Final Fantasy XIV Online: Heavensward Benchmark.

MadMatty · 28 Apr 2015 at 11:20

An updated benchmark released for this online game. It's about 7 mins long going through various scenes. Its a Nvidia gameworks title so scores may heavily favour NVidia cards. Maybe the usual suspects would like to make a score keeping thread

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/

Just a quick run with steam and other what nots still running in the background so not an optimal run. R9 290 Catalyst 15.4beta

..Pffft 'VRAM 3072 MB'...its 3.5GB I'll have you know

Also I can't see an option to enable 'Occlusion culling' so I guess that its not applicable to Nvidia cards :confused:

and as suspected, yet another FF game that doesn't use SLI..

Just did a run, cranked everything up as far as it would go, basically the same as the other settings used in this post and got:

Score 13961.

System in sig below.
Seems to run very well, but not my sort of game at all.

A FFXIV DX11 profile exists in the drivers, try renaming the .exe or adding the benchmark .exe to the existing profile.

I will give it a run but being an NVidia Gameworks title it is likely to run awful in 4 way SLI.

Pity it's not an AMD gaming evolved title as that almost guarantees decent SLI support lol.

Run this at the three resolutions now.

1080p = 17570 (138fps)
1440p = 13260 (101fps)
2160p = 6780 (52fps)

Well pleased with how it runs on my 970's and Overall nice SLI scaling from Nvidia with this game and looks very pretty.

Does anyone want me to start a scoreboard thread for this tomorrow when I am off work ?
