I can imagine you dont get full frames though no? with the 480

Why wouldn't I?

Oh I am sorry I meant to ask what resolution you ran at also. Which would make the difference I think.

I don't see anything wrong with the thread, honestly.

SE has mentioned(or at least it was an off-hand comment by Yoshi) that they're looking at the system reqs for the game and trying to determine whether or not they should do something about them.

While they're not actively doing any of that research right now that I know of, and they'd probably use a poll if they wanted to, this could provide some insight as to what kind of systems PC players of the game are running, and they can consider this data accordingly.

I dont get it... my PC is not even that expensive. Why are people having troubles with that?
This thread was also made to help people diagnose if everything is running well for them. Like a few posts back I found that if I turned off windows Aero I could get and improvement in FFXIV Benchmark, maybe it will transfer to in game. Maybe that will help others too. So in my opinion I think this thread had served it purpose alone. Especially if someone was on the border and that makes or breaks them playing. The main reason I posted all the stuff about me was to show what I wanted to see from others. What do you run FFXIV on Vesper?

Indeed. If anything, by posting my specs I just did the equivalent of jumping in a cold shower. E-Peen shrinkage!

I built mine on a budget, trying to keep under $500.

CPU: AMD Athlon II X 4 @ 2.6ghz
MB: ASUS M4A785TD-M
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333mhz
PSU: Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W
GPU: Radeon HD 5570 (I thought it had HDMI when I bought it, stupid me. I have to use a display port to HDMI converter.)
HDD: 250GB Seagate 7200 RPM
Case: NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
DVD: Can't remember. Lite-on? Sony? Not that it matters much.
OS: Windows XP SP3. Yes, I know about the memory limitation. I need to upgrade to W7.

I play fullscreen on a 42" Vizio at 1920x1080, with the background drawing distance set to high, normal drawing set to standard, and the textures set to standard. I can turn these up to high but I start chopping a little. I prefer a smooth framerate to excellent visuals.

Finally, for input I use a PS3 DualShock 3, and a Logitech K350 wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse.

Wow thats a lot of partitions lol ^^ I have a question do you find you can get max settings @ 60 frames with a single 580? I know a few people who have them, and they usually end up dropping their draw quality to 9 or even 8 for that matter. Another quest I would have is how do you like your keyboard, I am in the market for one finally, and I am debating what to get. I play with a gamepad in general fyi.

ok ya have a few questions.

first, yesh it is alotttttt of partitions and i took alot of time setting my system up before actually using it. the 2 drives actually have a total of 5 partitions in it. i have the main drive split into 180 gb for windows xp so i can still play with vb6 because is unsupported by vista and 7 with 64 bit.(i know there is a patch, but parts still do not work.) my vista and 7 both have 230gb partitions. i keep saying i am going to start using 7 as my default, but haven't taken the time to send all my mainfiles over yet. my other drive is split evenly as a slave drive and a games drive. all programs/ movies/ music is on the slave partition and all my games and gaming video is on the game partition.

for the 580 i really don't run complete max settings, but have tested and get around 45 in ud even on max settings with alot of people. i will say it is a drastic step up from the 260 superclocked edition i upgraded from though.

my score on high settings on the xiv benchmark is 4598 and low is and low is 4666 with the card running at 53 degree temps.

on the keyboard i absolutely love it and will own one after another until i stop being allowed to buy them. the interchangable keyboards from a regular keyset to the game keyset is awesome. i started in console games and use a controller for games such as xiv, but for fps shooter games the huge movement keys is hard to beat for fast response. i have been fps gaming for probably the last 5 years so it fits the going back and forth perfectly. the only downside it has is the game keys takes some getting use to if you get lazy like me and don't change to the regular keyset often.

So would you say that the keyboard you are using is for more of someone using FPS? Because I play with gamepad exclusively. The main thing that I am looking for is a regular sized keyboard that has a feel of a laptop keyboard. I had owned one in the past but dont remember what it was. I am not that picky with keyboards. For me it is more of the way the keystrokes feel.

I run it on 1280x720 because of my disability i can't run it higher or else I couldn't read the text in-game.

I have run it on 1980x1280 (or whatever the max setting is) with no frame issue just can't read the chat and/or menus.
