So I'm sure many of you out there have some pretty amazing graphics cards and would love to be able to play on highest settings. Unfortunately it appears that brings the fps down below 30 making the game somewhat unenjoyable.

So far the main problem i've discovered is that there is 1 setting in particular causing all my problems:

FFXIV Config - General Settings - Video Settings - General Drawing Quality

I've found that everything else can stay on high without a problem, however this one setting single handedly affects my FPS massively.
With EVERY other setting on high, a General drawing quality of 10 will give me ~24 fps.
Change it down to 9 and i'm looking at about ~45-50. Change it to 8 and i've got 60 fps cap.

If anyone else can shed anything they might want to add that'd be great, otherwise I hope this helps some of you who had the same problems with graphics as I have.

I'm running a 6970m graphics card for those wondering.
