Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

To get a better understanding of the issue, I'd like to ask a few questions:

1) What Graphics Card are you using?
2) What is the resolution, graphical setting, and frame rate you are getting (both pre and post patch)?
3) Some of you have reported major dips in frame rate, does your GPU utilization reach 100% at this time?
4) Does this happen constantly or is it restricted to only a few areas?
5) Is this accompanied by any graphical glitches?
6) Please list everything you have tried to alleviate the issue

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
