Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Benchmark Results Thread

[Embryon]

How well did you guys do on the FFXIV: ARR benchmark? Check out our news story here, download the program, and post your scores here!

I managed 3813 on High. My computer is pretty powerful, but I'm sure others can do much better.

Separate thread? Makes sense for topic. Here's my results. You can check the actual FPS by choosing the "Save" your score, the resultant text file has all the specific data about your performance.



59.5 FPS on both settings 1680x1050







49.7 FPS, 36.2 FPS respectively on 1920x1200



Running an i7 2600 3.4Ghz, 8GB DDR3, GTX 560Ti Hawk. Honestly speaking there's almost no loss of fidelity going from Max to High settings. Extremely scalable engine is awesome for low to mid end PCs. One of my friends hit 10,000+ on a GTX 680. I think anyone with a PC that was bought within the last 3-4 years can run the game quite well.

I got a 2869 and 2335 on Hihg and Maximum, respectively.

It's surprising, since the original FFXIV benchmark ran like shit on my coputer (it said it wouldn't run on high settings). I am happy with this. What's with the resolutions, though? No 1080p? WTF.

[Tenchi-no-Ryu]

There's 1440x1080 ;p

I'm kind of disappointed they didn't give you a fullscreen option with more resolution settings so you could have a more real-world estimation of performance. Still, I did a system reboot and shutdown some of my background programs and it increased the score by 150-300 points depending on the test, so the benchmark has a higher degree of precision than the old one. I did notice that there actually is some significant changes in natural lighting between high and max settings, most noticeably in the Gridania ride through - on High it looks like late afternoon, on Max it's morning on a VERY sunny day. There's also no lens flares on high. J.J. Abrams is sad :(

[Ashton]

Well I kind of wanted to test it on my 1920 x 1080 screen, but I guess the 1680 x 1050 will suffice for now.

And yeah, I noticed that lighting difference. Might just play on Max and take the FPS hit...

[Tsi Aileron]

My average FPS was 38 on maximum and 49.616 on high.

Windows 8 Pro
Core i5-3570k @ 4.5GHz
16GBs of DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti

Edit: 1080p is the 3rd option down.

Edit 2: So I took it down from 1080p to the next 16:9 resolution, 1600x900. My score jumped to 6002 on maximum but it only gave me one extra FPS on average. High is another story though. My score went up to a 7846 and I had an average FPS of 64.828.

Hello

Decided to go ahead and run the benchmark at 1600x900 as this is the opt resolution for my monitors and what I'll be playing the game at anyway. The test was done on a homebuilt system, ran beautifully, from some of the other scores on lodestone and such looks like I could get alot higher if I oc'd the processor. I don't really see the point since its running fine as is so will probably not oc...

Wow, my score is pretty pitiful compared to all of yours! Haha. I tried running it again on Maximum and got 3252 on 1680x1050 resolution. For what it's worth, the framerate is steady, and I didn't get any skipping whatsoever. I'm satisfied.

[Dade]

Got a 4754 running 1920x1080 at High.

I'm good with this.

I'm jealous of everyone who is getting in the beta on Monday. Derek, I expect live tweeting while I'm at work.

[Parn]

Not too bad on my mac, especially since it was checking for and downloading updates for windows 7 while I was running it.

Heres a spreadsheet of a bunch of the test scores:

8014 at 1920x1200 on Max settings. Consoles really have ruined any point of having super powerful PC parts. I've got a single 680GTX, not even running the new Titan. PS4 can't get here soon enough.

Dat NDA, br0. I wish I could.

[Solstafir]

5749 and 46.641 average FPS on High at 1680x1050. I want to see what killing shadows a bit will do to this.

5929 and 48.034 average FPS after lowering a few shadow settings and grass quality... not really much difference, haha.
