FFXIV Stormblood Benchmark

[porina]

Who else is into FFXIV? For those that aren't keeping up with the news, the next expansion is due in... around 6 weeks or so, and they recently released a new benchmark tool. It is intended to test the system (not just GPU) for its suitability. I thought I might as well test the test and will see how the benchmark scales...

Will write more once I've got some numbers to share.

Heh I remember being one of the beta tester of this game, it was pretty fun. Too bad I can't manage a subscription based game

And it runs the same as HW did. Got with few tweaked settings Very High on my 850m with 4700HQ, almost everything maxed out. Mind you the bench runs on DX11 while I play HW in DX9 without HDR and I haven't seen such FPS drop in SB benchmark, so not sure if it was able to implemented all of my settings,because the score looks like it ran on DX9. the game is the benchmark of optimization imo, especially for MMOs.

Ok, didn't get around to benching, too busy in FFXIV Anyone else on Phoenix?

 

So many quests, so little time.

I ran the benchmark of 1080p Max settings the day it came out and I got a score of about 8850ish... Recently, Windows finally force pushed the Creators update on me and I was worried that my performance would be adversely impacted however, after running the benchmark again yesterday, I got much better performance which was a pleasant surprise. (No, I'm not running GameMode on, that was disabled the moment the update was done).

I just figured I'd post it in here as it seems (at least on my end) that the Creators update boosted my FFXIV performance. Hopefully it does the same for other players too.

In any case, here's my score

Did you run multiple times? The difference isn't that great, and I wonder how much variation you might get anyway. Did you update driver between Windows versions also?

 

Now, back to getting my BLM to 60...

I did run it multiple times yep and each time I got a score over 9100... I did however update the nvidia drivers since last I ran the benchmark but I really don't see them making that much of a difference... but you never know, they might have been the main reason. Either way, I'm just glad my performance wasn't reduced due to the Creators update is all!

 

Good luck! I've got all the classes at 60, can't wait for Stormblood

I was able to get around 7500 on 1080p max settings with a celeron and a GTX 1050Ti on the HW benchmark, it'll probably be the same for stormblood (although I hope it shows the correct RAM amount for the 1050Ti in this benchmark program).

 

Just FYI, I'm not in FFXIV yet as I would have to earmark the money for the subscription before I purchased anything.

The score might be a little lower as Stormblood is more technically demanding due to the drop of PS3 support

 

Oh, if ever you end up getting the game and you'd like to save a bit of money while paying the sub, make sure you get the base subscription model, it's cheaper and you get to pay for only 8 characters on an account and only one character per server but considering the game lets you play ALL classes on one character, you won't be missing out on anything.

There's the Stormblood benchmark result

 

 

And for comparison a result from the Heavensward benchmark that I took around the same time.

 

It did tank a bit around part of the fifth scene, and it did feel like the stormblood benchmark was shorter then the heavensward benchmark which might explain some of the 800 or so point difference between the two.

 

As for the subscription part, I can get a 180 day standard sub for the same price as the entry option so there are at least some options for going standard over entry.

I ran it a couple of days ago so no screenshot, but heres the text version.

just for fun, never could get into FFXIV

[porina]

Finally ran a quick test since I had a system I'm tinkering with. And ffxiv is down for maintenance so I still need my fix for the day!

 

System is i3-6100 with integrated graphics, 1080p laptop standard.

2189 with ram at 2133

2571 with ram at 3333

So, a 56% increase in ram speed results in a 17% increase in benchmark score.

Will throw this on my intel rig to see if extra threads help in this game, it has a GTX 670 so will be vs the 1050Ti result.

CPU seems to make a much bigger impact, must admit was impressed.. game looks awesome, but subscription based games.. not interested sadly.

 

8 threads.

Was wondering if it was worth considering either 4k or 1080p144. I currently use 1440p60.

I like how the benchmark considers 35fps average as "very high" performance. This isn't a PS4!
