6950 Performance

[Chrees]

For anyone with an ATI/AMD card, I would also give this a try. I've still got a 5770 myself, which I'm planning to upgrade around the end of summer, and this boosted my FPS by about 10-15 or so:

Just as a point of interest for anyone using an AMD/ATI graphics card.

I recently picked up the latest drivers for my card (In the AMD Radeon HD6900 series running on Windows 7 64-bit), along with the 'patch' released to help out with Brink and various other issues. Since installing these, along with fixing Brink (the program I originally installed it for) Final Fantasy XIV also runs a lot faster and quieter, not entirely sure about heat however.

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...15ahotfix.aspx is the hotfix page.

At the very least, it may help out some of you for the moment. Along with that, I have found the game has been running better after certain patches and such, though that may just be placebo.

EDIT: Just realized that the hotfix was originally for 11.5. Not sure whether or not it was included in 11.6 as well. My bad! I'll do some more research and get back to you!

EDIT 2: Seems like the fixes were included in the 11.6 release as well. So if you have the latest drivers, you should be good to go. Carry on!
