FFXIV Only - Low Benchmark Score and Low FPS on decent settings. Puzzled.

[Bulwarkz]

My guess is you bought a Cyberpower/Ibuypower PC and wherent well enough informed on exactly what you where getting; they sell u PCs that look good in writing but in truth u can build a PC much cheaper and better yourself always.
and the dual core processor has nothing to do w/ it this game only uses one and its more than enough.

Nah I explained how my build came to be earlier in the thread. Earlier everyone was saying a Quad Core was pivotal for FFXIV's architecture.

You also need a higher powered PC power supply most likely one that has a seperate 6 prong connection solely for graphics cards.

I was reading up on 400W's working fine for a 6850 since my build is pretty bare bones ( not much power is being consumed ) and the 6850 uses way less than that under full load. I may grab a $30 500W just to be safe though, no big deal.
