According to benchmark results game is going to be a lot less demanding than ffxv. I will post a bit more details later. I think in comparison to previous benchmark (xxfv) this one is much longer.

 

It's less demanding for sure, even last benchmark version looked already graphically outdated.
But it's MMORPG so that's got to be expected.

 

Lots of Nvidia Gameworks effects, I'm guessing.

As this benchmark is pretty small in size (a bit over 2GB) i decided to check how it performs when loaded into ramdisk. There is no difference in score but in loading times. Ryzen 2700x, ddr4 3000MHz 2x16GB dual channel and radeon r9 380 4GB, 1920x1080 maximum preset.
HDD: score 7179, total loading time: 27.083sec.
RAMdisk: score 7184, total loading time: 10.022sec.

 

I play at 3440x1440 but the benchmark has an issue where it doesn't render at this aspect ratio and remains 16:9 with black bars on side (character creation works fine tho).

Either way 1080p is a better comparison for everyone since is what most ppl test at.

The benchmark also had default of High preset so that's what i used.

 

Seems to run fine,the latency graph was dead flat.

Your score looks a little rough.

No idea.

Could be because of recording, HBCC etc.

 

I dont know.
I will test and see.

 

Getting just under 11.5K when not recording, and with default HBCC/LOD/tessellation.

All clocks same as before.

 

stock benchmark settings ....stock r5 1600 stock 1060 6gb ...

Spoiler

 

i got 12290 wile recording.
just 310 points it cost to record.

Oh by the way good work on making a video.
not many people bother.

 

i could but with just a connection with 1mbps upload ..... not going to do that

 

Keeps me busy.

Also, got the same drop with the particle effect in the first scene.

 

here you go did one myself.

 

Now I know why, with those clocks.

p.s.

I recorded in HEVC.

Don't think I will next time.

 

side by side.
had to try and manually sync due to loading time differences.
got close enough for a comparison
