Thanks for all the responses guys (even the ones about the cpu speeds and whether or not the game optimizes more than one cpu core was very interesting to read)

I would have to say that from what I'm gathering, my cpu is definitely bottle-necking the performance of my new Graphics Card.

Also, I only have one HD and FFXIV is installed on the same partition as Windows 7.

Should I definitely consider upgrading my mobo, cpu, ram, and getting a separate Hard Drive for games so everything loads faster?

"Put your computer in DMZ state? What is that?

And please don't get me started on Revanent's Toll. I get maybe 15-20FPS at best there. Also, people load very late while I'm just standing at the Atheryte

Thanks again!
