Episode 4 Character Creation Demo (Tier 6)

[Nitro Vordex]

A friend is saying the benchmark roasts their CPU, pushing it from 50 celsius idle to 70 celsius.
Mine only goes up by 6 degrees.

Is that a CPU fan problem or something?
They had some problems with the thermal paste wearing out before.

My CPU has been doing the same thing, however, my tower is also rather old. It may be time for me to change out the paste, but I've been having my tower idling at 60C. Recording stuff suddenly got really difficult. I don't wanna change out the paste until I get an aftermarket cooler for it, though.

I saw some other screenshots of other people that also have similar stats to me, but one thing I noticed was different is that they had Windows 10 instead of Windows 7, and they had better score.

It could be that Windows 10 does have some improvements that help PSO2's performance. Of course if you do have Windows 10 then I guess that theory is true. If not, then I'm not sure what could be making me lose performance.

I'm on windows 8.1 not touching windows 10 ^-^

I'm very curious as to why you don't get similar results as me with the same card. Is your CPU overclocked? My 4790K is at 4.6. Also what kinda 980ti do you have? I have the EVGA superclocked one with the custom cooler on it not the stock one.

I've seen screenshots of another dude with a similar rig to mine but he has a 970 and he gets 40K+ and that's with a 970.

Lastly in the old benchmark (the one that has Kuna in it) I would get a slightly bigger score if I was on windows 7 vs 8.1.

If this new one is anything like it then I would assume that windows 7 still gives you a slightly better score. However i'm not gonna format into windows 7 just to test this =P

A few things to remember

1) Windows 10 allows for Direct X 12
2) The 980 GTX card was one of the first cards that was Native Direct X 12, and not "Direct X 12 compatible"

In short, owning a 980 GTX and not running Windows 10 is a bad move.

3) I own 980 GTX Superclocked too because I love the 3 - 5 year extended warranty that EVGA gives you for buying one of their products FOR FREE as opposed to the shitty warranties that exist on other cards. One does not simply purchase high end video cards without having the backing of a good and reliable warranty.

4) Synthetic Numbers are meaningless and a marketting ploy when it comes to gaming:

40 - 100K is irrelevant

What is relevant is your Minimum, Average, and Maximum Framerate possible while running a game WITHIN the game's allowing maximum framerate for smooth animation.

5) Bigger Scores came in Windows 7 because Windows 8 demanded more resources and was made with a different idea in mind. Even so, the score was slightly better...


I know the answer to the following Question, but I want to see if anyone here also knows it.....

"Does anyone here know if the Tier-6 graphics remain completely in Direct X9 or do they break into areas that are handled better by Direct X 11 or 12?"

@Nitro
Thanks.
Friend is using an i7-950, I think? That's pretty old now.
They said that only SFV and the PSO2 benchmark raises their CPU temps.
Also checked for any automatic overclocking, and it didn't seem to be enabled.

[(Idola)]

Browsed through a couple pages and didn't see it.

Curious if anyone here has an HP Omen and how it fared with tier 6.

I couldn't run SFV well. I haven't bought it purely because I don't think my processor can handle it. I'm pretty sure that my CPU isn't being overclocked either. This problem only came up recently, so I'm starting to suspect the PSO2 benchmark a bit more.

Tier 6, 1080 virtual full screen

Spoiler!

Tier 6, 1080 full screen

Spoiler!

Virtual fullscreen reduce my score by 10%. But i am still liking virtual more.

Seems like if you're high enough in specs it won't affect you too much.

Is there an eta on when the update will hit the main game?

It's supposed to be around the time of the PS4 release, so late-April-ish.
