Performance issue \\ AMD Athlon II X4 640 \\ ATI 6950 2GB DDR5 \\ 6GB DDR3 \\

[Illusion]

Hi All,

I have a few screens to show exactly what is wrong, but first my system setup.
By the looks of it my PROC is a huge bottleneck in FFXIV (However the system monitor tool does not reflect this).
I can't seem to get decent performance even on lowest settings, 30< FPS in Town.
Other then that it takes no less then 20 seconds for NPC's to pop up with Low and High settings.

I really don't know what is causing this bad performance, anyone tip's are more then welcome?
Please let me know if more information is required.

So far I have tried (Without major improvements):

• Custom Drivers
• FFXIVPriorityBooster
• InjectSMAA_by_mrhaandi_1.2.

In Game FPS Capped on 60
