Hello All,

I recently started playing FFXIV, very fun game but very very laggy and slow and the zone load times are gawd awful example: Game loading: 1min 12 sec
zone to zone: 32sec to 58sec

my current fps float 8~13 and I have everything set low.

I went out and picked one up 60gigs 6gbps SSD nothing fancy literally got just for this game.

I formarted ( quick ) and uninstalled the game, then reinstalled onto this SSD and dealt with the hour long update... hurray. load times are still 32~58sec

I have a Radeon 6450 2gb graphics card. And I hate to say this but..... I get better fps by taking this out of my system and using the onboard chipset.

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.
System Model CM6630_CM6730_CM6830.

Thanks for reading and posting!
