I knew I should leave this thread alone. But I can't help it.


I reformated my SSD. reinstalled windows 7. OCed my i7 920 to 4.0 Ghz, OCed my GTX 295 by 20% (soooooo risky, almost fried the card, and smell the metal burning). And reinstalled FF bloody 14 and tried again.

You know what. Same result. This bloody game runs at 30 FPS period, at least for GTX 295. It lacks the support. My system is not slow. All the benchmark testing I've done, they show up fine. My single OCed GTX 295 is as fast as GTX 460 SLI in those benchmark testings. FF14 only utilizes 1 GPU (GPU2) to 99% when running, GPU1 is sitting at 3%. When I force SLI through nvidia profiler, it puts both GPU at 50% usage all the time. So my card would never operate at full capacity. Funny, even the FF14's own benchmark, utilize both of my GPUs fine. I got a score of 4100 for the FF14 benchmark, which is high enough already according to their standards. Only the real game doesn't have the support. This is just bad code.

I don't think the game has follow or assist macro. The input lag is , welll, crazy. It also crashes when you alt-tab if you are in full screen mode.

boxing though, I wouldn't say it is impossible. With multiple PCs, it is certainly possible to run a couple characters grinding mobs and stuff. But it is certainly not enjoyable. there is no PVP. I wouldn't spend a couple K on multiple PCs just to do grind some bloody rats/chicken/mules and what not.

I am truly done with this game now. 4.0.1 here I come.
