Thread: Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 Benchmark

Ironically, in regards to the graphics at least: SE chose to downgrade the engine for ARR, yet by the time ARR released, most hardware could run the old 1.0 engine without any real problems.

Would be nice to see the old, higher poly counts and resolutions returnable at this point... Even on my old potato computer shadowed areas often seem more aesthetically pleasing back then too, iirc.

It's funny coming on the forums and seeing this. I couldn't sleep last night, so I laid in bed and listened to the 1.0 soundtrack.

I sure miss Grid's old music. Hell, I miss most of the old soundtrack, it felt more Final Fantasy to me.

I'd play 1.0 again....maybe. Lol. I don't miss the archaic systems.

Was super awesome scoring over 9k on that benchmark though....when I ran it when it first came out, I got around 1600 and still played the game knowing it would murder my computer.

6430, it's less than half my score for StormBlood in ultra. Wtf

Was bored waiting for the login so i gave it a run , 11060 .

I guess score would be NA, since I'm on a Mac.

Very cool

I’ll admit it , I miss 1.0 I had some great memories playing it.

Those animations, textures and models are so much better in that 1.0 demo, I wish they'd bring back that quality!...

I got a crappy 6,259, I definitely need new CPU!...

I got bored today and had the original 1.0 benchmark saved on my PC, I ran it on my Intel 12700k and RTX 4080 (16GB), It does run much better when I was playing the game with a Intel Q6600 and 9800 GTX (512MB). I'm sure I ran this benchmark on a i7 6700k with GTX 770 (2GB), AMD R5 1500X with RX 580 (8GB), and a R7 2700X with RTX 2070 Super (8GB) but I don't remember any of those scores. The score I got with my current set up was 15038. If 7.0 graphic update is close to this, most PC's will be fine now days unless you are running something compared to a GTX 770. Max settings with ARR I was getting around 40-60 fps on my GTX 770. Bumping it to the 580 helped get me a stable 60 because FFXIV uses about 4GB of VRAM.
