The Final Fantasy XIV beta running at 5040×1050 presents quite a spectacle.
For those wondering about the technical aspects, the game is running at 5040×1050 on an i7 920 with a Radeon HD5970 5870 CFX and x4 AA on 64bit Windows 7.
Unfortunately, reported framerates will not rise above 15FPS.
A promising environment in which to kill rats.
Whoopdy doo, more graphics. Because those totally trump music, characters, story and gameplay.
well, first, to save $$
My immediate thought was that maybe the poor framerate comes from the fucking overkill resolution? Who the hell plays at 5040?! Has anyone playing at a REASONABLE rez had any issues? I’ve been signed up for the beta since it opened but haven’t been let in yet.
Gigantic Panorama? All the better to look at in close detail while my character takes forever killing a pig.
Why 3×1 portrait setups are better. 15fps with $1100 worth of GPU thrown at it? And still looks like s♥♥t? (maybe it’s just the screenshots) Certainly not TWIMTBP. I’m surprised SC didn’t jump on the ESRB’s comments about the upskirt shots or sexual innuendo contained in FFXIV though.
