Graphics Card Trouble, Need Insight!

[PEANUT]

I am a little bummed out. I was previously playing FFXIV 1.0 and ARR Beta's on a AMD Radeon HD 5770. At max I was getting about 27-30fps in crowded areas and around 40fps in non crowded areas(instanced).

I looked at a few benchmarks on different sites comparing my old 5770 to the newer 7850 that I wanted to buy and the 7850 did twice and a little over twice the performance of the 5770. I bought the card(along with a new PSU 600watt), installed it and ran the benchmark and even got twice the score on max settings than I got using the 5770.

Playing the game officially now on the new 7850 card, it is running super quiet(my other one roared like a lion lol) and I get around 60fps in instanced areas which is good but in crowded areas, I seem to be getting 27-30fps again I updated my drivers to most recent and I am now wondering if my card is not using it's full potential or if there is something I am missing?

If anyone could please give me some insight or advice on what I can do to increase playability performance I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!
