I can get a good 60fps with pretty much all settings max but I get insane stuttering especially with stuff like depth of field on. My fps doesn't change at all and system runs really well aside from what appears to be video lag in this game. I'm FINALLY picking up a SSD today, currently have a average 7200 hdd.

Throughout my FF career I've replaced and tried all parts on multiple computers as well as my own and they all run choppy with above average fps. Friends have experienced this problem as well which is not fps related (If it was it could easily be cpu or gpu related) ... anyways just saying I'm finally fed up and want a ssd for this game and a couple other future mmo's coming out :P So I'll update once I have it all installed tonight, hopefully fixes this long withstanding issue. For me and my friends it also happens in fields as well not just uldah. The only constant is we all have average hdd's at best... so I'm crossing my fingers this will be the solution I've been waiting for xD
