Following on from the above...

I built two custom PCs just for this game too, however I have not experienced any graphics lag since I began. At all! It's as smooth as anything, and I'm on what is considered a "busy server".

Building a PC means little unless you use good parts, and also it can mean little for an MMO if you end up using a slow ISP. I'm not sure what you guys have experienced but have you considered these possibilities? The large FFXIV forums don't have many people bringing up graphics lag at all.

Where did you hear this?
