Ah haha... Fucking S-E. After hearing about this, I no longer have any interest in FFXIV.
This shit frustrated the fuck out of me with FFXI, and we had reprieve in the form of a user mod, but that shit fucked up everytime they updated with a patch.
It doesn't even make sense this time. Play in windowed mode and it'll be fine. Don't play in windowed mode and you're subjected to a very arbitrary rule about not been able to alt tab.

It's a bug. It was intentional with FFXI at release, however they've since provided a windowed mode for that and are providing one for this game as well. Sorta defeats the purpose of disabling alt-tab.

Benchmark works fine on ATI Cards. Make sure you're up to date on Drivers and have downloaded the latest DirectX Runtimes.

is this good? lol

4870 1gb
also benchmark score for high res with full screen file in place was 2253 with 17635 for loading.
Broadbandito said:
Thats about the same score I'm getting with my 4870, I think once they sort the ATI bug in the beta it will run very smoothly.
When im not having slow down issues (due to the bug) im easily hitting the 30 fps cap.
I still might get a 5870 just so I can run the game with full settings.

The benchmark just crashes for me, and I can't figure out a way to make it work. ATI 4850 here.

update catalyst control and direct x. same thing that was happening for me.

This is the best that I could do.
1080p
258.96 WHQL candidate
Q6600 @ 3.2
8GB G.Skill DDR-1066
GTX 470 @ 760/1520/1850
All driver settings reset to default (I usually use highest quality settings.)
Fullscreen hack enabled, which is why this was taken with a digital camera
Nvidia should be ashamed of the TWIMBTP logo on this benchmark. Their hosting the benchmark on their own servers is a waste of their bandwidth too, if anything the company hosting this benchmark should be ATI because of how much higher ATI cards score than Nvidia cards.

Um, no. People with 5850s score around 4200-4300 at stock clocks and 4500+ when OCed. People with 5870s are breaking 5000+.
Do we know the core-cap? Four? Eight?
I'm just kinda surprised seeing Blizzard only supporting 2 cores max when FF14 is taking use of a higher number.
As you said, more cores != better coding efficiency but I wonder if this is a bi-effect of having to work on the Cell/PS3.
On the PS3 there's heaps of games (especially 1st party) that slay FF13 in the performance department so SE might not be reference material on any platform right now.

RTS games can be just as challenging on the CPU as any other game, StarCraft 2 is just not one of them. It designed like every other Blizzard game to work on anything reasonable.Jinko said:
edit: WOW I can't believe SC2's minimum requirements state a ATI Radeon 9800Pro & a P4. Man that 98000Pro was a sweet card back when FFXI launched. :lol

"I worked on Final Fantasy XI for 8 years. I was able to collect a lot of feedback and testimonials of MMORPG players. But I also heard many moving stories from the players. A lot of things happened between them. So I had a great pleasure in working on a new MMORPG and I will be able to hear many new stories written through the game.
We do not try to compete with World of Warcraft. We really want to convince the fans of Final Fantasy who have never played an MMORPG. But also show to casual gamers that MMORPGs are very exciting to play. We really hope that Final Fantasy XIV will be a good first experience for those new players.
With this title we want to bring new players to the MMORPG experience, so we spent a lot of time to manage the play time. We know that MMORPGs can consume a lot of time for players. We have therefore created the "Guild Leaves" and an armory which will allow players to use their playing time effectively. This is one of the main novelties of this Final Fantasy XIV.
We really wanted to make quests less repetitive as possible for players. In Final Fantasy XI, when you were done with a quest, it was not meant to be repeated. Instead in Final Fantasy XIV we really want the players to repeat them as many times as they want. Attempts are being made to make these quests as pleasant as possible so that players do not feel bored.
The development of Final Fantasy XIV occupies all my time, so I do not have time to play other games. I am therefore sorry to say that the last game that pleased me as a player is Final Fantasy XI.
We have not yet anything in mind to the Playstation Plus members. You'll have the traditional achievments for all players, but nothing special for Playstation Plus members. "

Weird. But that's kind of disappointing to me, the quests that were not repeatable in FFXI were really my favorite part of the whole game -- the ones with a lot of story that you wouldn't really want to repeat a bunch of times, but were fun the one time you did them. All the repeatable ones were pretty much "bring me 10 of this item." I hope they've got a decent balance at least, maybe I'm just reading it wrong.Teknoman said:

They arent talking about story missions, they mean normal every day quests you would do to get money. Pretty much the guildleve system in action, which also has adjustable difficulty depending on how many people you are with. The story missions are still there and pretty detailed.

1080p Scores:
I'm getting excited for this beta test, especially after watching the benchmark play. Here's to hoping I get in! =) I remember starting the beta for FF11 for the PS2 (with it's 9 hours of patches after what felt like 2 hours of installing to hard drive) and enjoying it for a while. Good Times

Will run the high res some time tonight. And I haven' OC'ed the CPU yet!
