Well I'm upgrading my card to a GTE 470 which should help.

Gavriel · **07-07-2010, 06:24 PM**

My desktop just got 1657 on high resolution....

i7 2.8 GHz
6gb DDR3 Corsair
Nvidia 285GTX

That seems like a rather low score.

Does the i7 also use hyper-threading? Because thats what tanked my score, apparently.

Ah, yes. The benchmark was with the Alpha engine apparently and they're fixing all of the optimization issues!

We're also loosing a little fps because it's not running full screen. There's a DLL floating around that will force it to go full screen.

I got a score a little over 2800 on high with SLI and about 1900 without. I hope to at least pickup a new video card before launch. I'm looking at a Radeon 5870 or a Nvidia GTX480.

My specs:
-Core 2 Duo 3GHz (E6850)
-2Gig 1333MHz DDR3 Ram
-x2 8800 GTS 512MB (XFX Alpha Dog Edition)
-MB Nvidia 790i Ultra (XFX)
-Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 32bit
-24" LCD at 1920x1200

I just tested the benchmark on my lunch tray (re: 17.3" desktop replacement laptop).

With an i7 720Q 1.6ghz (with turbo boost to 3.2ghz) phantoming 8 cores, 6gigs of ddr3, Windows 7, and a nvidia 230M got a 1112 on low settings.

Updating drivers and trying again.

Tadrith · **07-08-2010, 03:20 PM**

I scored 2503 on LOW settings and I think 1533 on HIGH with:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
AMD Phenom 9750 Quad Core Processor 2.4 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
8GIGs of RAM

I was surprised my score was so low considering I can run Aion on high settings while grouped/soloing, and on mid-high when joining a fortress siege (usually involves at least 200+ player characters on screen both on ground and flying plus NPCs). Maybe FFXIV is designed for graphic growth though, hence the low score. Those that played FFXI may recall that when it released few sets could run it, and now, eight years later basic sets can run it on high settings, but it's 8 years later! So yeah, I'd say as long as you can hit medium settings score, go with the flow and upgrade as you go. Again: my 2 gil worth.

Hm wow, everyones using nvidia cards... I first got 2338 on low setting, which made me quite sad... i then overclocked my graca from 500 to 700 mhz and now i get 3132 on low and 1683 on high resolution. But Im also fancying a better card, if I can afford it...

Intel 2 Quad Q8200 2.33ghz (running on 2.8)
4 GB (3.2 -.-) 1066mhz DDR2 RAM
Windows XP Home 32bit Service Pack 3
Asus EAH4850 (Radeon HD 4850) overclocked

Ahah!
So after doing a bit of overclocking (to 3.0 GHz) and installing a new driver, score is now 2864 on high resolution!!!
That's a 1200 point improvement!!! I'm SO happy!!!

And I was about to go spend another $350 on a second 285 GTX and an SLI bridge Big Grin

If you did it wouldn't show up on the benchmark. If I recall correctly (and I'm about 90%+ it is correct), the benchmark won't factor in two graphic cards, only one, so the score would still be based off of the one card. Glad you could get your score up. Actually... I should try that, too.... /procrastinates. >.> /whistles

Tadir · **07-23-2010, 07:40 PM**

Heee.

5499 on low
37somethingsomething on high

My screen isn't big enough for the high, so I don't care about it. I'm very, very happy with my score though. I do wish I could get that one extra point...

Kylin · **07-23-2010, 07:47 PM**

I hate you all >.>

My score was like...183.

I know the graphic card needs updated but I can't afford to spend more than about $130 on it. So yeah...I'll be aiming at the min specs moreso than recommended. Hopefully I don't lag too crazily. The rest of my PC pretty much is exactly the same as the min specs for the most part. If it becomes too difficult to play, guess I'll be spending most of my time hanging out in the emptiest zones biding my time for PS3 release.

Tadir · **07-23-2010, 08:30 PM**

There is always crafting, where lag doesn't make such a huge difference. Oh! Or fishing!

The GTX 9800 Nvidia is a 130 dollar card that benched in my old system at 3300. Perfectly fine for running the game on medium to high settings. Look into it Wink

(Make sure you get the GTX not the GT)
