You're empirically wrong about what is being tested here. They are testing the difference between the benchmarks of SHB and EW, so regardless in what mode gets tested, if there is a real difference between both benchmarks it should be apparent in any mode tested. Given I ran tests and came with results that are absolutely impossible I have good reason to believe there is something wrong with the windowed mode in the EW benchmark. My full screen testing results are closer to what I've seen other players report playing at 4K maximum. Therefore, his data may not be correct if it is getting tested in windowed mode.

I also didn't know you spoke for the entire FFXIV community about the mode we play in. I can certainly attest you don't speak for me.
