[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[InuraBera]

Just as a point of interest for anyone using an AMD/ATI graphics card.

I recently picked up the latest drivers for my card (In the AMD Radeon HD6900 series running on Windows 7 64-bit), along with the 'patch' released to help out with Brink and various other issues. Since installing these, along with fixing Brink (the program I originally installed it for) Final Fantasy XIV also runs a lot faster and quieter, not entirely sure about heat however.

http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloa...win7-64.aspx#1 is the driver page
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...15ahotfix.aspx is the hotfix page.

At the very least, it may help out some of you for the moment. Along with that, I have found the game has been running better after certain patches and such, though that may just be placebo.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try myself.

Wow, thanks for this! Just installed it, and I've got everything maxed out (aside from General Drawing being at 8 and DoF and AO being off) and I'm getting about 40-45 FPS at Broken Water...while it's raining! Which is about what I was getting before with most everything on Standard and AA off.

I might still turn some settings down because I do notice some camera lag which bothers me, but it's still much better than before! Thank you!
