thats interesting, though it sounds like your issue is different then mine. mine isnt a lag spike, it doesnt run good and then random lag. it just 100% lag. if i move from one icon to another it starts moving instantly but it moves between them slow. everything is just horribly slow, but when i turn down my settings it runs at a faster pace. but these were the settings i was using before. i refuse to use the settings as a standard laptop when i specifically bought i good gaming laptop so i can play this game on it.

if anyone has any info on why this might be happening please let me know.
i have a razer blade pro gaming laptop
GPU: GeForce GTX 765M
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHZ
RAM: 8GBs
windows 8.1 64 bit operating system



the only things i can think of is that i recently updated a display driver and i updated from windows 8 to windows 8.1
but i hear people are playing ffxiv on this version.
