One of the things I appreciated about these benchmarks is that the GPUs are "out of the box settings"! Though I am a fan of overclocking, I realize that most gamers will buy a gpu, put it in their system and play. So, this video is so very relevant for them as it shows the real performance from one gpu to the next that they may expect to truly get! I know the enormous amount of time this had to have taken, switching from one card to another and rerunning all those benchmarks – Very well done and appreciated!
I used to play FFXIV on a GTX 760 back in the day. It was very fun (and still fun when I quit playing around early Shadowbringers, tbh), but I don't have time for the game anymore.
Hello. i need help
i got a LU28R55 monitor
GPU is a radeon sapphire pulse rx 5700 xt
CPU ryzen 7 3800 X
What should i do for the best 2560 x 1440 experience. ingame and radeon software are too much settings for me to understand. I tested but im nor sure what to do.
With FSR being the default upscaler, it doesn't surprise me that AMD cards are performing better.
I can't actually read the pertinent part of your final thoughts at the end since youtube plastered a card all over just enough text to render anything past the first bullet point indecipherable. I still have a general idea from the rest of the video, but your nice little summary at the end for me to reference when it's time to order the parts still got ruined by youtube.
How much a a difference at 4k would the 4070ti or 4070ti super make at 4k? Like 5-10fps or less from the 3090ti?
This is a good video, but are you sure that the recommendation about the X3D CPUs being the best for FFXIV is correct? It's absolutely true they're the best for most games, but for FFXIV endwalker specifically, it seemed to be a bit of an outlier, and the intel 13th and 14th gen CPUs performed a decent amount better: in the endwalker bench, the 14900k got 23% more frames than the 7800X3D. You can look at the Gamers Nexus 14600k video for numbers on the FFXIV CPU bench. Has Dawntrail changed the CPU characteristics on cache friendliness that much?
I have a i7 7700 and I want to run FF with a 3070 Ti. I'm upgrading from a 1070. I have a 1440 monitor. I'm just hoping that the frame difference was worth the cost. What do you think?
XIV is not running on Crystal Tools. Only the 1.0 version ever used that engine.
I have a ryzen 7600, is it worth it for me to change to a x3d cpu?
4090 is not overkill. There is no such thing. If you want high frames you want high frames. Especially if you're main source of entertainment is video games, XIV specifically.
4090 isn’t overkill when hunt train kill fps
I don't really understand I have a 3080 with a R5 2600 and I got a score of 4401 at 4k resolution and 30 FPS average DLSS On, I thought CPU doesnt really matter at 4k resolution, but apparently on this new FFXIV graphics it does! Can someone confirm this or help me with this? thx
I have a question, I have a RTX 4070 with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 6-core processor and I currently play on 1080p max settings.
The Benchmark gives me a min fps of 67 and average fps of 164 (also on max settings)
Do you think it could run 1440p with no issues? I'm looking to upgrade my monitor to a 1440p one.
edit: ah, you kinda mentioned it in the last minute. Should be fine then 🙂
I hit 13900 with my Legion 7 laptop with a Rizen CPU (can't recall the model)and 3060 Nvidia GPU. I had settings ALMOST full juiced, real close. 1440p I believe but not 100% that it wasn't 4k. I essentially just said nothing… maybe 😂
On a 4080 laptop
-2560×1600, 22250 on High Laptop Setting
-2560×1600, 16500 ish on Maximum.
TBF if anyone still playing using GTX1080 probably still using 1920×1080 res. you can still play just fine. Because no one is turning all effects for every player on.
Got over 20000 with my RX 6900 XT
FFXIV is so weird with how it handles different set ups. I'm not even sure comparison videos are all that worth it in the end.
I ran the bench mark with a 7600x and a 4070 ti super, which are lower end both in CPU and GPU then yours, and got a higher score on Max then you did with a 7800x3d and 4080 super at 4k. And I've run the test several times. My ram is a bit faster at 6000mts with Expo, but I only have 32GB. My tests are running at around 18000 very consistently. With average FPS pretty much the exact same as yours with the 4080 super. Granted it looks like you used FSR, while I have DLSS enabled, but from what I have herd from my friends messing around with settings, they get better scores even with Nvidia cards with FSR then they do with DLSS (I personally have only ran it with DLSS), so I don't think that would have made my score almost 4000 points higher on 'lower' tier parts. And that was out of the box. It might have a slight overclock from Gigabyte, but its not huge.
HECK I even looking back at my screenshots, tested a straight up 4070 on my old i7 11th gen and scored HIGH 14000s in 4k, meaning it scored higher then your 4080 super on a worse CPU. Though the FPS was quite a bit lower, with the average only hitting around 80, though it still didn't dip below 60 at any point. And that was for sure not overclocked at all.
I also tested a 3060, and that got a 10000 on 4k, but struggled to hold 60fps on Max. You didn't test this one but I thought it was worth mentioning if anyone read my wall of text. But at 1440p it was awesome, holding I believe it was 100+ fps most of the time, scoring in the 15000s.
