That is weird. EQ2 is definitely CPU bound on anything in the 200 series, and the general rule of thumb is that it needs the highest possible clocks because it brute-forces a lot of the rendering. I didn't get the performance I have in it now until I moved to my i7 -- but it's at 2.8, not 3.0. Curious.
I also need to retract my statement that FFXIV is running terribly on my system.
While it definitely could use some optimization and needs to offload more to the GPU (as well as needing to cache more data by using more RAM), once I undid something stupid I set globally in the nVidia Control Panel for another game (HL2), performance improved significantly. I also needed to turn down the texture quality to Standard to get VSync to run well, but I personally don't see much difference between Standard and High with FSAA turned on. The only times I start going into slideshow mode now are on the lifts and in areas where there's a lot of people around -- and even then, performance improves the longer I stay in the area. The interface lag is definitely directly related to this, which tells me that the issue may very well be related to the netcode or texture loading. Both of those can be fixed, and really, things aren't so bad when you get away from the crowds. I would even go so far to say that the game is actually pretty snappy when you're by yourself.
