Post your Rig and the settings you play on

[Point_Zero]

Hey I am doing research as to how people play this game! So I guess I want to hear what Rig you play on and the exact settings you play on, and don't lie I do not know why people tend to lie about how they play the game. I mean the settings they run it on. Lots of people say "I play this on Full man" meanwhile there is no way they possibly could. I guess I will begin. Oh please post FPS too. And FFXIV Benchmark Results. Screens are welcome. Thanks

CASE: Cooler Master HAF-X (942)
CPU: I7 2600k @ 4.8 GHZ 1.4 Vcore
MOBO: Gigabyte P67A-UD5-B2 *Stupid recall on my board lol I have to do that soon
Memory: Corsair Dominator GT 1866MHZ @ 8-8-8-24 1.64V
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 (Beastly cooler)
GPU 2x Nvidia GTX 570 SLI @849/1698/2020 One MSI on EVGA both referance
HD: Western Digital Caviar Black SATAIII 6GB/S 640GB Raid 0 soon :*(
OPTICAL: LG 22X DVD/R
PSU: Corsair 950TX
Monitor: Benq XL2410T 120hz (Soon 2 more of these)
3D: Nvidia 3D Vision Kit (BTW FFXIV in 3D is absolutley stunning you have to see)
Headset: Logitech G35 7.1 Surround Headset
Mouse: Cooler Master Inferno
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64Bit
Keyboard: A white one I found at the bottom of someone's driveway LMFAO With no F10 key

I built this PC specially for FFXIV and I love it ^^ Was my first build too
The settings I run are the following now. Everything Maxed in FFXIV Config with Ambient Oclusion off, and Depth of Field off. General Draw quality at 10, and I overide the AA using my Nvidia Control Center and set it to 64X SLI. For some reason the SLI doesnt like the depth of field and slows it down soooooooo much. This is mostly because there is no real official SLI profile for FFXIV. There is one that came with the newest beta NVIDIA drivers, however the "famous SLI fix" still works better. I imagine its the Crysis profile cut and pasted over. DOF worked fine for me with one videocard. I get 60 Frames 98% of the time outside in the field, and I get 55-60 in Ul'dah depending on random stuff. On the benchmark I got 8483 on Low resolution, and 7364 on high resolution. I wanna know what others results are too please, and their frames.


Hi Res Benchmark Results


Low Res Benchmark Results

[Falcus]

CASE: dunno, some cheap one
CPU: i5 750 at stock speed
MOBO: an Intel one, not too sure which one :s
Memory: 4 GB Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz
GPU: Pallit GTX 460 1GB
HD: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB
PSU: can't remember, i just remember that it's 850w
Monitor: LG W2361VP 23"
Mouse: cheap ASDA mouse >_>
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

and i play with everything on highest except AA and AO, which are turned off and in windowed mode at 1600*900 with 30-60 FPS most of the time. (it runs pretty much exactly the same when i play in full screen at 1080)

30 frames person is in Ul'dah I assume? And how do you like Kingston Memory?

yeah, I'm quite liking it.
and yes, for the most part i get 30 frames in uld.
i get that horrible stutter for a short while whenever i login in uld though.
and when I'm out at places like BW i usually have about 45-60 FPS

Nice yeah even on my Rig I get that stutter in uldah when I first log in or get there. I usually just stop running and let it do its thing lol.

I just upgraded to this sweet Commodore 64C. I went the extra mile and got myself a 1541-II floppy disk drive. As if that wasnt enough, I spent the extra change getting myself this kick ass 1084S monitor running an S-Video connection. I can use this thing as a TV is I want!

want to trade?

My PC's getting a bit old, but it does everything I want it to. It's a Gateway.

Specs:

OS: Windows Vista 64bit
Mobo: Don't remember
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4770 512mb
RAM: 8gb DDR2
PSU: Corsair 550w
HD: 600gb something or other (never checked)
Monitor: 22", 1680x1050
Mouse: Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (I hate the scroll wheel on this thing, but I like the button on the side)

FFXIV looks great and runs well. I tend to play in Windowed mode, size 1440x900 at the moment. No AA, standard general drawing quality, high background. Standard shadows, texture quality, and filtering. I don't remember messing with most of this stuff, so I'm not sure how my PC would handle if I upped the settings. Probably not well, but I can't complain.

I'm always meaning to just build one (since that's really the way to go), but I'll probably wait until I really want a new gaming PC or something.

I'll edit this post later with benchmark results when I get around to it.

Here's my PC specs, just enough to make FFXIV run below average.

Case: Some cheap "Sentey" one
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x3 @ 3.0 GHZ (OC)
Mobo: MSI 890GXM-G65 (MS-7642)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL7D 1333 Mhz @ 1.5v
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4650 (RV730)
Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium (Pci-E)
HD: WDC WD3200AAJS-22L7A0 ATA Device (298 GB, IDE)
OPTICAL: Some LG DVD-R/RW
PSU: Some 600w one
Monitor: LG W2043 (Analog) [20" LCD]
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

The game runs fine at mid-low graphics, but I definitively need to get a better GPU :/
The rest is just OK.
