Post your Rig and the settings you play on guys`

HEY EVERYBODY!! LOOK AT MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!

If he was really trying trying to brag, he'd be talking about an i7-990x running at 6+GHz with triple-SLI GTX580. The GTX570 and i7-2600k aren't top-of-the-line, ya know! :P

Nice setup, did you try to get the 2600K to 5GHz though?
My current system is a GTS250(810/2052/1250) with an e8400@4.2GHz, and 2G of PC2-9600, with a wd raptor 150. Its running XP-32. In crowded areas I drop down to 24fps, even when running with middle-quality settings and 1024x768

I'm thinking of upgrading my system with a setup similar to yours, so could you reply with some info:
When you enabled SLI, did you notice any additional increase in input latency, or micro-stuttering? Have vsync/triple-buffering enabled? What do you have your "Maximum pre-rendered frames" set to? Do you notice any (even tiny amount of) stuttering when characters models are being loaded from the HDD?

Well, when I enabled SLI, it took maybe a day or two to get a right feel for it. I didnt notice any real additional increase in input latency or micro stuttering, to be honest I am kind of a noob with a lot of these settings Vsync I have off with the triple buffering too, well I don't exactly understand what they do. I have the maximum pre loaded frames set to 3 which was default. Do you suggest I change it? As far as your last question yeah there is a lot of stuttering when characters load in Uldah for about 4 seconds and then it goes away. I dont quite notice it on the road. I did get it to 5GHZ :P the minute I started to run prime95 my cores jumped up to about 90 instantly, which makes me think that I need to re apply my paste cause I do have a really good cooler and it should be a bit cooler at that point I think. However it might have to wait for me to move it into the basement because my ambient temperature is really high. At 4.8 things hover at about 80 under 100% load, but then again how often am I under 100% load... almost never. I never really break 30% during regular use for the most part I dont think. I could test some stuff for you when game comes back up because I would like to learn more about those features you mentioned.

how much was your setup?

All together with case, 22 inch Samsung screen, extra cooler, keyboard mouse and so on for about 1400 USD.
I had a nvidia GFX card before but i get better score with the ATI.

I made another rig for my GF, a bit cheaper, no SSD, normal DDR3 RAM version (Geil) and the new AMD series CPU.
The AMD CPU dragged down the score by a lot...

Exactly.... Me and my LS mates love talking about FFXIV and our Rigs, and we talk a lot about how our rigs run FFXIV. My buddy is having an issue with his 5870, so I was hoping to get a few replies of that so I could help him out. We really do love talking about or rigs... my friend has 3 5870's setup, he is selling them for a 6990. I might try and tell him to wait for the GTX 590

im on a 486 with a 4mb hd and 32kb of ram
i have to play on all the lowest settings but it somehow runs

Make sure you didn't get a 486 motherboard with fake cache chips!

Built a cheap AthlonII-X4 system with onboard video for someone a few months ago. Tested it with the beta and it actually ran! But only got 4fps in crowded areas with the lowest settings

Dude... that is one hell of a rig man. Anyways I got an i5 750 @ 3.0 ghz, a ati HD 5770, 4gb of ram, p55 mobo, 1 tb hdd, and a 650w psu. I think I'm going to upgrade next Cyber Monday, probably to a 6950, i5 2500k or i7 2600k, 8gb of ram, a new UEFI mobo, which then I'll probably need to get a 750w psu or so.

Oh by then see what the Bulldozer is like! or the next socket of the Sandy Bridge. With triple channel ram.

i have a
ATI Radeon HD 5800
8 GB DDR-3 Ultra
Intel i7 8 core CPU
Intel X25-M SATA SOlid-STate Drive
Gigabyte P55A-UD3P mainboard

We have the same score in the benchmark and i payed a lot less for my machine (all together with a new nice case, extra cooler, 22 inch Samsung screen for about 1400 USD)
FFXIV runs awesome with all settings maxed.

I use this PC for gaming only... my workstation cost a lot more than that, the cost of the grahic card alone would be enough to pay a couple new rigs.

I dont see how you have the same score... can you post screens please. And what is this 8 core intel chip you have? is the 990X not only 6cores? I dont know much about the Xeon but I doubt you have those... and I dont even know what a radeon 5800 is . Lol its posts like this I was talking about in my orignal post lol...

No... I spend 3K on a hobby that I really enjoy. I dont only play games on my computer. I saved up and built it. I am not showing off at all or else I could of spent 10k building a computer. If you dont have anything good to add to the thread please dont.
