So, my PC recently bit the dust, I left my window open and it rained while I was away and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP~! I was only able to salvage the ram and video card. I was running an AMD Phenom 9850, black edition if I"m not mistaken, with 4gigs DDR2 ram and an NVIDIA GTX460 1gig GDDR5.

So, because this happened, I had to bust out my old computer that I built in '05. It has an ASUS M2N-E mobo with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual core @ 2.2GHz. FFXIV runs better on this machine than the one that was just fried.... Someone please explain that to me. I had two Phenom machine's since I stated playing, I had to upgrade my old Phenom to the 9850 just to get the game working properly... I'm confused, but at the same time extremely happy. It scored 1553 on the benchmark at 1920x1080, a little less than my other machine, but the game runs faster now and smoother. wtf.

Hum.. what are the complete specs for both machines? o.o

I admit, though, it's kind of odd sounding already.. I suppose you turned off Ambient Occlusion? I mean, it may seem a real long-shot but if you had it on before.. that setting really, really chews on your performance. Even my GTX 480 stutters when it's on (but I don't want to turn it off, everything looks so flat without it x.x)

I never had ambient occlusion on, I tried it early on and it just laged.

Hum.. in that case I really have no clue. That really was the only idea I could think of x.x
