave it at upcapped? What about screen tearing and stuff? From what I heard a 144Hz panel should not have this problem, because a 1080Ti should not get more than 144FPS anyway. -

The game looks amazing uncapped. If you can do it I would suggest it. I don't get any tearing at all in ff14. I don't run at 4k but that's only because my screen is a HD monitor so 4k does nothing for it really.

I use a single 1080ti @ Max settings and it can hardly keep steady 60 fps at 4K, depending on the map and number of characters it can vary from the low 30s to the higher 70s, my screen is 60Hz and I get visible tearing whenever it goes above 60!...
1440p is no problem for this card and it can probably handle 144fps easily, I don't use it because it looks blurry on a 4K screen!...
The game feels much more responsive at high fps but it definitely looks better at 4K, despite the crappy PS2 textures and the block-like models!... -
03-24-2018, 03:25 PMVhailorYou do realize that FPS has an absolutely minimal impact on visuals, right? The reason people like 144Hz (and really, for FFXIV it matters very little) is for smoothness and control purposes. It particularly comes up in more reactive, competitive games like first-person shooters.Quote:

There'll likely be a noise trade-off if your video card fan has to run near 100% to keep itself cool, which is a problem for some people. -

i have a i7 6700k with 1080 TI using a 4k 60 hz G Sync panel and my fps doesnt dip below 60 fps no matter where im doing or whats going on. 65-80 fps depening on where. used a 1440p 144hz G Sync panel previously and game would occasionally dip below 144 fps
