How do you get it to go fullscreen? When ever I use ALT-Enter it quits.

Just ran it on my work computer at 1280x720 medium, it faired OK although not amazing (it only has a Quadro FX 580). The graphics at that resolution on medium look pretty sweet though, can't wait to try it out tonight on my home machine on max settings

It does not run in fullscreen without a d3d hack like the original FFXIV benchmark. Performance will be better when run in full screen and CFX kicks in.. or at least it did with the original benchmark.

Runs great at 1080p maxed out, GTX 580 at stock reference clocks.
Doesnt need a killer gfx card.

I find the high to max settings weird, why would anyone want to disable culling?

Why the hell would it not run fullscreen! Makes no sense.

The Final Fantasy series made an appearance on the Playstation long before it was ported over to a PC.
Perhaps this will help the folks having problems running this benchmark.

This is version 2.0 of the game, in 1.0 the engine actually had culling disabled with no way to enable it. It was one of the biggest problems with the engine.. im surprised they left it in in this version, lol.

This seems to be very CPU limited, I ran my 7950 @ 1050mhz and got an average of 54fps with 1920x1200 on max settings.

Pushed my processor from its default 3.3Ghz to my OC of 4.5Ghz and it jumps from 54fps to 71fps!

I think this is mostly because it is only using a single thread by the looks of it, it rarely jumps above 25% CPU usage (1 core)

Only about 8 months, not that much really.

It was alright. I don't think it has an amazing engine/optimized or anything (correct me if I'm wrong) but Tera still holds my interest and looks better (although I feel is still CPU heavy and crap optimized).

Looks great for sure!

I disagree with the above comment though, I much prefer the overall look here than Tera.

Can't wait to give the Beta a try.

has anyone gotten SweetFX to work on this or the FFXIV 2.0 Beta? The launcher loads, buit the game crashes once it starts.

I tried putting sweetfx in both the launcher and game folders (i used to do that for FFXIV 1.0 and it worked), but the game still crashes.
