Stormblood Benchmark Scores.

[kattzkitti]

Got 3,948 on my usual settings and 5,474 on 1280x720 windowed, which is higher than I was expecting. Ultimately the score doesn't mean much though.

Using the settings I already use in the game, I average about 25 FPS across the entire benchmark, except the two instances of fire particles at the start and the hunt boss with excessive ability spam later on which drops me to about 15 FPS. If I use the same settings but drop to 1280x720 windowed (which I'd then use Borderless Gaming to make full screen borderless windowed), I gain about 50% on both of those figures.

Pretty sure it's safe to say that Stormblood will run just fine, since those figures are artificially low due to benchmarks being artificially demanding. That all said, I'm getting a new computer within the next few months that will play the game on max settings with silky smooth 60+ FPS no matter what's going on ingame. Looking forward to Stormblood, going to be a helluva fun time for me.

maximum settings are a bit low. imported my current game settings (which were done with NVidia's optimizer) and got a little under 8000...

Hmm... might be able to score higher if I got a better CPU... this was Max with AA turned off (no need for AA on 4K).

This is my normal setting



This was just for fun



Might be time to upgrade a few of my parts.

Just compare scores between the HW benchmark and the SB one:



Not much of a change....

Then decided to give it a run using settings closer to what I usually use:



Still Extremely High. As someone who hasn't made the jump to DirectX11 yet, maybe now's a good time for me to do so.
