    2.0 Graphics Engine Questions?

    As we get closer to "Final Fantasy XIV 2.0", I'm buying computer parts to get a better experience with the new graphics engine. But there are a few things I'm curious about the new engine...

    1) Will we be able to play the game with "Triple Monitor Display"? (I think 'Evefinity' run's it now?)
    2) Can we play the game in 3D?
    3) Can the new engine allow a display of Over 60fps?

    These are just ideas I was wondering about the new engine. I can live without these things.

    I have a question as well: Does it have VSync? The screen tearing in this game drives me insane. >.<

    Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave

    3d is pretty darn good ATM, A new game engine wouldnt change anything I believe. As long as you have a monitor that canrefresh at 120 hertz you should be set. On nvidia forums people say all the developers have to do to optimize 3d output is adjust where the cursor tracks. 3d vision software does the rest

    Dear God yes! Even the title screen tears and I notice it every time!

    As for OP's questions:

    1) Doubtful
    2) Doubtful it will be built into the engine but: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-main.html
    3) Probably but the human eye can barely discern anything higher than 60 so why would it matter?

    if your having tearing issues get a program from rivatuner called D3DOverrider and force Global Vsync, it solved all my tearing issues and forcing triple buffering has improved my FPS.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've never seen tearing in this game. It's not like I don't notice tearing either, it's one of the first things I notice when playing just about any game, be it on PC or console. Maybe vsync was just always on for me.

    Still leads to lower input lag, and it also means that getting "big" fps drops only means going from 120fps to like 60-90 fps, instead of from 60 to 30-45 fps, and that would definitely be noticable.

    Been playing WoW and BF3 on 120FPS, and it's noticeable to me when I play it on other monitors that display 60FPS. My concerns are the same as OP. Will the FPS be unlocked from the current 60?

    All I care about is it having in game graphics options (not some external exe) and allow players to alt tab without crashing.

    I think both are being added in 2.0
