FFXIV video settings TIPS!

[Rydin]

I was gonna get the 6990, but got 2 5970 2GB video cards running in crossfire. I was reviewing the specs and one 5970 2GB cards blows the 6990 out of the water when it comes to texturing and AA. but I run the game at 1920x 1080 with all settings on max, get constant 60 FPS through FRAPS. I can't get it any higher than 60 FPS, I think FFXIV will not allow above 60. I only have high system specs because I do game design, and it helps when modeling in Maya for quicker rendering.

Yea, there is an in game cap at 60fps....
2 x 5970's is insane....
4 GPU's is ri-dunk-ulous
Happy happy joy joy

I am also hitting it with:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @4.2GHZ
MEMORY: 16GB 1600MHZ
VIDEO: 2 ATI HD5970's in Crossfire, 1 nVidia GT250 on side for PhysX
HDD: 1 SSD 128 GB Sata 6Gb, 1 TB HDD for backup
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64

as i posted earlier so it runs smooth, until my water cooling decides to pop out on me lol

I've got a PII 965be at 3.8 on air
and only 8GB or 1600MHz

I DID, however, just pick up a 990FX AM3+ gigabyte MOBO though...
I was gonna upgrade to an X6, but I'm thinking I can easily hold off until Bulldozer in Q4
I've been staying with the 5870 because the 6970 is better, but I'd say not enough to notice, especially not with a single 1920x1080 monitor.... I'd definitely pick up a 5970 if I found one at a good price though...
Its still one of the top dogs out there... which is crazy seeing how long it's been out....
I guess technology stopped moving forward as fast as it was 5 or 10 years ago
