Post your Rig and the settings you play on guys`

[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. I get the same results even when im on 3D mode which is weird I think. I was under the imfulence the vid card takes a bigger hit because it has to display to different frames. 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.

Nice setup, did you try to get the 2600K to 5GHz though?
My current system is a GTS250(810/2052/1250) with an e8400@4.2GHz, and 2G of PC2-9600, with a wd raptor 150. Its running XP-32. In crowded areas I drop down to 24fps, even when running with middle-quality settings and 1024x768

I'm thinking of upgrading my system with a setup similar to yours, so could you reply with some info:
When you enabled SLI, did you notice any additional increase in input latency, or micro-stuttering? Have vsync/triple-buffering enabled? What do you have your "Maximum pre-rendered frames" set to? Do you notice any (even tiny amount of) stuttering when characters models are being loaded from the HDD?

HEY EVERYBODY!! LOOK AT MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!

Dude... that is one hell of a rig man. Anyways I got an i5 750 @ 3.0 ghz, a ati HD 5770, 4gb of ram, p55 mobo, 1 tb hdd, and a 650w psu. I think I'm going to upgrade next Cyber Monday, probably to a 6950, i5 2500k or i7 2600k, 8gb of ram, a new UEFI mobo, which then I'll probably need to get a 750w psu or so.

i have a
ATI Radeon HD 5800
8 GB DDR-3 Ultra
Intel i7 8 core CPU
Intel X25-M SATA SOlid-STate Drive
Gigabyte P55A-UD3P mainboard

We have the same score in the benchmark and i payed a lot less for my machine (all together with a new nice case, extra cooler, 22 inch Samsung screen for about 1400 USD)
FFXIV runs awesome with all settings maxed.

I use this PC for gaming only... my workstation cost a lot more than that, the cost of the grahic card alone would be enough to pay a couple new rigs.
