I wouldn't say RTX 3060 is that old tbf
you've sworn to never take off your helm though. Why do you care?
I used the 'import my settings' button. My computer's 3 years old, and I got a 'High' and things worked just fine, so I'm good with that.
him talking about how old his pc is and realising that his graphics card is an entire generation above mine ;-;.. I got a higher score luckily though so it seems I am doing better somewhere else haha
Only thw race gear and viper gear are uodated in the benchamark right?
I love seeing everyone's benchmark pictures and videos. I think you missed out on benchmark 1.0 where the shadows were….kinda rough. My character struggled with it, looks wise. I knew it was the lighting but it was still hard not to be disheartened anyway. But she looks SO much better now.
I was pleasantly surprised that after I adjusted some settings, it runs decently on my old Surface Book 2 with a 980 mobile. It's not GREAT. But it's "good enough." For those who can't afford a $3000 gaming rig or a brand new gaming laptop, and who also aren't pro Vtubers that also need a full OBS rig, consider getting a PS5 instead. It runs XIV smooth as silk and it's only $500 if you can find one on sale. Plus it means you can play all the other PS5 exclusives floating out there.
All the NPC that used character creation assets will have the graphical update treatment as well. So mostly characters from ARR will be updated. I'm looking forward to seeing them again but in proper upgrade.
imo the grafix update seems "ok", nothing special (would wish for more, but still ok-ish)
We need sunglasses with the light coming off that bald head of yours!!!!
You over here mocking your PC, and I was thinking "Whats he got, an AMD FX rig?" with as old as you made it sound, but then I look in the corner and I see you have a simlar specc'd machine to myself…and I felt attacked 🤣 I'm running a 3060 TI though, but we rocking the same CPU. I'm greedy I ran the benchmark at maximum settings at Ultra Wide 3440x1400p resolution and still came out of the benchmark with a "High" rating.
currently FF14 is 4k PS3 game
after graphics update, becomes a remastered PS3 game.
Just a thing I noticed. You can go into the settings of the benchmark and switch from FSR to DLSS, I gained nearly 3000 points with the switch. You have a 3060 so your GPU supports it.
If you are worried about stuttering while streaming, look into the Intel Arc a310 ECO. Simply mount it on a slot under your main GPU and use it as a dedicated streaming encoder. It cost about $100 and requires no additional power plug.
I love how you can't see the unhinged Warrior of Light benchmark rictus underneath the 'Stache
Fun fact, that's a Legacy Chocobo, because Canon WoL (derplander/meteor survivor) is from 1.0, and 1.0 players kept their 1.0 chocobos in the form of a Legacy Chobobo (its wearing Garlean armor, has a meteor survivor tattoo, and burnt feathers). Ergo…canon WoL gets one too.
You can go to your character on the ingame log in screen and save the appearance of an already created character FYI, so you didn't need to recreate your character on the benchmark.

You have an nvidia graphics card, so in the benchmark (and eventually full game) you should change the "Graphics Upscaling" option from FSR to DLSS.
Long story short, it's on FSR by default since FSR works on all graphics cards. DLSS only works on nvidia graphics cards, so we have to swap over manually.
Basically, this will make the game look sharper and run better than FSR, as DLSS is consistently ahead of FSR, and they're also using a very old version of FSR.
And if you don't know what either of these are, they're just upscalers that take a lower resolution image and make it look like a higher resolution image. It's a complex trick to make games run a lot better on lower end machines without sacrificing nearly as much image quality as actually running at a lower resolution, which can make the entire image blurry and unattractive.
You can save your profile when you visit the Aesthetician, in any inn of the game.
My headcanon is that Dad went to Dawntraillands to retrieve his helmet, that was stolen in Endwalker
Similar score to mine's. Also very high. Dawntrail ready, but you'll need to buy a subscription and play through the story first.
Your score is better than my computer's. I only barely got 8k on the score. My desktop is pretty old, but has some newer parts in it.
Looks like I'll be good at least when I build my pc. I'm just hoping I'll be done around DT release. I cannot wait to finally have smooth fps and no lagging!
