Benchmark is telling us something...

[Shyle]

My system is around 4 years old, I7 2600K w/ 8gb ram (I had 16 until a stick died a year back) but I've kept up on my GPU with a 1070 8gb.

It's apparent that XIV is GPU reliant, more than CPU or even ram, I scored 14.9k on the benchmark with everything at max @ 1080p.

Edit: I couldn't seem to embed the image of the benchmark for reference, so here's a link to the image.
