Post your Rig and the settings you play on

OS Name Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor, 2800 Mhz.
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P
Memory Corsair 4.00 GB
Graphics 2x ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
PSU 700w - Dunno what make it is
HDD seagate 500gb Serial ATA
Display LG 22" 1680x1050 Toshiba 32" LCD TV @ 1080p

Most of the time i play the game on my Monitor in fullscreen 1680x1050 with GPU's in Crossfire, i ran the game with all texture and shadow settings maxed but without AO and DOF as they do cause a bit of slowdown, the games runs around 40 to 50 fps average sometimes a little lower in crowded areas

If you want to see pics of my rig, let me know.

The settings I run FFXIV are:

16x AA
Ambient Occlusion : Turned off
Texture: settings are both high
Shadows: high

Under Nvidia control panel setttings on the advanced settings:

3-way alternate frame rendering is enabled
Triple buffering
V-sync is on since it's has so much screen tearing when I moved the camera around.

I also run 2D surround by the way but not 3D since my monitors are not capable of doing that. Looking forward later on though!

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 @ 2.81 GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR2 1200 (4x Reaper 2GB)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB VRAM
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

FFXIV Settings:
Display Mode: Windowed
Window Size: 1680 x 1050
Multisampling: No AA
General Drawing Quality: 8 (Standard)
Background Drawing Quality: 3 (Standard)
Shadow Detail: Lowest
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Depth of Field: Off
Disable cutscene effects: Off
Hardware Mouse: On
Texture Quality: High
Texture Filtering: Highest

FPS: 10-60 (25 on average) really jumpy. Gridania lags the most.
In general the game is all-round jittery and appears to skip a bit each time I move the camera or character. I can't seem to find a happy medium between the settings and my hardware. I thought the GTX 460 would solve all problems but wow...SE really has some issues here with their game!

I need advice on this, I'll be trying all types of random settings all night but what do you advise I set for my system?

Also more importantly, what do you guys think of my CPU? I feel it's causing my the problems in terms of lag. I should think the GTX 460 can handle the game at least decently. Right?
