GTX 780 running <20 fps at Revenant's Toll, normal?

There is no guarantee of anything, but by nature of design the PC will never be able to achieve the level of optimisation that a console can. Not to mention you cannot undervalue the benefit of not having to run a full OS like Windows

In the end, still doesn't mean much. There's a limit to what can be pulled out of the hardware on the PS4. Optimization or not. All intents and purposes, it's still a low-mid spec PC.

It's a DX9 game running on a DX11 designed card with a lack of drivers/optimization.

I don't think we'll see any improvements until then. I have an i7 3820 @ 4.2ghz and a GTX680 OC and my performance is garbage, but if I go turn on anything else my performance is through the roof.

Means a lot actually, but keep telling yourself otherwise if it makes you feel better.

I don't understand what your obsession is with optimization. Who cares if FFXIV is better optimized for PS4 when it will still run better on PC?

20fps seems awfully low for a single monitor

I pull 46 on tripple monitor set up. Although my processor is better there shouldnt be that much of a gap

His CPU is a 1st Generation i7 compared to your 4th Generation i7. It's also only 2.8 Ghz, which is on the lower end for the Generation. I run a 4670k @ 4.4Ghz and SLI GTX 780s, I get 60 pretty much everywhere except a few rare places, all at 2560x1600.

final fantasy 14 does not like 1st gen i7 processors

I recently upgrade my graphic card from 560 Ti to 780, and expecting a really smooth game.
Well it is, until I got to Revenant's Toll and point my camera to the crystal, the frame rate just drop below 20 fps.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, have the latest driver installed, my other hardware are not top class but still quite decent: CPU i7 930, 12 GB Memory.

The game graphic setting is set to maximum, is this normal or something wrong with my computer?

Thanks.

I went and confirmed how low I could get the FPS. It's lower than I thought it would be.

When I zoom out and angle the camera a certain way I got as low as 30 FPS.

System: i7 3930k @ 4.5 Ghz and GTX Titan stock

Interesting, reading through all early replies I thought the reason would be my CPU's 2.8G clock rate (during game it will be OC a little to nearly 3.0G), since those with hight fps all have CPU OCed to like 4.5+.
But if yours is stock clock, which is 3.5G, that's not that much better than mine.
Maybe I'll try to OC a bit more to like 3.2G and see if there is much improvement. Otherwise the later generation of CPU may be something more than just higher clock rate.

For the reason above I start to believe this now...

You would be mistaken. You forget that your CPU is a 1st generation, Ziar's is 4th Gen. Each Gen can do more per clock than the previous. So that 700Mhz difference is quite a bit more in reality.
