  • Can I run this -period-?

    First, hi! Long time no post!

    Now, I -really- want to try this game despite the bad rap it's got since release. I downloaded the benchmark program ages ago and my poor rig couldn't run it well enough to warrant the purchase, -however-..

    I've been seeing a lot of posts on various sites with people saying the game itself runs a lot better on lower end PCs than the benchmark program did. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if I'd be able to play the game period, even if only on medium-low settings. Here are my specs!

    AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+. 2.2 GHz
    4.0 GB of RAM
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 6001), 64-bit
    GeForce 9400 GT (This is the killer, I know)
    Realtek High Definition Audio
    590.7 GB of free space.

    Anyway, thanks in advance. Please try to avoid telling me how cheaply I can upgrade this thing, as a. I'm literally broke at this point and I'm only asking this because my girl has a copy of the game she doesn't use anymore and b. I'm inept when it comes to hardware so any sort of upgrades would need to be installed for me, cranking the cost way up.

    Thanks again, and remember, I only want to know if it can run the game at playable levels on medium or even the lowest settings.

    No.

    IIRC, you need a 9800 at the bare minimum.

          For the sake of your effort, do not attempt to play ffxiv without their recommended build. In my experiences, and many of my friends aswell.. Minimum will be able to launch the game and get on but will be laggy as all hell. Thats just a few peoples experience, just my fair warning.
