However, Yoshi-P (the game's producer) has said in interviews that while the official stance on third party tools will always be 'no', Square Enix both cannot and do not want to see what is installed on your PC. AMD or Nvidia, if you have an erratic framerate that isn't due to video lag, force triple buffering.Using third party tools for FFXIV is against the Square Enix User Agreement, and should be done at your own risk as it could result in an account ban. Thought I would add some info to our plight.

Just FTR - a 4770k at 4700 core / 4700 uncore shouldn't be hitting 100% in anything (bar stress tests ofc)Įagerly awaiting the dx11 client (which is supposed to be better with SLI) and the next round of drivers (which note an issue with ffxiv SLI performance and other various bugs) to drop. (The last variable I'll be testing today) My guess is a problem with the games coding in regard to handling those effects, a problem with dx9, or a problem with nvidias drivers within windows 8 forcing the usage of the CPU for physics effects when on auto. I also have a problem with CPU load going from ~40% on 2-3 cores during gameplay to 100% on one core with nothing on the rest whenever either the instance zone portals are on screen or the purple separation borders are on screen (inside dungeons) this causes my framerate to plummet (as you can imagine) and which should never happen with 4 titans. Did everyone forget SLI and surround are nothing short of mainstream now?

My framerate is locked at 60 unless at the start screen or at the zoning screens which for some reason it forces my cards into a lower power state and caps fps at 20?Ĭan't seem to escape issues with this game especially in windows 8. I play on maximum with every setting in NVCP on maximum as well (32xaa AO etc) at a resolution of 4680x2560. Still my frames no longer Drop randomly and rapidly. To be fair, they don't come without problems of their own. As was mentioned (I think?) using radeonpro or d3doverrider are both viable options to achieve this. The temporary bandaid (until nvidia or sqUare do something about it) is to force triple buffering via whatever means necessary.

And you might need the equivalent to the GTX-285 accelerator card, although the new Mac Pro can probably handle FFXIV without an additional card.įor those still following this thread or seeking a fix, the newest nvidia drivers do enable SLI however the micro stuttering is horrendous. Since the Mac version of FFXIV isn't quite done yet, you'll have to boot it to the dark side of computing and continue to use your IBM version of FFXIV.

Making sure the playstation controller software handles the controller via parallels. When I get time, I'll migrate my settings over to the Mac side running Windows 7 X4 under Parallels. I boot to Windows 7 X4 instead, and FFXIV and other stuff runs perfectly under X4. I dedicated a 240 gig SD-Drive to FFXIV I don't use Microsoft Windows. The card has 2 fans, plus I added an external fan.

When I'm doing intensive stuff in FFXIV, the fans spool up and it draws a full 400 watts, that's 400 watts just to power up the graphics card. I use an older Mac Pro with the GTX-285 and get max graphics with no lag or slowdown at all with 2 monitors going. And you might need the equivalent to the GTX-285 accelerator card, although the new Mac Pro can probably handle FFXIV without an additional card. I don't have a heavy IO load while experiencing these problems.Ĭlick to expand.Ummmmm yeah. Windows is updated and I'm not running anything along the game.

Not using any external mod or light/shadow effects, just the in-game settings. Running (or trying to) on Maximum setting. If it can't help me, I'm sure it will help somebody else (Ģx R7970 stock (GPU clock 1000MHz, 1425MHz) Still curious about Krozjin trick, with my FPS dropping so much and so often, I definitely don't feel like I'm running the game with full performance of the CrossFire. I can see that both cards are being used, CPU and GPU are always around 40~55% load.

I have a lot of microstutters while walking and such, but sometimes it gets really really bad, feels like playing at 15 fps, and no matter where I go, it stays that way. Will keep an eye in the thread mentioned, thanks again! Click to expand.Thanks for the tip! Completely forgot that are tools that help to control the frame rate.
