I play most new games on HIGH or Ultra high with 40-60 FPS And i cant even play Final fantasy anything above high?
Someone else said few hours ago he only has a casual pc and he was running it on high and stuff? :S

By "most new games", do you mean single-player games or MMO's as well? And if you look at all the textures, layers, and shadows in the game, you'll understand why this one might hog more resources. Even the sky looks awesome!
Depends on your specs, if you have a great card being bottlenecked by an older processor then that'll probably dampen your performance.
Without knowing a thing about your computers specs how is any1 supposed to respond to this?
Sam opinion: no specs, no fix.
Anyway, check if you've got the Ambient Occlussion option enabled and disable it, it seems to be causing major performance issues.
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
AMD Phenom II X4 B50 OC'd @3.8 Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 OC'd @ 855/1310 Mhz
4 GB RAM DDR3@1333 Mhz
I have the new GTX 460 sonic platnium card. But im waiting on buying a new Power Supply first.
But my specs are...
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 4094MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GS
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 9500 GS
Run the Benchmark to see for yourself. Heck even my system, which is great, gets its ass kicked by that game:

I'd recommend getting another 2gb of ram if you can, too. I only have 4 gb in mine (because my other 2 sticks stopped working. The RAM isn't bad, the ram slots are i think. or the cpu controller. sigh.) I hear it runs better with 6gb rather than 4gb. But yeah, definitely get that new Power Supply!
Ill answer for you its your card the 9500gs (simply put it doesnt run it well) is not really meant for this game until you upgrade to that new card your bottlenecked. Sorry bro. the bright side after you get your power supply your golden the above poster is right 2-4 more gigs of ram would help but its not the big issue here by far its the card in fact the requirements say 9600 or better.
Edit: here ill link you a great post on this http://www.linkshells.com/content.php?125-You-don-t-need-a-1-500-PC-to-run-FFXIV
Thanks
I think i have 4ram slots on my board. What would be best to do? x2x2x2? and leave one empty?
you're a gamer and still running vista? IMO upgrade to windows 7 or downgrade to windows xp, vista is the worst for gaming.
It's true. It hogs more resources, making less of the resources go to your games!
Processor is good, it's likely your current video card slowing you down, a decent cheap would be the nvidia 9800 GT, but it sounds like your using a labtop and im not sure what would be a good upgrade for
Dont facey wasting money paying for xp or win7
Depends on what you have in there, I guess. I'd imagine you have two 2gb ram sticks in there. You could always just grab a third 2gb stick and toss it in, or get 2 1gb sticks and toss it in for the dual channel. (for whatever that'll help you)
I said i have the Nvidia GTX 460 Sonic platnium edition. Im just waiting on buying a new power supply ^^ Thanks anyway though
There's a 9500 GS and a 9500M GS I think. Which would mean he's using a desktop... I believe. I wouldn't get a 9800GT as that's what I have and it doesn't run it so well.
Lol he has a GTX 460 though hes right for all you saavy peeps 9800 GT is the cheapest ticket around.
Whats your full specs and yes 9500gs is in desktops i can think of atleast 1 m9340f http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01465973&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en that uses that card. 9800gt should run it fine on mid range graphic settings so whats your full specs?
Whats max ram you can have in Vista 64 bit?
The 32-bit editions of Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate, all support a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. The real variations come when we start looking at the 64-vit versions. On a system running x64 Vista Home Basic, you can add as much as 8 GB of RAM. x64 Vista Home Premium supports as far as 16 GB of RAM.
