ATI Card compatibility issues!

Bring back to front of forums and SE's attention as the problem still persists. Absolutely no response from in game support.

not really something the game developers can fix anyway.

SE does not manufacturer ATI video cards, nor do they develop the drivers for them.

It's silly that this post forum post exists and that you guys assume it's something SE can rectify. Like really, wtf?

*also some of the issues a few of you are describing almost sound like an issue regarding your power supply. It sounds almost as if you guys do not have the required amperage on your 12v rails to support the card's power requirements.

This in itself can cause havoc on your system overall and can cause the very issues you all are describing. Including but not limited to frying your PSU, motherboard or card itself.

You can purchase a video card that requires a 550w PSU, and have a 550w PSU and think that you meet the power requirements. (There are many PSU's on the market and not all of them are made the same. PSU's can have different amperage on their 12v rails which are extremely important to know prior to installing a new card. )

However, your 550w PSU may only have a single rail with 38A, when your card requires 42A. This can cause stability issues and blue screens if your GPU utilization gets high enough....IE, a place like Mor Dhona.

FFXIV is the only issue that I have had in regards to this rig, and its an Alienware so Im assuming that it was built to handle the equipment in it. Everything is fine save for Mor Dhona as well as some S ranks if i port in during the mad rush. Im not burning houses and stuff just seems to be a common thread among ATI users that it could be an issue. If so would like a response from SE regarding this. I have also sent requests for it to be looked into with AMD as well.

Once again if its not SE's issue they could easily have a dev or someone say, "hey not us"

I am finding FFXIV has the most issues out of any game I play with interacting with Video drivers. Even more so then other SE games. Things seem to break from patch to patch with no changes on my side. Personally I think the blame falls on a mix of the Video card manufactures and SE. IF it was 100% ATI then a patch would not break as many things as I've seen break (Crossfire, etc.) I think a lot of the issues are due to the fact this is a DX9 game. I hope that the DX11 update with 3.0 addresses some of them. Sadly it appears this game runs better on older video hardware.
