Windows 10

[Amaranths]

Anyone know if ffxiv will run on windows 10?

[Zaft]

It currently runs great on the Windows 10 Preview, so I would imagine it will run great on the actual release.

I imagine you're asking because of that free Windows 10 popup everyone's getting?

[Amaranths]

Yeah I got it today

Was wondering the same thing, i signed up for the free release thingy-me-bob, but i was unsure if it would run FFXIV well.

I can guarantee with almost 100% certainty that Square Enix is well aware of Windows 10 and are planning to fully support it. Also, nVidia and AMD are definitely working on compatible Windows 10 graphics drivers. So by the time Windows 10 is released on 29th July, everything should be compatible.

I can't speak for Nvidia, but AMD's drivers are entirely compatible with Windows 10 (running the preview as my daily driver).

I can't speak for Nvidia

NVidia already released a Windows 10 optimized driver.

It bring some advantages of DX12 to non DX12 software. This shall speedup games up to 20% they claim.

With the Heavensward Benchmark I got around 1% (~100) more points. Compared to Windows 8.1.

To those who are considering windows 10, I would suggest caution on such a decision. It is self-proclaimed as a 'freemium operating system', meaning many features will be locked unless you decide to pay extra.

You've heard of pay to win? This is pay to Function.

I for one will wait and see what is and isn't free, before I decide to upgrade.

Old news and quite wrong. The only costs for Win10 are if you are currently using a bootleg version, or if you have a registered version of Windows from Vista on up to the current 8.1 and wait a year or more to upgrade. The subscription/charge rumors were rumors and nothing more.
After the free year, or if you buy a new version, it will be what they market it as.
