set it to high settings and you will hardly notice the difference and get a higher score. Only thing that i noticed was the shadows

I looked up overclocking and ran it again. (Since I never had done it before. Been a console gamer always. FFXIV is my first real PC game) So i followed a guide to slightly overclock. And that Increased my Score. I assume since the temp of the GPU never went above 60 that I could overclock it more if I wanted? (anyone more familiar with overclocking know?) But I decided to play safe since there was no need to go higher.

I do plan to get a better graphics card. The One I got was kinda a starter card.
Well, I guess I won't have to worry about whether my PC can run the game or not this time. >.>;
