Benchmarking Endwalker and Dawntrail

I refreshed my benchmark results for Endwalker and you can check them out at:

- GPU: https://rkblog.dev/posts/ffxiv/endwa...pu-comparison/
- iGPU/Mobile/APU: https://rkblog.dev/posts/ffxiv/endwa...pu-comparison/
- CPU: https://rkblog.dev/posts/ffxiv/endwa...pu-comparison/

Dawntrail benchmark should drop "soon" so there will be some points to compare. DXVK also works quite well now compared to my old tests. No shader compilation lag.

This did take quite a while to benchmark...

Im already planning on getting a new monitor, Im hoping I dont have to get a new pc with this expansion. I needed one for the last

What do you have and what resolution/type of display you want to buy? :)

Dawntrail benchmark won't drop until at least like a couple months before launch, so you got a long time to wait still.

i saw this and decided to run my EW benchmark again since ive upgraded my rig and i got 16052!

If it goes like Shadowbringers then before launch, like a month. If it will be somewhat like Endwalker then it may go somewhere the Fanfest in Japan that starts in a few days. It's unpredictable :D Due to graphical changes, the benchmark may be more than just marketing this time ;)

Building a new comp, current one is almosy 8yrs old. Keeping the psu and vid card from it. Will replace them with less beefier ones, clean the drives up and give it too my daughter.

If I'm reading this right, you have a 3070. That's more than enough. You might have to turn it below max if you want to upscale it to 4K, but that's it.

They posted system requirements for Dawntrail

Seems pretty ok. When they release the new benchmark I'll add it to the charts :)

I play on console, so the benchmark is largely meaningless to me, but I'll download it anyway just to play with the femhroth options and post my system results for a laugh. My PC is very dated.

Fortunately brought a new pc a few months ago, with an RTX4070ti and I7 13700kf which should be more than enough.

Does DXVK positively impact the game's performance? If so, in what way? If it does not, why bother?

my CPU is lower than the minimum required, so I'll check the benchmark, but I'm expecting to have to get DT on PS5 instead. Fair enough, I haven't really upgraded my PC in over a decade. Will be weird playing on console though.

Wouldn't you have to get a whole new account if you are switching from PC to console?

No, you just need buy a console license ( key ) you can check it by going to mog station > service account status > Platform. then you can play on whatever you want ( not at the same time ofc )

I've got a GTX 1660 Super so I should be alright, just probably won't be able to play with everything maxed out

It's very setup specific. If the system is bad at DX11 due to CPU, driver overhead then DXVK can help. FFXIV isn't using old DX11 so the uplift shows up only for some systems.

And added some quick Dawntrail CPU/GPU/iGPU comparisons: https://rkblog.dev/posts/ffxiv/dawnt...rk-comparison/
