Post your Rig and the settings you play on

[Point_Zero]

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.

I love the Ripjaw stuff ^^

After making this thread here I realized it would probably be better in Main Forum General Discussion if anyone is interested in joining in there.

If you want to see pics of my rig, let me know.

The settings I run FFXIV are:

16x AA
Ambient Occlusion : Turned off
Texture: settings are both high
Shadows: high

Under Nvidia control panel setttings on the advanced settings:

3-way alternate frame rendering is enabled
Triple buffering
V-sync is on since it's has so much screen tearing when I moved the camera around.

I also run 2D surround by the way but not 3D since my monitors are not capable of doing that. Looking forward later on though!

(I do not advise buying the G19 it is not worth the money)

Nothing on my computer is OC. I built this machine for mostly GD and WD since in my spare time I run a business called Wild Mounkey Graphics so I need the extra Ump... All together the tower cost me about 5k. Monitors, surroundsound, cords and all that good stuff cost me about another 6k. I upgrade when new things come out. Can't fall behind the trend now can we? I do not advise buying a G19 it was 170 dollars and was not worth it but the G13 is GREAT!! Hey point I still can't get my 3d working... It just don't look as good as you said the nVidia one looks I'd hate to have to switch over!

I run at max everything Ambient on, Draw Quality 10, BG Quality 5, 8xQ MSAA, Depth of Field on, pretty much everything on but when I turn Ambient off I get like 61 FPS (In Uldah). When it is on I get from 50-57FPS in Ul'dah and 61 FPS everywhere else... Though it does drop unexpectedly sometimes maybe cause out of all the money I spent on my baby I neglected a suitable wi-fi card

Nice monstrous equipment there Gaven, hope I can get something like that someday ;_;

Point Zero how do you like your monitor? Was thinking about getting a few and setting up 3d with then.. but I haven't seen a demo and have heard mixed reviews about 3d in general. Whats your view? Do you think doing bigger 3d but using TVs like Gaven does is better or is nvidia 3d with your monitors the way to go?

LOL Point knows I'm no where near as good as him with this 3d GPX card mess I cant quite get it looking like reaaaaaal 3d. It looks ok but kinda hurts my eyes cause the glasses aren't very comfortable so i may have to buy new glasses I think Nvidia may be the way to go judging by points feedback...

To be honest I dont know much about ATI HD3D or whatever its called lol.. I only know what I have experience with in this case. I would also look into that 6990 hasnt got the best reviews and you wont be able to crossfire it, you can only crossfire from the same series if the first card was a 6970 or a 6950 that would of worked. Maybe things have changed but I dont think so

As far as getting that Accoustimass 10 for 300 bucks that had to be off the back of a truck lol cause they 1k everywhere else I have seen them lol

Also here is some info on ATI HD3D I found which you should prolly read, because the nvidia glasses wont work for you.
