Amazing system, FFXIV taking FPS hit. Why?

It's MSAA in the config but can be manually set in the amd control center. Though it seems that change doesn't always get applied.
And afaik the HD6970 is a single chip gpu. The 2GB on the website is just extra memory(For $100 extra you won't get another gpu).

edit:
Gawd for that money I could get a tri-sli system ò.Ó

Oooooh Ok, well I guess I will have to install the drivers first for that. Any idea if I need both or if they are really the same, or if one is necessary over the other? I think currently (via game settings) I max MSAA at 8x.

Gotcha (like I said I'm not very well-versed in GPUs lol)

What's a Tri-Sli system? Haha

(On a side note, I need iMac because it's versatile, my line of work demands Mac OS, but I'm a gamer too! I also require the portability the iMac provides, it's a big box, but easier to pack up and take places than a desktop PC case plus a monitor)

nVidia GPU + nVidia GPU + nVidia GPU linked together = 3x SLI. Pretty much overkill but you get to brag.

There is a picture of what one looks like with 3x 580's.
