    Turn off the following. I won't tell you how, because every computer is different.

    Ambient Occlusion
    Anti-aliasing
    Vertical Sync
    Shadows

    And if you know how to enable triple buffering on your graphics card, do that too.

    I'd also recommend, if you're playing on a 1080p monitor, turn your resolution down to 720p.

    And finally, this goes without saying, but make sure your graphics card is using its latest drivers.

    So....do you actually want anyone to help you get the game running for you? Or did you just want to complain?

    If you're answer is the former then you should start by telling us your computer's stats.

    Sounds like you got ripped off, or did no research.

    Either way, oops?

    Tell us your PCs specs pls so we can help you, I have a laptop with a 512MB graphics card, and an i5 2.5Ghz turbo boost 2.9Ghz and can run the game on medium settings, oh and if you turn off desktop composition in windows it disables all aero features while the game is running and takes quite alot of load off the graphics card that can be used for the game reducing lag and allowing you to turn settings up quite alot

    Oo thanks for that I didn't know about that option to disable Aero. I'm a laptop player too, though I have a 1gb video card and an i5, I run the game on medium or else it takes ages to load. I've found windowed mode runs more smoothly for me on 720 settings, rather than the laptop's full 1080 screen.

    Plus, without knowing what this person has bought, just because a computer has been bought in the last month doesn't mean it's some water-cooled behemoth.

    Np before I did that I had to run on low settings, now I can run on medium with just the usual town stutter when I first log in aero does use alot of graphics resources for a windows theme setting, but you will get your nice aero back after you log out if you do it with desktop composition

    I recently played with rift, and i think rift have beautifully crafted graphics. if i turn the settings low, like the background view distance, the background turns misty. this doesnt really imo affect the standard of the graphics too much. but when I have the lowest settings on ff14, the game looks like im playing doom. and still its unplayable.

    seriously my shitty old pc could run it fairly on the lowest settings and that thing was about 5 years old the graphics card was even under the minimum requirement.
