Weird Fps Lag With Super Sampling.

I have been experiencing some weird lag caused by bard spells with my windower client super sampling and running at 1920x1080. Seems to only happen with bard spells but it chunks my fps horribly. This shouldn't happen with my rig and I was wondering if anyone else is running into this.

Rig info :
980 TI
Driver 364.72
I7 4770
32Gb 1600 RAM
Windows 10

Unfortunately, the power of your rig doesn't mean much for FFXI. There are many things your CPU or GPU can't fix by force in the game's architecture, such as the checkerboard appearance in the sky images, laggy glow effects etc. Who knows why the bard songs cause some weird lag for you... The best answer to FFXI graphic issues is "Spaghetti code, son" (see: Metal Gear games and nanomachines).

if you're using config plugin to have ~60fps and dip below ~60 fps for basically any reason at all the game runs at ~15 fps until whatever is making you run that way is off screen. It's one of those things where you have to decide between living with that issue or living with 30fps.

i just put it off, much better, same problem with a gtx960 card, its so much smoother now..
