The Benchmark Thread

[nirojan]

Hate reviving an old thread, but just tried the new bench mark on my new pc and got a score of LOW:4241 HIGH:2305! Guys,I'm 90% sure there's a new benchmark available (at least it's different from what I remember before the beta back in 2010):
FINAL FANTASY XIV Official Benchmark

EDIT: Apparently it's not the new benchmark

Would appreciate it if you guys who have a current subscription or a good rig post your stats up. I'd definitely want to know how well my PC can run the game and any tips on the settings that I should be running the game at would be appreciated.

I got:
Windows 7 Pro (64-Bit) SP1
3rd gen core i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz 8 CPUs
12 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 2GB GDDR5
Some other coolness, ask if you're interest

[Ouch!]

You can run on maximum settings across the board with a rig like that. The benchmark is irrelevant at this point, though. There will be a new one for A Realm Reborn as it's running on an entirely new engine. Which, good news for you, is optimized much more efficiently than the current one. So you'll really be able to crank it.

Okay, that's cool. I thought it was a little weird that I had to download DirectX 9 from the Microsoft page. Is a Realm Reborn going to be supporting DX11?

Is a Realm Reborn going to be supporting DX11?

IIRC, I don't think so.

[Ouch!]

I believe they said that they eventually plan to implement DX11 support, but not initially.

[Mirage]

That is correct, Ouch.
