FXAA is to resource intensive.

[Valmonte]

as the titles states its rather intensive for something that's supposed to be light on resources. with it off i get a constant 60FPS in dungeons and low pop area's. with it on I'm constantly dipping back and forth between 60 and the low twenty's with something as simple as panning the camera.

Are there any planes to enable MSAA in the future? if any one has been able to force MSAA.Id like to know with what program(s) as Nvidia's Control Applet doesn't seem work.

Specification:
GTX760 4GB
AMD Phenom 2 975@4GHz
8GB Ram.

I have a AMD FX 8120, 16 gigs of ram and a gtx 760 2 gig and i have no problems at all...maybe your power supply isnt up to par for the vid card.

may not be the problem for you but check the Vsync is forced to off in the nvidia control panel for this game

Not SE, however FF14 appears to be a deferred rendering engine based game and is DirectX9? (I could be wrong) which dosn't support MSAA. You could attempt to enable Supersampling in the Nvidia control panel but I don't think that will work and it would most likely perform worse then with FXAA.

Another option (and this one is risky) is to use SweetFX and inject SMAA (Not quite as good as FXAA but will clean up the edges nicely). http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/enhanc...-visuals.1385/

To note though that injection will most likely trigger any anti-cheat system (if they have one) they have implemented as it forcefully overrides some basic functions.

What I would recommend though if you are just pushing the bounds is disabling SSAO (this will be hardly noticeable after a bit and is extremely costly however on my machine yielded a 30fps increase while off and using low yielded a 25fps increase) and disabling Limb Darkening (Although disabling it on my machine yielded little to no perf. change). Also make sure that you have Occlusion Culling and LOD + LOD Streaming enabled as these will provide large FPS increases on GPU restricted machines.

If possible profile your machine with GPU-Z (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/) and post the results and we can see where your machine is struggling at.

Edit: To note I am using a GTX680 and average about 105 fps with everything on and I tested while sitting in the character inn-room at the table with camera facing the window.

Physics (All On)
Limb Darkening (Off) *Personal preference
Radial Blur (On) *Appears to affect explosions and nothing else?
SSAO (Weak) *Honestly weak looks better then Strong
Glare (Normal) *Didn't notice a difference between Normal and Low but I worry it might affect spells
Depth of Field (Enabled) *Haven't noticed it in Cinematics

Gross, dude, you just got your computer jizz all over me. 16 gigs of RAM? You running flight sims for NASA?
