FFXIV Only - Low Benchmark Score and Low FPS on decent settings. Puzzled.

Your graphics card is insanely awful lol my Radeon HD 5770 outperforms it by a huge margin and my card costs about 50$ now? was £100 when i got it 2years ago.

You card scores a 367 on PassMark, I think my laptop does higher than that lol

And yes your CPU also is very bad, it scores a low 2k on Passmark, where as a cheap Phenom Quad would bench a nice 6k and cost about $80 (or less XD) lol

To avoid binning ur motherboard, you should try invest in better cpu/gpu.

My brother I setup with;
- Phenom II X4 Quad Core 960T
- Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6790 1024MB

Runs the game on Max 1080p, 8x AA, everything high but with depth of field and ambient occlusion turned off at 60fps. Windowed.

Awesome advice, thanks. What do you mean binning my mobo? I was afraid the 4GB RAM limit would hurt in the near future, but even Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 don't ask for me than that. I didn't think any game did. I may need to replace the mobo altogether because it's a budget Intel G41 Family Chipset and I'm betting the CPU Socket type may be inadequate.
