New PC not strong enough for the game?

Even with all the answers I have got, the fact still remains that all games run better on this than my laptop with i7-3630Q and GTX 660M. ALL except final fantasy. Secret world even requires better rig than FFXIV and it wors fine on ultra graphics on this PC. Someone explain this to me. Secret world recommends and i5 proc with 3.00 GHz while FFXIV requires i5 with 2.66 GHz. THIS means that the problem isnt the processor. The problem is that FFXIV doesnt use the GPU at all.

While SE's recommendations/ requirements aren't as intensive, FFXIV (currently) uses the CPU a lot more relative to the GPU than most games. I have FFXIV set up on 2 different PCs. One using a 560Ti with an i7 2600k, and another using a 550Ti and i5 3330. Both systems run the game well enough, though the first is obviously much better. The system with the 550Ti has no framerate issues with a few effects toned down @1920x1080. It's just because the Intel chip doesn't bottleneck anything. The game is very easy on a graphics card, but your processor has to be pretty decent. This might change a bit when they release the dx11 client, but that won't be for a while still.
