    tested it again, 15 fps in LL tavern in 720p, 18 fps in the same place at 1080p. not much of a difference but... the fuck is wrong with my pc doing better at high resolutions lol

    edit: actually, running around La Noscea I have better fps than in beta 3, capping 60 fps everywhere in La Noscea unless theres people (before i was getting middle 40 to low 50s....). Is just in the city that I have shit perfomance leven with 0 people around, ike in b3. Guess i just have shitty minimum fps.

    Maybe I'm missing something but how are shadows on ATI cards messed up? I don't notice anything wrong on mine.



    That's with a 5870 and 10.8 Drivers

    I have a 5870 also it looks great but with AO on there is a shadow effect on half of the screen running diagonal from top to bottom. Been that way since alpha.

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).
    This is what he's talking about.

    Look at my face. I have the same card and drivers as you. Kinda weird.

    What settings are you using in your ffxiv config?

    It looks a little better, but it still looks bleh. Nowhere near as good as the nVidia cards I've seen.

    Everything positive I said about performance earlier only seems to pertain to Ul'dah. Gridania rapes my shit just as hard as LL did in beta3, temps and all.

    So does anyone else get funky looking shadows when they are reflected on characters?

    Like others have mentioned, I was seeing very bad shadowing on my ATI 5850. I was playing with settings, and set shadow detail to highest and multisampling to 8xQ MSAA -- now the shadows look much, much better. They are still a little harsh IMO (the line between shadow and not is very sharp) but all the jenky blocks and flickering is gone.

    Edit: A few days ago I submitted a report to them. Hopefully everyone with these shadowing problems can do the same and maybe they'll take a look into it. The website is

    If anyone knows a better or more appropriate place to send them feedback, please post it.

    That sounds like the same problem I'm having.. blocky shadowy textures on characters, the shadows look fine when they hit the ground or walls or whatever, it's just on characters that they look bad.

    well shit. Glad I picked ul'dah I guess. That must be why I felt it was running smoother in OB.

    Yep, I noticed much lower fps in general in Gridania, btw is depth of field supposed to have a big performance impact?

    I have the same issues with a gtx 470, so it can't be a radeon only problem. I find it weird that the game ran its best in beta 2 for me.

    it does for me. I dont remember that huge impact in b3, but I almost always played with it off anyways..
