Hey Guys, I need some technical help!

You might want to check the Nvidia control pannel. It overrides any settings you make for the game and that might be pulling more than you can handle. With 24g of ram and that 300 serie (which is after the 9000 one) your machine shoudn't have a problem running this.

Ok I was going to say this card may not play it but after reviewing the stats and comparing them to my stats (GPU only) you should at LEAST be able to play this game on medium settings. I'm using a GT 9600 which is lower then your card and I have no problems running the game on 1920x1080 in the FFXIV Config with no AA, 8 General drawing, 3 background, lowest Shadow, DoF on, Ambient OFF, Texture qual and filtering High. Sometimes in Ul'Dah it can get a little slow on rendering the NPCs or PCs but otherwise, I have no issues.

Edit: Added this for reference

Just because the GT 320 is a "newer" card, does not automatically make it faster.
In fact, it is slower than your old GT 9600.

Oh yeah I missed the fact he has a 1GB Standard clock but his interface bandwidth is... Blech @ 128. Welp Deathray, looks like Loth called me on it...you may wanna invest in another card. Check newegg they have a bunch of the 400 series and the newer 500 series cards on sale including ones more then willing to render epic 14 gfx for ya!

Thanks for the misses Loth.
