Read more on the new benchmark for Final Fantasy online here.
 
Not a bad benchmark. Couldn't stay above 60fps the entire with everything at max settings. Ended up with a score of 10391.

i5-4670k @ 4.2Ghz (I should really work on this OC)
GTX 780 @ 1215Mhz
 
Very animated benchmark not really my thing.... I'm old as is my box X58 vintage but handled it well

Anyone have issues with this, i cant complete the benchmark, it crashes on the section with those owl looking things

Stage 4 i think
 
No trouble at all here, very smooth, handles the benchmark at 105 fps maxed out at 1080p and 70 fps at 1440
 
The more I play around with the 780 Ti and 980 the more I think the 980 is a waste of time.

1440P, Max settings minus AA.


980 with 1500 on the core and 7800 on the memory -

780 Ti with only the power and temp bar raised which resulted in a tiny overclock of 1100 on the core and nothing on the memory -

I'll do it again with a proper overclock on the 780 Ti but the 980 won't go any higher.
 
Why I would rather a GTX 980 over others cost/performance :D:D Av FPS 67 Max everything

Which preset is that ?

Can't see preset 1 in the options.

Or better yet which settings did you use ?

I used max settings minus AA on my 980 with a 1500 overclock and only got 7.9k.

Save highest quality settings DirectX 11 only and then change display to 1440 and run benchmark, you can set up more presets to suit your needs. check settings. :huh:

You see this is why I gave up the game of bench marking years ago, it always turns into a pissing contest, here is the save file sort it out yourself contest finished, I am happy and that is all that matters :D Oh! you did get that I was running OLD generation Mobo and CPU? and still I'm up there :o:D=00=

No wonder you got higher you have a few FX disabled i.e -

-Occlusion Culling: Disabled
-LOD on Distant Objects: Disabled
-LOD on Shadows: Disabled

Oh and FYI it's not a pissing contest, You Aussies always aggressively jump then gun, I was just wondering how you got such a high score when we pretty much have the same hardware :)

Its more about your comment 780ti vs 980 so in fairness I turned on what you thought I might have turned off! but is actually the default for the BM.

Anyway sorry! 980 handles it just as well

There's no doubt for me that if you don't need to stream on a shield or to capture your gameplay, you'd be better to disable this service :)
