Any way i can make FFXIV run smoother?

Forgot to mention general drawing quality and background drawing quality... but this effects visuals in a big way, so only resort to it if you are desperate. (I can get the game to run on my laptop which is pretty outdated... but it looks like a kid ate some crayons and threw up on my screen.)

also texture quality and texture filtering are pretty standard ways to improve performance though again it will effect your visuals too.

All of these options are found in the config program, seperate from ffxiv itself, if you are having trouble finding them. (I am sure you already know that, but I don't want to assume and then leave you lost while trying to look for these things.)

Oh one more question. does the video size actually effect how smoothly it runs. cause i have my game in a window instead of full screen and it seems like the only thing that changes is the window size. my monitor can only go up to 1440 by 900 so if i put it up to that is it still gunna run the same but it's just gunna take up the whole screen?

Set it in the ffxiv config program to be windowed or full screen. Even though I have a 24" 1920x1080, I only play at 1600x900. Since we have no alt+tab atm ><; Your going to have to play with the settings, and bear through the multiple log on, and off's till you have the best setting for your system ><;

Also for catalyst I use "Use application settings" for everything.
