Optimal video cards for streaming FFXIV

[silverlunarfox]

Hi, Unfortunately.. My Video card works well for every other game. currently I'm running an AMD R9 380X card, which does not handle the age of this game very well at all. I'm on a budget in terms of what I'm willing to pay, I'm not graced with infinite money fora brand new modern NVIDIA card.

I'd like to know:
What cards you run
Do they work well with other games (Overwatch, Borderlands, whatever)
How much RAM does it have
How much is the card

If you aren't sure, the best thing would be the full name for it so I can look on newegg. I'd love to play this game more but AMD card haven't been built to deal with the DirectX problems in this game, specifically the R9 series.

You should list your budget as well so people can tell you closer to what you're looking for, tho I am surprised yours can't handle it. It runs on my husbands potato.

So here are two I have (all running 1080p 144hz)
Computer #1
Nvidia GTX 760
High for FFXIV 60 FPS, Low-Medium on most other intensive games, 60-ish FPS. Depends if you value looks or FPS.
8gb RAM
I doubt you'll find it even used.

Computer #2
Nvidia EVGA GTX 1070 SC
Max FFXIV 80-144 FPS depending on busy-ness of area, Ultra-High 80+ FPS in other intensive games.
16 gb RAM
Cost $350-400




That being said newer Nvidia and AMD cards should be better than what you have, even the near budget ones if you're just looking for a temporary fix. So give us what you're looking for and we can help you even better! ^.^
