    FX 6350 @3.9 ghz - Stock
    Radeon 6750 2ghz.

    Taking a huge hit having everything maxed out. Some real bad FPS drops.
    Might be time for a video upgrade, or more likely a switch of processors to an Intel Based system.

    Sigh..... More cost I cant afford at the moment.

    That's really cool, and is understandable enough with google translate. More importantly for me, his tests only have a difference of about 2% compared to the tests I ran. That's insanely close, and while I can't figure out his other specs (the computer spec image obviously didn't translate), it's plenty close enough for me to use the chart for deciding on and pricing better GPUs.

    (hell, I'd expect that margin of error running the test twice on the same computer)

    Any of the GPUs are reference cards if they're not listed with any manufacturer.
    i7 4790K
    16GB 1866MHz CL 9 RAM.
    PSU, Silverstone 1200W gold.
    The drivers are whatever that's listed.

    Not sure why it sets to Laptop High though. Re-run with settings put up and borderless windowed:

    Scored around 5k, Very High.

    Desktop (High) /with SSAO set to Strong instead of HBAO+.

    HBAO+ really hurts the frame rate in certain places. (Turned it off in WoW as well, seems like a universally expensive technique).

    Performs very much like the DX9 client ...

    Didn't see much of the new effects they said will be in the DX11 client, water tessellation, parallex mapping, ground reflections ... etc.

    Edit: (no screen because I have no idea how to screen cap the score screen LOL)

    Internet forums are more for circlejerking (patting each other on the back) than actual discussion (exchange and analysis of information and points of view). Took me long enough to realise ...

    Re-ran this in DX11, max settings at 1920 x 1080, 10638 score. Surprised I was over 9k, let alone 10.

    Not bad for a system with a 4 year old i5-2500k, imo. Only thing I recall concerning was loading time. I can't remember if it was at 23 or closer to 30. Don't have access to my PC currently, but it seems high compared to other loading numbers here. I presume it's loading all the data locally thus connection speed would be irrelevant. I have a Samsung 840 Pro SSD, so it's not the newest fasted SSD available.

    The 4690K is not that much better than a 2500K, at stock I think it's only something like 5-10% increase in performance. Seeing as on my test with the 4690K@4.4 it was not even getting near cap, it shows the game is much more GPU dependent.

    Also, that SSD is plenty fast. The newer ones are not much faster and the difference really only shows in benchmarks. In normal everyday home use, you'll not notice any difference.

    very satisfied with the card considering my old 760 got a score of a little over 7k with some of the new settings turned off while this one achievs around 40% more performance with everything maxed out.

    3440x1440 maximum settings...

    A score of 3226. XD Fairly high.

    The stupid default laptop settings were a different story, though. :P

    Computer in sig.

    I guess if I ever decide to try FF14, though, it shouldn't be any issue. Obviously the score would change if my GPU was more in-line with the level of my CPU.

    Seeing my Graphic card ( gtx 460 XD) decided to go belly up last week (talk about timing lol)
    I decided to go with the gtx 970

    This was my score:


    Settings on Max.
    PC config:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Processor: Intel(R) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
    Memory: 6GB RAM
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB (Brand: Asus, STRIX)
    Casing: NZXT Lexa BlueLine

    Had to Modify my Pc casing seeing the card didn't fit (was to long -_-)
    So we ended up cutting the Hdd Module wall (lost 3 spaces to dock a hhd drive) but I could still fit 2 hdd drives there and I moved the Sdd OS drive to the docking bay containing the disk drive :P.

    Ugh, yo, you've got a GORGEOUS and BADASS motherboard... and an ugly case, at least the inside. Which case is that? It doesn't look terribly user-friendly. If you could upgrade it, I'd be at the front of the line for those backing you up and cheering you on. :P

    Really need an option to run the benchmark on a 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution. I really want to know if my PC can handle the Dx11 game at 4K.

    Go into the settings and make a custom resolution setting.
