Hi, sorry for the new post, I tried reading a bit but couldn't fix my issues still, I'm playing ffxiv for my first day and it's been....well technically unpleasant since the game just doesn't want to run in a decent way.
This is my pc specs and then I'll explain the issues in detail
motherboard: asus maximus IV extreme
cpu: it-2600k clocked at around 4.2 but sometimes I push it more or less.
gfx: ati radeon 5870 normal drivers version 11.9 with CCC, no profiles(gonna try the ffxiv one next to see if it changes) no crossfire it's single GPU.(everything is set app controlled, forced vsync always on, other options only make it worse, what it's not app driven is all set to maximum quality.)
OS: windows 7 ultimates all updates done.
ram: 8gb ddr3 dual channel 2100mhz 9-11-9-28 (I know could be better but still, should be fine)
ffxiv settings: full scren 1920x1080 2xmsaa(tried 0 doesn't change anything)8 drawing quality,3 background drawing, shadow detail standard,everything else I didn't touch so it's all at standard, mouse hardware is enabled, other options aren't.
I'd say my pc should run this more than fine enough since even the benchmarks were all quite good even at high-ish settings but instead, when I play the real game it's....just terribad.Mostly what bothers me to no end is that with vsync either on or off there's a huge amount of tearing and it's too noticeable to ignore it.It's driving me mad any minute I keep playing since it's just not lookable.Also I tend to have huge stuttering moments whan that happens.In windowed mode the game is unplayable. I believe by eyeballing it didn't go more than 2fps at standard settings while windowed, nothing opened, so basically it's full screen or bust which doesn't make me happy since I have a tendency to over-alt-tab while playing <.<
Any help is appreciated...
