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

[Zorlin]

My 2nd rig which i mainly use for internet:
E5800 3.2Ghz
2Gb DDR3 1333Mhz
ATI 5570
2100~ Benchmark on Low.

My settings:
1920x1080/General Draw Quality 6/AA off/AO Off Everything else on high.
30FPS+ anywhere excluding uldah(totaly playable)
-------------------------------------
Same rig with a 5750:
Benchmark 2800~ on Low.

Totaly playable settings(30FPS+):
1920x1080/General Draw Quality 8/AA 8/AO Off Everything else on high.

Basicly a better cpu will boost yr fps in city and crowded areas but its not needed since investing in a cpu for an old socket aint smart unless you can get one real cheap. i recomend you get a better video card nothing too expensive but something that is on pair with that cpu a 5750/6750 is fine anything else is overkill for the rest of the setup. You can even consider a 6670.

My main rig is an i7 2600k/12GB DDR3 1600Mhz/2x 6950 in Crossfire that benchmarks over 7000. And honestly i dont notice a huge dif besides the 60FPS its able to achieve the game looks basicly the same with everything on. I consider my dual core setup totaly capable of running the game at an enjoyable level.

And for ones that think ppl dont use dualcores with ff14 your totaly wrong lotta ppl i know use dualcores some even play on laptop dualcores with really weak cards. For example my brother plays on a P6000 1.86Ghz/ATI 5470(400$ laptop) scores 700 on benchmark he been playing on that since release.
