Occlusion Culling problem.

[Setesh45]

Hello there,

I'm experiencing a bit of a problem when occlusion culling is on, every time I move my camera even the tiniest bit the FPS goes cca 50% down and it seems there's nothing I can do about it.
I have 60-80 fps when the camera is still, but when I move it even only 1mm, the FPS goes to 30-40 and it makes the game look really jerky. (If I keep runing, so the scenery is changing everything is fine, but once I move the camera the fps drop kicks in)

This is my HW:
Intel core i5 2500k, 4 ghz
AMD Radeon HD6970
SSD Crucial M4 (only for Windows 7 64bit and FFXIV - ARR)
8gb of ram

I tried updating my drivers, even tried beta drivers, updated DX and everything I could think of, but nothing helped.
I tried playing with every possible graphics option in the game, but it has no effect on this issue, even if I lower the details to minimum the FPS goes down, just from a higher number. I even tried to reinstall my OS and got a fresh game client.

I had this issue before the last patch, but it seems it got worse with the patch going live.

I found the following topic in the solved issues, but it never really got solved and nothing I could find there really helped:

If anyone has an idea what to do, please share it with me. A help from an experienced moderator would be more than appreciated.

Thanks & regards,
Seth.

PS: I also play other mmorpgs, I have most of the well known mmorpgs and they all play just fine.

No-one?
Am I the only one having this issue now?
I really like this game, found a great guild and all, so I'd like to keep playing, but I can't stand low fps. I mean, I know there are lots of people having lower FPS than 40, but I get nauseous when my FPS is below 50-55.
I think I suffer from a light case of OCD (obsessed with details), and I'm also sensitive to light frequencies, so low fps really causes me physical problems...

Merry Christmas to all ,
Seth.

PS: I asked my guildmates about it and some of them have the issue to some extent as well.
