I do not have nearly the system req's yet i was able to play without much problem at all,as most everything was loading instances,the game said it was loading instances.
I have very little lag,and i don't need any fraps to tell me if i am graphically lagging,it should be obvious.The only issue i had was my Galkan/Roegadyn did not move naturally it looked bad like a Korean type animation.
Mouse lag,didn't notice anything ,sure there was some hitching as expected since my machine is way under the standards,but it was quite playable.
These are the posts like this that make this thread fail. Pretty much everybody in this thread failed. You can say all you want with how smooth this game runs but if you don't post an SS with the count of the frames than how is anybody going to belive you or take you seriously. If you don't want to make the effort in following what this thread asked you to then just don't post in it and let this thread die. I was hoping for making some kind of a resurce thread with actual documented proof of how this game is running on these different computers. There is nothing of value in this thread at all. I guess I should just thank the posters for at least a half assed effort to get this thread to 6 needles pages.
Based on a few days of play, I think this game has issues with ATI graphics cards. I have a high end DP workstation with 5970 crossfire and it seems to struggle compared to an old Core 2 desktop with an nVidia 295.
The game runs like shit if you're even close to other players. When i'm in wide open fields by myself, my FPS is a solid 60. Four or five people show up, it goes to 40. Ten or twenty and the it tanks 15-20fps.
If my FPS goes below 40 I don't have fun. I won't be buying this product.
no game comes out full optomized.do u enjoy teh game?is it lagging or u just got low fps?are u doing the weekly maintence on your computer that a gaming pc requirest?
Feel like elaborating on your weekly gaming PC maintenance? Maybe I learn a thing or two.
for me its a complete cleaning, degrag,spyware and also go thru hd and remove excessive stuff.
on this comp i have 1.5terabytes of space on it but i only use that for installed stuff. backups and anythign thing like say movies or something i download is stored on a external 1tb drive.when i clean my comp its not just a simple blow it out i take out the vid card clean its fan and such. i remove the cpu fan assembly and clean off the heatsink. depending on your knowlege of your computer its about a hour work.mostly u notice o focus on keeping tthe temp downin it. every bit of heat your comp makes is performance loss. right now running ff my tem be between 70-80c. well my whole case i modifed to keep everything cool in it even the fans are put to allow air to circulate and exit the computer. running ffXIV on max settings but for shadow and aa on a single geforce 475 with 8gig of ram on win 7 64bit im getting 14-20fps in city or crowde areas. didnt look to see what i had in middle of knowwhere.
basicaly if u use your computer mor than 2-3 hours a day u should be doing maintance on it every week to 2 weeks. defraging your hd is based more on how much u add or remove stuff from your computer hd.
to the guy claimign still he can make out a difence in 40 and 60 fps no use argueing with u. i know whats been proven and i dont care realy if u get 20 or 60 fps. cause if cause if u crying about a game thats not optimized for just your setup your argument for me is null and void.like i said in a earlier post they will make it to run good on the most computers then optimize it more to work on the more custom built computers.u dont know from experience cause yur eyes cantt see no difference u only seeing what u belivei u want. i have 1518 or so vision and anything over 35fps on any of the high detaiol games gives me headaches cause i know its to much information for the human eye to properaly use. well done with that guy

Disable your crossfire and you will see your fps going up drastically.

If you don't believe that the eye can detect more than 35 fps, then do the research yourself. If it's really impossible for you to see any more than that, it's obviously something on YOUR end, not anyone else's.
Speaking of headaches - trying to read your post comes close to giving me migraines. Spelling/grammar checkers are your friend.

I defrag my system at least once a month. The kicker is it never has to defrag anything. Thats with 2 1 tera HD and 2 externals 500gig and 320gig. Really virus ans spyware scanning should be automatic. Though people still rarely run it which amuses me. Personally I run it twice a week which is something I have done for years. Cleaning out the computer is something to be taken on a person by person basis. Doing it every week is going to lead to a mishap especially when the person isn't certified or have a decent knowledge on every thing. On a personal level cleaning out the system is something I tend to do at least once a month, but I have gotten away with 2 months and not really seeing much dust. This is pretty basic stuff gamers should be doing along with updating drivers, and powering down the system to clear caches.
On the fraps talk, I have yet to see my game run any higher then 28ish, around a few people it drops to 18. The thing is visually I dont see much stutter or lag in fram rates that Fraps said shold be apparent. Adjusting the game settings doesnt do anything, changing the G. Card didnt do anything either.
everything else maxed - including AMD CCC settings.
I didn't get exact framerates, but I was playing in Gridania and whether I was out killing, running through town, or in a guild I always had smooth play with just a few chops here and there. I did however have slight mouse lag. The pointer seemed to move about .5 seconds behind my own movements, no matter the refresh rate or sensitivity. This also happened more noticably when using menus. Menus are also a bit slow to open, like the game is having to search for the menu display each time...
Other than that, breathtaking world! It's going to take me a long time to get use to this game.

How did your CPU run cause my Q6600 was running a bit harder then I would like. A few pages back you can actually see the numbers.
I'm sitting at work now so I can't tell you without possibly lying. I have terrible memory... I'll check again when I get home and update this thread. I seem to remember each core at 60%+... but don't take my word for it just yet.
People seem to be having problem with nvidia drivers on FFXIV, personally I had problems with 3 different nvidia cards once I switched to windows 7 and had to go with radeon. The ion shared driver just didn't cut it for some of their cards. the directx thing is when you try to alt+tab, so don't do that.
also, may I ask why you are running 64-bit if you only have 4gigs of ram? Seems like people running 64bit have more crashing issues, people running nvidia cards have more driver issues, and people running crossfire/sli have the most framerate issues.
EDIT: real driver support for ffxiv wont come out till after the game releases most likely. just because you have the most recent nvidia drivers doesn't mean it's working 100% with ffxiv.
I've tried just about every combination of resolutions/options in the config tool without any help. I load into an area where there are usually 10-30 people nearby, and sit on 7-8 FPS. The largest resolutions swings I've seen is from 2-10. I've tried assigning various CPU cores which seem to make a difference but don't help over default settings. 1 core gets maxed, anymore then that usually 1 or 2 cores will be getting maxed.

Everything is stock settings, latest drivers after using my slightly older ones were running it bad as well. Basically it seems this game has very poor compatibility for PCs. Some systems work, some don't, it doesn't seem to be a matter of how good/bad their hardware is, more about if their drivers work good or not in FFXIV and if their hardware has been optimized and compatible within FFXIV.

I have not had any noticable performance issues. If you get alot of people running around, the shadows do tend to cause what I call "hiccups" or "tearing" on screen. The UI needs work definately - - but that will occur with time. As I recall, the FFXI UI at first TOTALLY sucked, and everyone was complaining about it. I definately will be playing this game at release, and I am very anxious to see how SE transforms this into a fully functional game. Like I said, Final Fantasy XI had the SAME issues at start....I remember them well. Overtime, the issues resolved and the game started to thrive. I am sure it will be fine.

I tried the solution in the post you linked, it made a very minor difference. When I look away from players my FPS goves up a bit from 8 to 10-12. There are still plenty of issues out there.
The game runs fairly well under low resolutions and with all the bells and whistles turned off. Going to upgrade to a 5770 1GB and I hope that it will let me run it in at least 1600x1050.
The game runs like crap for me. I turned everything down as far as it can go with the game settings and the nvidia control panel, and then I ran everything on max. It doesn't make a difference. I get 25-45, average about 28 fps. The video cards are running at 99% constantly and cpu at 65%.
I can run anything else on high everything with AA enabled and get 50-60 fps steady.
It's weird that a $300 PS3 will probably run this at a constant 60fps, meanwhile people's $3000 computer can't.
I really want to get this game, but I am very disappoint. I can't play a game that stutters this bad.
It run fine on my PC and it isn't something special:

This is an atrocity. Your system specs should be able to handle two FFXIV's, not to mention one. Are your drivers up to date? I'm just going to say that this game's optimization is piss poor.
The game doesn't seem to support SLI, as I get identical performance with it enabled or disabled and it may have been my imagination but it looked funny (I thought) when I enabled it, so I have SLI disabled and the 2nd GPU running as a PhysX card. Not sure if the game supports PhysX, but whatever.
Minimum 20 fps in busy areas. 50 FPS in open areas.

"Traditionally, massively multiplier online games have been about three basic gameplay pillars combat, exploration and character progression. In Alganon, in addition to these we've added the fourth pillar to the equation: Copy & Paste."
This is an atrocity. Your system specs should be able to handle two FFXIV's, not to mention one. Are your drivers up to date? I'm just going to say that this game's optimization is piss poor.
I think there is some issue with the game and SLI. Might want to disable it and see.
Drop the next-gen marketing and people will argue if the game itself has merit.
You can play this game on a mediocre computer. My rig is over two years old and I can play fine.
Blackbird 002
Windows 7 Professional x64
Intel Q9450 Quad Core @ stock speed 2.66 ghz/core liquid cooled
4 GB Corsair Ram
2x Nvidia 9800GT SLI
The game doesn't seem to support SLI, as I get identical performance with it enabled or disabled and it may have been my imagination but it looked funny (I thought) when I enabled it, so I have SLI disabled and the 2nd GPU running as a PhysX card. Not sure if the game supports PhysX, but whatever.
Minimum 20 fps in busy areas. 50 FPS in open areas.
