My wife and I have identical computers I built last January as budget gaming rigs. We got scores in Heavensward around 9500 on Max if I remember right. That isn't the case with Stormblood. We both get between 5600 and 5800 on Max, and while it says that is very high I want to improve that. I am thinking the CPU needs upgrading more so than the GPU. Here is what we have:
AMD FX 8320 (8-cores)
Nvidia GTX 960
16GB RAM
