Ever wonder why this game heats up GPU's so much?

Bumping this thread.

the usage of your CPU from this game is -insane- and far beyond the level of the graphics themselves.

PLEASE FIX!!!!

edit; I just want to point out to people "without problems" or those who immediately jump at other's computer setup: even people with the best computers and up to date hardware have graphical problems with this game and see their computers get overworked. Just because you don't see or understand the problem, does not mean it doesn't exit.

Graphics usage is the topic of this thread, sweetie.

CPU usage is an entirely OTHER beast, very specific to the MMORPG genre. MMORPG's have insane amounts of non-graphics processing. It's well known that games such as World of Warcraft, Rift, and Everquest were nearly always improved by upgrading your CPU before your graphics card. I upgraded a friend from a Core 2 Duo 1.3 Ghz to a Core i7 and left in the GTS 250 she had. Frame rates went up to 40 fps in town from 26 fps in town on the setting just shy of Ultimate. (We later upgraded it to a GTX 480 on her next paycheck.)

Also, about 10% of a core's time is just sucked up by Window's TCP/IP stack on XP. I've seen better CPU stats in the TCP/IP stack in 7. The best bet would be to use an Ethernet NIC that has it's own processor to handle 100% of the IP and the TCP CRC checking. The OS still needs to process TCP to know what application to give the packet to. But the IP layer is system wide and can be handled on the card.

CPU was not the topic of this thread and it is a completely separate NM hunt in the land of game engine optimization. ;-)

This is just typical of SE, FF11 still runs like crap on the best PC's out there.

The game seems to have a bottleneck where the CPU is concerned, going from a radeon 4800 to a 6800 should give a significant jump in fps but in reality it doesn't, something very odd is going on with this game engine, I just hope they are fixing it.

Don't be naive, where do you think the instructions come from to draw geometry ?

Have a cookie.

It still doesn't run great considering its 10 years old.

id say for base atom processor and 1gb of ram with windows 7 ultimate 32bit.....
yeah, it's pretty good.

they better do something, because ps3's will blow up under the pressure of this game.

If I remember correctly didn't they test it on ps3 months ago and it fried it?
