then i ask my friends to come under the same settings to see whats his fps. one with gtx 780 and i7 3820 had 50 fps, another with i5 gen 3 and radeon 7850 had 37 fps.
at first i thought my i5 is bottlenecking my gpu, but then my friend with similar i5 had more 50% fps than me. i tried using DSR and multiply my res by 4x and still got 20ish fps.
btw my heavensward benchmark shows normal numbers, i got 10800 score which everyone with 970 get.

anyone can tell me whats wrong with my build?
i dont expect to get all flat 60fps, but i expect it should perform better than this.

edit: add screenshots



The first time i tried to get EyeFinity (Triple screen single desktop) working with XIV, i had a flat 20 FPS in Mor Donuts.
The second time i tried, i realized what i screwed up the first time.

When i changed the Resolution from 1920x1080 to 5760x1084, i didn't pay attention to the Hz after the resolution.
I went to the last option and hit that, thought i was done. Turns out, i'd accidentally set my Hz to 25.

Now, I read through the whole thread and saw no one mention this.
So have a check and see with the ingame options that you didn't set it to a much lower Hz than your screen is supposed to use.

When i redid my Eyefinity on the 5760x1084 (60hz) i now run 60 FPS in Mor Donuts, on 3 screens.
Granted, I'm using an R9 290x, So I'm not entirely sure if this is even going to be a thing for the GTX, However, it certainly can't hurt to look.
Also make sure your out of game Resolution settings aren't set to a low refresh rate.
