Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Benchmark Utility

[djmorgan]

I did two runs with Maximum preset and it seem that the Nvidia streaming thing changes things a little

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

This Has been a topic of discussion on other forums some claim it makes a hit on performance 3 to 10% as the streaming only seems to be for Shield if you don't have it you don't need it! some also say it is needed for shadow play!

Some here may complain your BM runs had things turn off, like:

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

I don't care

Well I did not customize the setttings, just hitted maximum then run

And concerning the service, yeah it seems it is needed for shadowplay but personally I don't care, I have set the service to be launched manually and it is set off everytime I don't need it. I'm more than happy with the small bump in perfs anyway !

Must need a faster ssd, the incessant giggling on the loading screen was doing my head in
