what was your benchmark compatibility score?

[Archadius]

So... I haven't had a chance to test mine yet, but I have a question. Do any of these scores and framerates actually mean anything? I mean how accurate is a benchmark with preset models and animations versus actual MMO gameplay where there are 29348203 character models on your screen?

Mine should run it ok, but I'm jealous enough of everyone else's scores that I am now consumed by the desire to upgrade my machine. *checks bank balance* *cries*

Score: 5213
Average Frame Rate: 40.667
Performance: Very High
Screen Size: 1920x1080
DirectX Version: 11
Graphics Presets: Maximum

System
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

No joke, which is pretty good for the ASUS G751JY series. My first test was windowed borderless (the mode I normally play in), and was satisfied. All tests were DX11 Maximum. My results were as follows:

Windowed Borderless 1920x1080: 9636. Additional tests were +/- 10-15 points.
Windowed 1920x1080: 9448. Additionals were +/- 10-15 points.

Loading times in both windowed modes were around 19.8 seconds.

Fullscreen 1920x1080: 9859. +/- only 10 tops. Despite theories to the contrary, GPUs in exclusivity do really make a difference.
With a custom global running in nVidiaInspector and ThrottleStop turned on, my gaming laptop pulled a 10338. A freaking laptop.
All Fullscreen tests pulled around 14 second load times. That's more than a 5.5 second improvement over any windowed mode!

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Benchmark
Score: 7499 Extremely High
1600x900 Standard (Desktop) DirectX11 Full Screen
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3565 @ 3.20GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series

I ran on Strandard (Desktop) since that's what I probably will run at.

Of course it isnt the same as if there are 29574747 players on screen.. which is often the case.

But the higher the score number the better is your cpu.. and the more constant your framerate is going to be in the game..

Close. I only get DPS dips on my ASUS laptop during peak times in Revenant's Toll or during S-rank/Odin fights. Your mileage may vary, and the lower your computer benchmarks, the higher the impact on your FPS. For instance, if your video memory is below 2GB, your GPU is going to bottleneck when particle effects really kick up, or there's high volume rendering going on. Video memory is absolutely key when things get busy, same as CPU caches, but clock speed is king for consistency. Having the best of both worlds, like you'll find in GTX 970s and 980s, you'll achieve these 9000+ scores, which are plenty for running this game without a headache.

(I main ps4. Bought PC license for when I was traveling for a week, and man, my laptop was painful..)

I'm more than happy with my score as its on a 3 year old PC, 13385 Extremely High on max

It has to be said they did a great job with the DX11 conversion it looks much better than DX9 and if the benchmark is anything to go with it still runs really well too.

its too many chars cant post the whole thing
i hope that ought to do for now

System
Windows 8.1 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9600.winblue_r9.150322-1500)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8063.445MB
AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (VRAM 2031 MB) 8.17.0010.1247

Just get a better graphics card.

The GTX 960 or AMD R9 280 would be a good combo with your current system.

The R7 series of graphics cards are more for java based games.
