USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Would like to run FFXIV on at least mid-performance settings
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: GeForce 9700M GTS 512 MB GDDR3
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: X305-Q701 - Upgraded memory to 4GB
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: n/a
PARTS PREFERENCES: None
OVERCLOCKING: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: just got a 1474 on the FFXIV benchmark which is low end. My laptop currently has 4GB of RAM so I'm assuming I will need to upgrade my graphics card, if possible.
Can anyone give me a few card ideas I can upgrade to that will have my PC running to at least mid-performance range?
