My GTX460 easily handles that for Final Fantasy XIV, as long as your CPU is decent it should be fine.

Thanks. Checked out future shop, and they had an open box Acer with a 2.33ghz Core 2 quad with 4 gigs ram, Windows 7 64 bit and a 640gig HD. Was open box, so got it for 349$ which is perfect for them. For what they do with it, it'll last em another 10 years...

I got some advice earlier on a suggested build for my parents. Basically the build would come to 606$ with tax and shipping included. Now, someone suggested just going with an HP/ Dell since they won't be doing gaming. How bad are the comps at future shop? This one for example...

^ Oh, other people have noticed. I just recently got my GTX260, so when I intially built my pc, I downloaded the latest drivers. Install Bioshock...and wtf, runs like ass. Tinker with a few things in the options, read about a bunch of tweaks outside the game, nothing works. Searched...

I know we shouldn't update EVERY driver, but I'm still on 178 to run games like Bioshock properly. Every release since then makes that game, and others, run horribly choppy. 178 is what, about a year old now? There's probably some options in the newer ones that could benefit me, but if they...

Got my card today, slapped her in, and two successful boots in a row! No more beep errors, thanks again Jeff.

Still hasn't been sent out today. edit: Nevermind, they shipped it out late this afternoon, hurrah! Not sure if Jeff had anything to do with it, but it seems likely. So thanks if it was you.

Ya, Crysis ran well for me with my 260 on 1280 resolution, but it wasn't phenomonal. So I'd imagine it would struggle a touch at higher res.

Nice Couic, hopefully it means mine will be on it's way this week :)

No worries, if it is in fact stock issues there's not much that can be done. These things happen with shipping/receiving.

I'd be offering up extra money though. The initial card was only 3 weeks old. Oh well, I'll just wait and see what happens over the next week.

Do any of you know if I call them back and ask for a GTX 280, and pay the difference, if they'll send that out? (Especially if they have that in stock...)

Well I just called BFG, and apparently the Canadian warehouse is having stock issues. It might be another week before they send something out... great...

I sent off my RMA awhile ago,a GTX 260, they received it on the 6th of July after Canada post said they had received it June 30th. Does this stuff normally take 6-7 days to be received into the warehouse, then another week to sent out?
