graphics card/processor help!

I'd find it super hard to believe that the i7 2600k is a bottleneck of ANY sort, being that I have an i7 950 and have maxed everything, including DoF and AO, with dual gtx580's, and ran 60fps solid. Check your cpu usage while playing, guarantee it's not 100%, unless you're doing something horribly wrong. I even have physics set to CPU and have never seen the game go over 20% cpu usage regardless of the situation.

The game taxes one of the cores yet overall cpu load is 20% nothing you can do about that the engine sucks and cant pass the load to other cores so you get a bottleneck. And i really doubt you have 60FPS solid with everything maxed in uldah for example or a 40ppl raid in natalan.

Look at each core usage graph not at the overall load also you can see which thread taxing that core in this case it was ff14 related.

I have a Phenom II with 6 cores @4.0Ghz, 2x HD5870 and set the fps limit to 30 anyway since this laggy piece of failcodegame doesn't need 60fps at all. Do your hardware a favor, set it to 30fps and don't set general drawing higher than 8 (instead use SSAA or MLAA if you really want a smooth image).
