FFXIV and HD 6990

[Onidemon]

Then what would be the best Nvidia card to use?

I would say the GTX 580. The 590 is a dual GPU card and will suffer from the same crossfire/sli poor performance i guess.

I cannot believe that there is a lot of games out there with graphics 10 times better then FFXIV and that can be maxed with a single 5870 or the nvidia equivalent, yet the most powerful card on the planet will not max out FFXIV... i'm sorry but Japs suck at PC programing. Can't wait to see FFXIV on a PS3!

I was waiting to see if this was going to turn into a flame post. Sorry dude, but there is already a post about FFXIV and future optimization. Hope I was able to help you with your decision on a Vid Card to purchase. But I'm kind of thinking you only used the OP to trigger a post about FFXIV's DOF and AO and optimizaion, and that you really aren't planning on buying a new Vid Card at all.

And who are you to say i am not planning to buy a new video card at all? I think you are over stepping your boundaries here my friend.

I want to buy a new card yes and since i haven't seen anyone say they maxed out FFXIV anywhere i was wondering if ATI's latest monster would be able to do it but it seems that it can't. Someone suggested 2X 6970 which i might do since it will cost me the same thing or 50$ more.

It is not a thread to complain about AO and DOF, i was just frustrated to see that even the most powerful card on the planet won't do the job or maybe it is just ATI cards since i've read somewhere Nvidia performed better but i guess there is no way of knowing that.

I would like to see more information on this toppic in bold. I am interested to see what other MMO's there are that match FFXIV's graphics and can be maxed by a Radeon 5870 (Pretty good card anyways) With AA, Ambient Occlusion, Depth of Field, all maxed. :-)

You are way dumber than you seem if you were expecting to be the only person in the world who would get 60fps with settings maxed out, after being clearly warned that you wouldn't.

He's another troll, don't let him get under your skin.

AO is indeed the reason for your massive frame drop. The reason it works well on consoles is because their DX/OGL tends to be modified in a such a way that it works well, but PC's have a wider range of hardware so the AO will always be a less than optimal graphical option to use.

i have 2x 6850s i was gonna install PC only has HD5450 in it right now ; should i install both at crossfire or just use 1 getting confused as to wether ff14 will handle crossfire well. And how much ram do you guys have im at 6 right now and im thinking its not good enough.
