not really a defense of anything. My eyes have just become acclimated to better stuff so it kinda hurts in a way. At least in 1080p. Don't know why it just does. Have no problems with other games though.
I think it's the high rest character models and super low res looking textures doing it to me when seen right next to each other.
I got 11120 on high/1080p with a 660Ti, 2600K and 8GB.

The benchmark is very, very CPU capped.
My ancient laptop GPU was hardly touched at the default 720p setting with a utlization of around 30-40% on average, which is bad. (70-75% for 1080p medium)
My laptop's CPU, on the other hand was reaching 60-65% utlization throughout. CPU bottlenecking is very evident.
Not much VRAM is used throughout, GPUz reports only around 250+ MB used at any given time.
At 720p default:- 4616
(felt very smooth throughout, i had FRAPS running together, and FPS never dipped below 30, except for certain parts, like the massive crowd of mobs near the end)
At 720p high:- 3758
At 1080p medium:- 3119
At 1080p high:- 2289
Specs:-
Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 2.8GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon 4670 1 GB
8GB DDR3 RAM

If anyone wants to see what the game is like, I've uploaded a nearly three hour video of the game's offline tutorial. I grind all the way to level 10 then do the story events. There will be some pauses in my playing though, because I was chatting and doing other stuff as I played. I also switch the graphical settings up about half way through the video too.
I'll see about doing the extended offline portion later.

Thank you! watching it now.
Poor Nintendo. I'd much rather play it on PC but I was kinda looking forward to a Wii U version in the states... guess that was a pipedream.
I created the account and got into the beta but where do i download the client at?

You don't need an account for the Offline Tutorial (up to level 10) or the Extended Offline gameplay (up to level 20) so anyone can play it if they like.
Hmm, this game must really be optimized for nVidia cards then. My 7950, at the overclock it is at, should be on par with a reference 680
Thanks i cannot wait for the install hopefully it is worthy of the DQ name

Been playing it all day. Trust me dude, it's very much a DQ game. So far it's pretty damn great

That's for if you have a security token associated with your account.

Maybe it's because I just played VII, but this looks fantastic for a Wii game scaled to 1080p. I need a localization of this man, it seems way cooler than I imagined. I just wish I could figure out which toggle is for Vsync...

Wait... so this is effectively a free offline trial of a Dragon Quest singleplayer game up to level 20?
Sweet! Will be downloading the 1GB file.
Grab the beta client here, install it, then choose the offline trial option(?):-

Watched the benchmark video on yt. So cute and so much charm
Shame it's ugly though. They seriously cut a lot of corners there
Shame it's ugly though. They seriously cut a lot of corners there
It's not just the difference in power and architecture which they have to consider when developing their engine, it's also about the details of taking advantage of the different features of the consoles that need re-architecting -- Miiverse vs. sharing features on PS4, trophies vs. in-game achievements, online play structure, controller inputs (GamePad touch screen vs. DS4 touchpad). The potential or actual sales of the game on one platform, the cost in time, money, and complexity of porting the game to another platform, the timing of release for a potential port, etc. all factor in. It probably won't happen easily.
Partially, yes. The offline portion is significantly gimped (no class or race choices, takes place on a very small island, and your character is pretty overpowered for most of it), but otherwise you're free to play.
Also it's actually 3GB. You download another 2GB after it's installed. It's also entirely in Japanese, although you can manage with enough common sense and fiddling around.
Cool, thanks!
Is there a way for a north american user to play the online portion?

Anyway, about the announcement itself, I'm surprised by the comparative lack of hysteria from Nintendo fans that game would come to the PC.
(Anihawk's trollbait post not withstanding)
I guess it'd be a different story if it was about DQ XI instead.

Yes, but only with a proxy/VPN that makes it look like you're connecting from Japan. Overplay is a good option.

overclocked my cpu and got a score of 3897 on 1280x720 at mid settings, not bad.
I don't know how much you know about Japanese culture...
how'd I miss that one? figured anihawk was referencing something. lol ami you cray
I do not do MMOs on consoles so if this comes to the west I might try it out.

Yep. Benchmark is very CPU limited.

......Was I the only one who expected this?
Square and MMOs equal as many platforms as possible even if its behind. Guarntee FF14 will hit Xbox one and PS4 at some point to.

I noticed, I didn't expect that big of a bump until I saw your previous post lol.

Didn't you notice those TWIMTBP NVIDIA logos plastered all over the benchmark?
The Japanese side of Squenix and NVIDIA have this working relationship for MMO ports and games it'd seem.
FF XIV, The Last Remnant and this game are optimized for NVIDIA cards.
The irony of it all is that the Western side of Squeenix (Eidos et.al) cuts deals with AMD instead.
AMD's gaming evolved logos are emblazoned on Tomb Raider (TressFx), Hitman: Absolution, Sleeping Dogs and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
They had day 1 optimization for AMD cards and it took a while to iron out performance for NVIDIA cards.

I don't think anyone's too up in arms because it was mostly expected (PC port and f2p were the two top guesses in the big announcement thread) and it's really not a big deal in betrayalaton terms. Like when FFVII or FFXI went to PC.

Everything maxed.
The first option isn't. Select the top option from the drop down menu to max it.
It should have 4 kanji characters not 3.
Top option:- High
Middle option:- Medium
Bottom option (3 kanji characters):- Low
You were essentially testing at 1080p Low.

So chances of this coming out in English or will i have to learn Japanese.

Well, it's coming to whatever has the biggest install base in Japan when they do announce something...don't know how popular PS3 was in Japan but I bet 3DS passes it by then.
That's medium settings.

I finished the offline section, I really like the graphics and the combat seems solid. It's basically FFXI's system without the auto-attack and a bit more Turn-based, at least in feel. The extended offline section isn't available.
"'ve been trying to use a VPN to login to the beta test but not dice so far. I login into the VPN, and I try to get into my account but I enter the correct password and nothing happens. If I enter the wrong password, it gives me the incorrect id/password message. if I take off the VPN it tells me I can't sign in from foreign IPs. So there has to be some sort of trick for me to get it to launch using the VPN. >=O

That's not how it works. It will be a 3DS game.

I verified and technically you're right, so I stand corrected there, but I think this is a bigger deal than those old ports as this is the latest DQ game and not a 20 year old port.
I think it just doesn't work with that VPN. I couldn't get it working with that one either.
Gloam has an active Overplay account, so hopefully he'll chime in about whether that one works.

Not really good SLI scaling or none at all it seems. And despite my 4.5ghz OC, it seems I'm hardly getting any CPU use out of my 6 core 3930k.
Only showing the Precision cap to show my GPU2 temp not really doing anything while GPU1 is stressed more.

3DS already has higher sales than PS3, but the rule about this is outright bunk that just gets repeated a lot. There is a high probability of it happening though, naturally.
