Poke around the other DX11 games you are interested in playing and let them be the metric over this game. XIV is still using a screwy DX9 implementation that doesn't get along too well with some of the last few generations of cards (particularly AMD). It's going to call for strong CPU/memory support more so than a strong GPU until SE gets off their duff and fixes the DirectX issues. As it stands right now, this game might fair better with a slightly older graphics card and a stronger i7 CPU. I get upwards of 40FPS on a 2012 laptop FFS.
