To be honest I thought more people would bite I really wanted to talk about how peoples computers run ffxiv. /sigh this was in no way a thread to try and brag. I am sorry if it came off that way I'm sorry.

I was also wondering about how the game runs on high-end machines. I'm particularly interested about how it runs for that guy using an intel SSD. I find that slowdowns related to loading dynamic content are really annoying to me. It happens quite a lot on my current machine with XIV, and it seems to also on your machine. I'm wondering if this is a function of the video drivers, so if anyone with a radeon card could add a comment...

Loading slowdown also happens on XI with my current machine, but it only causes maybe 100ms pauses. On my previous athlonXP machine with a radeon 9800, there were no loading-related slowdowns. I was very disappointed to see that model loading causes whole-second pauses on the Playstation2 version of XI.

The funny thing about this is look at you CPU usage when it happens.. I think it might be you CPU, or definitely the hard drive, I want to get a couple SSD and put em in raid but I just cant justify spending that much money while the price per gb is so high.

Well I mentioned the athlon XP because although it was about 3X slower than the e8400 CPU and GPU, it didn't have the problem. I'm still using that same hard drive too, however I reformatted & reinstalled XP on the new system.

If you want to experiment with an SSD, just get a single 16G one and put XIV on it
