Thread: 1.18 is great but we still need better optimization of the game.

Playing on 450Gts and let me tell you i can play on pretty much high setting i even try depth of field and amient occlusion not at the same time but you do get a 25-30fps in the city and 40fps outside not too my liking so i dont have any of them on.

i just try a new setting and pretty much am getting this

Window size 1440x900
multsampling 16xq CSAA
genereal drawing quality = 8
Background drawing =5
Shadow=high
texture quality=high
Texture filtering=highest

I even have everything on within game shadows and the other setting and i don't see any type of lag just the lag the same lag i would get if i had everything on standard.

So ya ffxiv need to be better optimization even if you play on the lowest setting you have lag within city which is a joke to me.

I play in 1920x1080 with 4x AA and there isn't Aliasing

I have a gtx 590 then I don't need to reduce settings..but...you are fien with 8x AA (or 4x too) and you can enjoy a better framerate

Oh thank you new too nvidia so i don't know jack about anything i had a ATI for a long time that what i know best.

Also what would be the best setting to put your nvidia card at?

Like in the control panel for the nvidia card? texture filtering and so on am so lost with nvidia i only been playing around with it for 2days seeing how i got my card few days ago.

After this

1920x1080P (windowed)
4XMSAA
General Drawing 8-9
background drawing 5
Shadow Highest
Ambient Occlusion
Depht of field
Texture quality: High
Texture Filtering: Highest

You can probably use MSAA 4x 8x
Your resolution
General Drawing 8
Background 5
Shadow: High
NO ambient occlusion
Depht of field (try)
Textures quality:High
Textures filtering: High/Highest




"

I can play with the Depht of field but i can't really see any diff to be the true o.o

on my ATI card i could notice it but not on my 450gts for some reason i guess am not seeing it atm i try it later lol
