I built myself a new rig yestrerday trying in vein to run FFXIV smoothly on re-release.

my old system was

Asus P5N-e Sli
intel Q6700 @2.93ghz
8gb ddr2 ram at 1333
2x xfx GTX260 Black 896mb. FFXIV Benchmark score was High: 2500 Low:3300



new build is

ROG Crosshair V Formula
AMD FX-8350 oc @4.4ghz
16gb ddr3 @ 1600mhz
Asus HD7770 2gb ddr5 FFXIV Benchmark score was High: 2500 Low: 4500


I mean my old rig was really outdated but this new one is miles better isnt it? have i done something wrong? why would they be so similar?
hope you understand that the old benchmark would only tell you if you could run FFXIV 1.0. I got 1.9 score and i could play high-med setting without DOF. With other video card i got 2.9 and i could play high setting with DOF so it show you that the benchmark and 1.0 overall sucked if you could run FFXIV med setting with your old system you could play ffxiv 2.0 at high setting without issue.
