How good is your rig

Hey all this is my first post on this forum and thought I would try to make it a good one. So as the title says how good is your rig that you use for FFXIV.

The reason I ask this is because I use to play on my PS4 until my dog done a KO on her (it got knocked of the table and now it just overheats and shuts down). Anyway I thought I would try my hands at building a pc since I can play some games on it and do work on it as well. I can get a solid 60fps on it with desktop standard settings and 35-50fps on desktop high settings.

My pc specs are
Intel g3258 at 3.2ghz
4gb of coursair vengeance ram soon to be 8gb its on its way.
Gigabyte wind force gtx 750ti 2gb

I built this on a tight budget so I know it isn't great lol I've only just got the game installed today and played it for 10 mins before I had to go to work :(

My computer isn't very good either but this is pretty much the only game I play on it so as long as I can semi reliably play it on high settings i'm fine

Intel I5 2500k 3.3ghz

AMD Radeon HD 7950

8GB RAM

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/askara...s/#view=VHCypg

That's my build. The game runs about 40-60 FPS depending on where I am, with high settings.

I'm a big Sony fan and would probably still be playing the game on my PS4 if it didn't break but I thought I would try to build a pc for the same cost as a console. I ended up going over my budget by a bit. I'm happy to play it on standard settings to get that 60fps. When I get time I'm sure I could get away with increasing the setting a bit and not dropping to many frames. It's gonna take me ages to get used to Keyboard and mouse

thats a pretty good build for that price askaray

My computer is outdated, and I cannot upgrade it, so I have no other choice but to buy a new computer: new case, new hard disks, new CD-DVD reader/writer, new graphic card, new RAM, new motherboard, new processor. It really depresses me because it's epic to me, and quite expensive in Canada where the costs are much higher.

Thanks... I did a lot of shopping around because my budget was really tight (and I still went over... -_-)

i5 4460
GTX 970
8GB ram

Game runs most of the time at 60fps unless im in a zone with lots of "calm water" (hinterlands big lake for example) which generates tons of reflections and that kills CPU, also on hub places cause too many character models. Instances and such they all run silky smooth, if i disable vsync, it goes as high as 90fps in some instances.

AMD A8-5600K, Quad core with ~3.6Ghz
AMD Radeon R9 390, 4GB Memory
16GB RAM

Performance is rather inconsistent, but generally in the 50-60 range...

Alternatively, I do have a PS4 as well, which I'd like to use because of a more steady framerate... But I have no good setup to comfortably use a keyboard and mouse on it, not to mention redoing gearsets every single time I do use it...

Intel i7 3770
GTX 970
16 GB RAM
240 GB SSD

60 fps, sometimes dips in the 40s in Idyllshire, still good enough. Don't need to upgrade still, so I'm happy.

i7 4970k
980Ti
16GB Ram

Runs p gud in raids. Using a 144hz monitor as well.

i3-4160
GTX 970
8 GB RAM

i7 6700k OC 4,2ghz
16 GB corsair vengance 3000mhz ram
EVGA 1080 SC

get an avg of 90 fps everywhere up to 120-130 also running a 2560x1440p 144hz monitor

Intel i5 6600
GTX 980ti
16 GB RAM
240 SSD; 1T HDD

Use a 65" TV as my monitor and run 4k at 60 FPS. Only get the occasional dip to mid 50s in graphic heavy areas.

AMD FX-8350 (soon upgrading to current-gen i5)
16GB RAM
GTX 980ti
1920x1080 resolution

Consistent 60 FPS in all instances, even 24 mans where particle effects are filling the screen. Only places I get any noticeable slowdown are Idyllshire and, strangely, the Steps of Nald, when my camera is facing the Quicksand.

You need to lower a setting or two. There's no reason your rig can't run the game better than a PS4.

I don't have the specs, but I can run the game on highest graphics at 50-60 fps outside of dungeons and 60 fps inside dungeons.

Spent about $700 on the computer.

i7 3770k
GTX 970 x2 SLI
12 GB RAM (I think 1600 MHz)
Installed on separate SSD (Windows also on an SSD)

1440p 144hz G-Sync Monitor

I run ~100 FPS at 1440p in most areas at max settings, with HBAO and AA off. I drop to ~75 FPS when I use 1 GTX 970 instead of SLI.

My wife replaces her Video card every even year. And everything else every odd year. I get the hand me downs...

She rocking a Nvidia 1070 And last gen i7. with 8gb of ram 256 SSD.
She using a 1440p monitor
I have no clue what is in my computer.

I live by happy wife happy life.

My main machine is 7 and a half years old now, but most of it has been upgraded. The only original parts are the case, motherboard, processor and RAM.

Intel i7 920 (1st Generation!)
GTX 970
18 GB RAM
120 SSD (and 4x2TB drives)
Runs at about 60fps most of the time at 1920x1200 and I think it's probably my CPU that's the limiting factor.

My brother recently bought a 6th generation i7 which I'm rather jealous of, but I can't justify the spend while this one is still running so well!

AMD FX 8350 @4.GHz
16 GB Ram
GTX 1060

I'm set

I currently have a i7 3770k OCed at 4.2ghz
32 GB RAM
480 GB SSD
GeForce GTX 1080 SC

Except near Rowena's place when "sometimes" it will dip to 50 fps for a few seconds, everything is buttery smooth with everything cranked up. My "bottleneck" really is my HDTV which I use as monitor (because the Home Theater is nice for the sound) because it's a few years old and obviously not 4K.

I usually upgrade parts of my PC every 3-4 years (the GPU every 2 years or so), and I'm approaching this mark, so will probably upgrade the CPU and motherboard this spring (and the RAM too because it won't be compatible).

I built my own PC. It's a bit of a franken-server at this point, but I like to grab good deals when I see them.

Motherboard: MSI Z97
Processor: Intel i7 4770K
RAM: 32 GB DDR3 (super overkill, I know, but I got this for $50)
Video card: MSI GTX 770
Storage: 128 GB SSD, 1TB secondary platter drive, 2TB external USB backup

The rig itself is aging well, so I'm having the debate of doing a full rebuild vs just updating the graphics card. I keep an eye on the cost/power ratio at Passmark, and so far it hasn't been worth the cost to upgrade. The next thing due for replacement is that 1TB platter, as I've had some concerning behavior over the last few weeks. Everything is backed up though!

I am probably going to get a new laptop next year instead.

I run at a steady 50 FPS in most areas, only dropping in Idyllshire.

My PC is way overkill for this game but I play other PC games as well.

consistent 60fps except in areas with a lot of water as mentioned above, or once in a while with weather and lots of players. I'd like to upgrade but it's fully water cooled and I don't have the funds/ambition to justify an upgrade for the occational dip. Other things are just more important right now.

A lot of different builds going on then. I went to newegg.ca for most of my parts. Their delivery wasn't too great from my experience tho. I really wanted to get an ssd but I had already gone over my budget so I had to stick with hdd. I haven't tried it a whole bunch on my pc yet so the fps I have been getting were just a small part of the map. I'm hoping the extra 4gb of ram I get will help with the frame rate but I can't see that happening my self I think my processor isn't too good like i said it was a budget build lol

Seems like the GTX 970 and 980 is popular here.

I've had this rig for over 5 years now. The only upgrade I did was gtx 680 -> gtx 980 -> gtx 980ti and the SSD.

I get 60-100 FPS everywhere on max settings.

AMD FX-8350

Its been my game and school rig for several years with the Strix being picked up early this year due to issues with my HD7950s. It handles everything I need it to on demand so I see no need to upgrade it in the forseeable future.

AMD FX-8350
16GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 1060GTX
4TB HDD

The monitor is G-Sync capable. Gets about 115-120 FPS on average.

I'm lame.. I just play on PS4. I have NO luck with computers and they always break no matter what the cost. And I take good care of my stuff, case in point. I had my PS4 for a year and no issues. And it hardly gets turned off.

Swapped my PC for a Vortex laptop few years back (mid 2013 maybe)

Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-4210M (2.60GHz) 3MB
Memory (RAM) 8GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 870M - 6.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
Windows 10 Professional 64 bit

Runs the game at "almost" max settings 60fps dx11 in most places. can drop a little in the 24 man raids. or if I connect it up to my tv.
the only differences from max settings are the nvidia optimiser thing has changed my multisampling and depth of field a bit.

Probably not amazing by todays standards but definitely does the job and it's not very power hungry either. saves a fortune on electric

I've found that the improving the rig only has an effect upto a point, then it's down to the quality of the internet service and the game's latency.

Hi! This topic could help me too! (instead of making a separate one :p)

I'm looking for a PC build that can play FFXIV at 1080p and 60fps anywhere. (:eek:never below 60fps:eek:)
So, if you can play at 1080p60, what are your build/settings? :confused:

(I play on PS4 and the framerates it now offers give me headaches. So I'm looking at PCs and because of the investment it might be, I want it to be a sustainable solution!)

You can use your PS4 controller to play on PC (that's what I'm doing) IMHO it's the best setting, you can use X-hotbar with "PC" horizontal and Vertical bar as helper for cooldown visualisation (when they are in another Xhotbare than the active one) and other rarely used stuff (like invoking your chocobo to fight or some food) that you'll clic with the mouse.

There's some driver (DS4 Windows I think) that let you use the touch pad to add up to 7 shortcut (up,down,left,right swipe and up,left,right clic) you can even use the motion detection too !
