    I generally felt the game didn't work quite like in P3 and got worse with time. At one point I was getting less than 10fps I think, my music was sloow as hell and weird screetching from speakers going out lol. At that point I decided to restart my pc XD after that the game seemed to work fine.

    Can anyone post a sceenshot comparison of AO on and AO off using max shadows, preferably on an ati card? I know there is an AO bug also that gives a dark shadow across half the screen, does this still happen with ATI?

    Anyway, I am getting 35ish fps in crowded areas, and 60fps in the open, BUT I'm not sure if it's actually taking advantage of SLI or not because the 2nd gpu never goes past 20%...

    The opposite here. I can actually turn up settings and leave my overclock as is without my GPU frying! Seems MUCH better optimization.

    Not only does AA NOT put my GPU under full load anymore, but even going to max settings (AO+16xQ) puts my temperatures in line with other games where they should be as opposed to frying my shit like a torture test. Quite happy, HUGE optimization stride.

    what about people with GTX 460s? anything better? those cards seems to be doomed for FFXIV, atleast until Nvidia releases new drivers

    Ooh... shit this makes me wish I had done some formal tests on gpu in beta 3. time to test out AA

    I don't think it was just 460s, just seems 4xx in general. 260 was beating 460, but the gap in performance between 460s and 470s was spot on, 470 wasn't performing how it was supposed to either in beta 2/3

    Performance will vary obviously and I can only speak for myself, but this kind of optimization isn't possible on a per-card basis. All 400 series should see improvements in both temperatures and GPU load.

    Shading still looks like donkey shit on ATI cards. I really hoped they had fixed that.

    Running on my X3 720 @3.2GHz, GTX 460 with a itsy bitsy OC..

    Getting higher FPS in LL's tavern (I averaged 15-25 before, was getting 30-37 now), and running around town didn't feel like absolute shit this time.

    My friends GTX260 seems to be working really shitty in general. And not really now, even since P3 but he gave up back then hoping for better results in OB.

    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
    4 GB RAM

    Gets 15fps on almost the lowest settings. (using current drivers).

    Any ideas? X.x

    If it's not happening with any other game for him i'm not sure but other than that, there's some huge optimization issues with 4xx drivers and this game. I get a solid 50 or so fps outside town with people around but it dips alot to 25 fps~ in town on both 720/1080p.

    Odd. My 460 was working pretty smoothly at 1680x1050 4x AA @ around 30-37 FPS in that tavern you start at in LL. Ran around town pretty smooth too. But yeah, in Closed Beta 3, I definitely had a multitude of issues.

    Then again.. I dunno why it'd affect one specific card and the same card differently. They're still optimizing shit, obviously.. so who knows.

    People need to do actual average fps recordings with fraps or something, 30-37 is actually alot different than sometimes dipping below to 25 fps around alot of people in town.

    It's still not perfect but it's definitely better. I was able to find a few spots with AA on (foilage staring in Ul'dah) where I could get max GPU load AND capped FPS.. and temps shot up just like they did in beta 3. It's just much rarer to get in that situation than it was in beta3 due to the reduced GPU loads.

    I was basing that off my previous experience. In CB3, I got 15-25 FPS (while it was *really* jumping/skippy) in the same area I'm getting 30+ now.

    So yeah. Getting small temp differences (lower as compared to wtfhigh), but I haven't explored much.

    I have to say that the shadows really suck (at least for ATI cards). Not the shadows on the ground. Those look great set to highest. However, the shading across the characters, especially my character, looks horrible. Its all blocky or striped. I think I'll be forced to play with shadows turned off completely because I can't stand it.

    Using a 5870 with 10.8.

    I returned my SSD. I am not sure if I should get another 5870 and xfire or replace the SSD (it was corrupt).
