Final Fantasy XIV
Get it, try it out, it's in beta now before the release in late august.
They don't try to reinvent the wheel or anything with this one, they've acknowledged that. They have instead taken some of the best aspects from a lot of MMO's (WoW, Rift, SWTOR, etc.) and combined them into one.
I tried SWTOR, I tried playing RIFT, and I played WoW hardcore for years. This is the first MMO that I've really gotten into since WoW. It looks very promising, and is much more complex an interesting than WoW ever was!

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
I'm trying to run the benchmark thing just because. I have DX11 on this computer, yet it says I can't do it because I don't have DX9. Fun times.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
Hmm. I don't get it. Maybe I don't have something configured correctly.
i7 3770k
32 Gig Corsair Vengeance
MSI GTX660
Samsung 840 SSD
Asus Z77 Sabertooth Mobo
I'll have to figure out what's bogging the system down.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
He could have a 660TI or might have an EVGA card or something rather than MSI which might have a slightly higher core-clock. That would cause the small 200 point difference.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV
EVGA GTX 660 (Non Ti, Non Superclocked)
No overclock.
I did do an SSD specific install of Win 7. I turns off a lot of the crap that is not needed in the OS due to the speed of the SSD. That could be some of it.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
btw EVGA GTX660 has a slightly higher core clock and boost clock than the MSI. Just sayin'

Rn through that. More than anything I have found that it turns off some shit that can extend the life of your SSD. There are some things that can improve performance in there though.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
Are you liquid-cooling your processor?

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
Yeah. Corsair H110. I tried OCing it to 4.5 ghz in the bios, but I'm not entirely sure that I did it right. I've never tried OCing anything before, so I have no idea if it was successful or not.
No sig for me.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV
It certainly isn't needed.
I'll take a picture of my heatsink when I get home. The thing is god damn massive. It also keeps my processor at like 28F and I can't hear it so I'm pretty impressed by it.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
i meant you don't need the overclock, not that you don't need the liquid cooling. you won't see any performance boost at all from it
Re: Final Fantasy XIV
I went with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Best bang for the buck out there. Half or more less than the big boy air coolers for only a degree or two of difference.

ignore the dust and horrible cabling

Re: Final Fantasy XIV
Brother and I will be playing this, you guys pick a server? I want to play on a non legacy server.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV
I'm thinking of playing this very casually. So Ultros is the server?
Probably 2 hours a day max. I haven't played any type of game in 6 months.
