New PC not strong enough for the game?

1. Most up to date drivers for nVidia
2. Monitor plugged into vid card

Run the game in Windowed Mode so you can have the task manager up. Monitor your CPU usage while playing.

What is your CPU usage.

I use the same video output as with other games. My CPU usage in FFXIV is 60-85%, GPU power 5-20%, GPU load about the same. Other games force GPU power to 50-60% and load 60-80%
