Post your Shadowbringers benchmark results

[Ryaz]

Was having a LOT of problems with my PC and getting around 10k-11k max with an OC'ed GPU at max settings and 3440x1440. I figured out that when I updated my BIOS, it turned HPET on, which apparently was causing the issues. Disabled it and now I got this score. I think I'll be fine now. Lol. Tempted to try out 1080p to see what kind of results I get. Edit: Broke 23k at 1080p

I'm building a PC specifically for this xpac as I currently play on a laptop and have been going back and forth on a few parts (mainly CPU). I also play at a higher resolution and wanted to get some feedback on what GPU to go with as I have a limited budget. So I went through every page of this thread and compiled the information that was posted - if people posted their resolutions, if not that was skipped.

what gpu you should get depends on what resolution you'll be playing at. you don't need a top of the line gpu for 1080p. but if you're going 1440p ultrawidescreen (what i have), or 4k, then you'll need the fastest gpu you can get for playing at maximum settings

you'll also need a fast cpu if you care about lag in content like eureka. it only matters when there's a lot of people on the screen at once. like in hunts

That was with a stock i5-2500k, 2x2GB 1333MHz CL7 RAM, GTX 780, think it was ran from a 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM HDD. Might DL & try running it with my current setup.

I got this thing for SHB and ran the benchmark with Discord and Steam both open for realistic results, pretty satisfied with how much performance this thing packs for $1050

want to ask if anyone tried ryzen 3 APU (vega 8) can run benchmark?
is it capable? how much score?

[Vespar]

I got this thing for SHB and ran the benchmark with Discord and Steam both open for realistic results, pretty satisfied with how much performance this thing packs for $1050

Thats actually awesome considering its running in Maximum. High Laptop mode would be much better frames, but really just turning down or off HBAO occlusion settings to Strong or less makes a HUGE impact on lower spec'd PC's and laptops. I'll have to run the benchmark again on Maximum with Occlusion off to show what I mean. Will update this post later with MAX Settings vs HBAO off on my Alienware.

Here is the results of testing my Alienware m15 on Maximum settings.

That's a fairly discernable jump in score and frames for just turning that one setting off. And to be entirely honest the only notable difference when playing is a slight increase in brightness which can be adjusted by turning the gamma in game down a few ticks. Otherwise you don't even know its off unless your a real stickler for graphics and go looking for differences! I should also mention that my laptop is undervolted to -0.160 volts to help with the m15's terrible thermals...
But for folks wanting better frames in game that have laptops or lower spec'd PC's try just turning off or down screen space occlusion and see if that helps. Its a negligible difference in graphics for a a better frame rate.
