I'm running windows 10 atm, I'll post my findings when I get home....curious as to how good it is, been running everything on it so far and I love the OS.....even more than 7. Have had no issues at all with drivers as well.

I honestly thought the laptop would get lower than this, so it's nice to see.

Nah, cat girls have that really annoying round face.

After I nerfed some of the settings. Victory screen had nothing but disappointment from my party. Business as usual lol

My PS3 might actually run it better than this

Have you thought of building a PC? Or maybe getting a PS4? Just curious.

 

[Jayhawk]

Are you insulting your in-game ancestors? Or your catboy is somehow unrelated to any catgirls?

 

[Croyles]

I was expecting a bit more than that.

Does running dual monitors affect the performance?

I guess I'll try with distant objects in low res and lower water tessellation.

My "Loading Times By Scene" was 40.7 seconds.

Just heard that the next Letter Live from Producter (XXI) will be held in Nantes, France which surprise me because there is no event in May in this city. It's not a small city but it's not as big as Paris so it's kinda strange for me (not because I live in Paris but more because they organize events in Paris, where the majority of press are located). So maybe, this is the moment to talk more about Heavensward and maybe European Server ?

 

[Isaccard]

D: Is it bad?

Not at all; just the ones I've seen are much lower than nvidia user scores.

Some people in here need upgrades though, yikes

 

[Kagari]

Are you insulting your in-game ancestors? Or your catboy is somehow unrelated to any catgirls?

Catboys are more refined. Angular faces, no fangs. Etc etc.

 

[iammeiam]

Said It before and I'll say it again: Catgirl 2.0; the biggest mystery is what will replace "Nyaa" as cutesy vocalisation, since not cat.

Spoiler

watch them get like 15 bonus DEX just to ruin everything.

Also Reddit gets right down to important things and adds Au Ra to the bust size comparison picture.

Would windows 10 (from 8.1) and a newer Graphics Card (from Nvidia GTX 680) Make any performance difference?
edit: running dual monitors.

 

[Kagari]

Uh, no. Soapy is adorable and you wish your bishie catboy could get a piece.

Soapy??

Oh dear.

 

[dramatis]

Can you even run the DX11 version? I want to see how this compares to the Grimm Grandiron benchmark score. All other scores are zzzzzzz.

Grimm can't beat my l33t score bro

Graphics card can't Dx11, so no.

 

[Valor]

Soapy??

Oh dear.

I dunno, Felix called her that once and I thought it was funny.

On an unrelated but INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT NOTE.

It has happened.

GOTTA GO FAST

Guess I'll go play Waifu Simulator 2015.

Oh so DirectX11 version has graphical upgrades? Yummy.

You're too slow.

I totally opened myself up for this one.

Might be time to upgrade from my 650 card...

 

[orion434]

So what's new in the Crafting Realm lately, I took a small break for 3 months, back in grad-school. I'm just stocking mats and materia. Did they increase the Mastercraft drop-rate on Artisan main-hand tools? I got 18 from 12 desynths yesterday.

yeah, when I saw someone with the same CPU as me but with a 970 instead of a 670 have like a 5 thousand higher score... I kinda wanted to upgrade

 

[EndcatOmega]

Fuck yo kawaii uguu demon princesses this is what I have been waiting for.

So spikey the spikes clip through the spikes. The glory of maximum JRPG. AF3 better be just literally be a robot made out of spikes.

Such an odd choice for a Live Letter location... Unless they're indeed opening a data center over there. Which would make sense, sort of.

 

[Trojita]

Dragoon armor looks so nice. Fit for a King Dragoon like myself.

Also the designs for the Aura are so much better than the Korean mmo wankbait we got.

I'm running an i7-3770k with GTX 670 and i bet i'm going to have the same #s as you. I'm thinking of getting a 970 myself. I'll post my numbers later tonight.

 

[IvorB]

Floating Continent is 3.1 so I guess whatever style of content that ends up being will be their "filler" one?



And each time I'll think it's about me?

So just like normal then, actually.



Hm ...

Do you want to do that kind of content with random people? The hard parts of Savage Coil, for instance, isn't really about the difficulty of the mechanics themselves. Most of them aren't that bad. It's the level of coordination needed on the fly for them. The idea of doing that with random people is frightening to me; you can't really build up that coordination quickly.

I liken the "CT difficulty" to more mean like ... CT/ST/WoD or even nerfed Second Coil design where the coordination checks are scaled back. You need mechanics to be dealt with at an individual level rather than at the group level.

Well some stuff is always gonna be tailored to statics and that's cool. But CT is the opposite end of the spectrum and way too easy. At least if they could make the junior raid EX primal-level that would be better. I dunno, maybe I'm just a real small demographic...

[Pyros_Eien]

Such an odd choice for a Live Letter location... Unless they're indeed opening a data center over there. Which would make sense, sort of.

I don't think there's data centers for any mmo in Nantes though? A lot of them tend to be in the netherlands or in germany, with some in Paris. Does sound kinda weird, so maybe. Could probably do the new 6 mudras ninjutsus in half a GCD with that kind of ping. And yes it's inside NDA info, but the new ninja skills are all 6mudras combinations, and they're adding 3 more base mudras, but only 3 ninjutsus out of these thousands of combinations, everything else is rabbit hat.

 

[aceface]

Just to note, you can have your character featured in the benchmark video, whatever one is in the default save slot in character creation is in there. I loaded up my saved data from 2.0 and it was my lalafell flying the dragons around and doing the dragoon lb at the end.

 

[DarknessTear]

zzzz mediocre PC. Had to run it on DX9 because DX11 wasn't doing so well. Lots of pretty bad dips.

 

[SliceSabre]

Dragoons aren't kings.

Kings and queens of jobbing and making healers' lives miserable.

What I was getting at is that the mechanics for CT/ST/WoD vs Coil are about individual reactions vs group ones; what makes CT/ST/WoD so easy is that the fights are essentially tuned for an 8-man (maybe 12) but you're given 24 bodies. I wouldn't really take "CT-level" to mean just as easy when you only have 8 people.

Edit: In other news, I forgot to download the benchmark oops.

Apparently Nantes is one of France's Internet backbones (I don't know anything about how that works so don't ask me, just parroting what Knowledgeable Friend #03 told me after researching for all of 2 seconds) and it would probably be on the cheap side compared to the "regular" locations I guess? That would be awesome news considering we haven't heard anything about a EU DC in months

You are going to have to kneel under the ground. My throne is laid horizontally to accommodate my dead body on the floor.

Edit: In other news, I forgot to download the benchmark oops.

I just want to add on to this that CT/ST/WoD raids aren't meant to have tight mechanics the same way Coil does because you're coordinating 24 people, which is pretty much impossible. Basically, there's a massive magin for error.

But seriously, can you imagine Cerberus tuned down to an 8 person fight? That would be pretty intense. Really, the boss fights in WoD are pretty good. If you made the mechanics a bit more focused and not as broad, they could be some very challenging fights.

Do you have a mattress there as well? I can't imagine that being comfortable.

You're talking to someone who enjoys having spikes protruding from every surface of their armor. They can't even sit down comfortably.

maybe they're made out of foam
