How good is your rig

[burnt7oast]

Hey all this is my first post on this forum and thought I would try to make it a good one. So as the title says how good is your rig that you use for FFXIV.

The reason I ask this is because I use to play on my PS4 until my dog done a KO on her (it got knocked of the table and now it just overheats and shuts down). Anyway I thought I would try my hands at building a pc since I can play some games on it and do work on it as well. I can get a solid 60fps on it with desktop standard settings and 35-50fps on desktop high settings.

My pc specs are
Intel g3258 at 3.2ghz
4gb of coursair vengeance ram soon to be 8gb its on its way.
Gigabyte wind force gtx 750ti 2gb

I built this on a tight budget so I know it isn't great lol I've only just got the game installed today and played it for 10 mins before I had to go to work

My computer isn't very good either but this is pretty much the only game I play on it so as long as I can semi reliably play it on high settings i'm fine

Intel I5 2500k 3.3ghz

AMD Radeon HD 7950

8GB RAM

That's my build. The game runs about 40-60 FPS depending on where I am, with high settings.

I'm a big Sony fan and would probably still be playing the game on my PS4 if it didn't break but I thought I would try to build a pc for the same cost as a console. I ended up going over my budget by a bit. I'm happy to play it on standard settings to get that 60fps. When I get time I'm sure I could get away with increasing the setting a bit and not dropping to many frames. It's gonna take me ages to get used to Keyboard and mouse

You can use your PS4 controller to play on PC (that's what I'm doing) IMHO it's the best setting, you can use X-hotbar with "PC" horizontal and Vertical bar as helper for cooldown visualisation (when they are in another Xhotbare than the active one) and other rarely used stuff (like invoking your chocobo to fight or some food) that you'll clic with the mouse.

There's some driver (DS4 Windows I think) that let you use the touch pad to add up to 7 shortcut (up,down,left,right swipe and up,left,right clic) you can even use the motion detection too !

Thanks... I did a lot of shopping around because my budget was really tight (and I still went over... -_-)

My computer is outdated, and I cannot upgrade it, so I have no other choice but to buy a new computer: new case, new hard disks, new CD-DVD reader/writer, new graphic card, new RAM, new motherboard, new processor. It really depresses me because it's epic to me, and quite expensive in Canada where the costs are much higher.

new CD-DVD reader/writer

Huh? People still use those?

Game runs most of the time at 60fps unless im in a zone with lots of "calm water" (hinterlands big lake for example) which generates tons of reflections and that kills CPU, also on hub places cause too many character models. Instances and such they all run silky smooth, if i disable vsync, it goes as high as 90fps in some instances.
