FFXIV and HD 6990

[Onidemon]

anyone playing FFXIV with an ATI 6990? I'm about to purchase one and would like to know how well this card performs with FFXIV. If anyone is using it, can you tell me if you can max out all the graphic settings, including AO and DF and what kind of FPS are you getting?

EDIT:

I didn't want to wait till June so i went and purchased my 6990. A Sapphire 6990.... I put all the settings on MAX including AO and DOF..... the results?

11FPS at 1680X1050..... either my card is defective or this game is even more poorly designed then i thought....

I do have way lower FPS ~10fps in buletstorm also when using eyefinity... which seems to indicate something is wrong with the card but other games play fine so i dunno....

EDIT #2:

I tried setting AA in Catalyst to override FFXIV's settings. When booting the game my PC would shutdown completely and would not turn back on until i turn off the PSU switch and then back on. No other game or application does this. I even tried running Furmark for 1h to test stability and everything worked fine.

I reset catalyst gaming settings to default and now FFXIV works ok. One thing i noticed is that my video card will make a weird noise while playing FFXIV. I had the same noise happen with my previous card ASUS 5870 and i thought there was something wrong with the card itself but now this brand new Sapphire 6990 does the same weird noise. No other game i tried has the same effect.

Edit #3

I update my drivers to 11.5 last night. Launched FFXIV and saw about a 5FPS increase. my settings are below

General Quality - high
Backround Quality -standard
Shadows ( Highest )
Texture Quality ( High )
Filtering ( High )
Super-Sample
AA - 8X
DOF - ON
AO- Off

Running on 5264X1050 resolution

i get around 40FPS using a 6990 at 880MHZ core, Phenom 1090T X6 @ 4.0GHZ and 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ 7-8-7-20
