    5-7 FPS, help diagnose my specs that are causing this please!

    Im relatively computer illiterate, so I need to know what to upgrade to make this run smoother. Copy Pasting from System Specs:

    OS: Windows 8 64x bit
    Processor: AMD FX-6120 Six-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
    Installed Memory (RAM): 10 GB (9.79 usable)
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7450
    Disk Space: 910 GB

    It lags badly and can't figure out why. Graphics card needs an update maybe? IF so, which would be a good, relatively cheap (80-100$) upgrade?

    the HD7450 is a pretty weak card.

    I'd look into upgrading to a:
    HD 7750 (about $100 on sale)
    or
    HD 7850 (about $150 on sale, one of the best bang for the buck options)

    Either of those cards should give you a 8-10x boost in benchmark scores.

    Cheers,

    1023? That's actually quite low. Did you use the FFXIV Official Benchmark?

    Yes, it ran the into video and everything. Bought a Geforce 660 GTX, hopefully should improve performance substantially
