    I've run FFXIV on a 555m on standard settings just fine. Just turn shadows off. My impression was that the 540m wasn't significantly weaker than the 555m. I have heard the gap between a 555m and 560m is greater than the former two.

    Of course, I run on a 570m but that's not within the budget.

    I'm impressed with the lenovo pick though. I'd probably choose that one over the NP5160 given the choice, myself.

    FFXIV is a strange creature though, it doesn't handle specs like other games do because the engine itself is so fubar'd.

    I've seen FFXIV running "playable" on a M11X R1 , at native resolution. I was as shocked as anyone could expect me to be. That's on a 335m if I recall.
