Returning player, will my laptop be an option?

in Final Fantasy XIV
I am a returning PS3 player looking to be able to spend some time on my laptop as well. Mostly gathering and crafting as that's what I enjoy. My specs are an i7 2.2(3.2) CPU, GTX 760m 2g GPU, and 12g VRam. My HD is lack luster but I don't mind loading times coming off of the PS3.

I am able to play Tera on high settings if that's any indication. I was having trouble getting the benchmark to run.

I'm not looking for ultimate high settings, but an upgrade from the PS3 visuals would be nice.

    FFXIV has a laptop high and laptop standard settings, you should be fine. You might have some graphic lag on Odin, but that happens to most everybody anyways.

    Thanks for the replies. Obviously I'll play with the settings myself and see what works.. but should I expect to set them in the mid range? Also what is the difference in the laptop High and Standard?

    You have a decent CPU, enough RAM and a mobile GTX 760m card With 2GB dedicated VRAM.

    So you should be fine!

    FFXIV is one of the best optimized games today.

    High laptop is like they highest setting for lappys, standard is less more like medium settings, basically i used high for when i was doing solo things and standard for heavy raid environments, I had a 660m it handled it very well, except for odin fate, but most people encounter a problem with that.

    You should be fine. I bet you it'll run with a higher fps than the ps3 could if you configure the settings properly, but this isn't even a big deal especially if you're main interest is crafting and gathering on the laptop.

    You're not going to be able to play it. I'd just forget about it and move onto something else.

    Left wondering if this is serious.  That laptop will be able to play it better than a large percent of desktop players, it's somewhat on the high end.  Or, an answer to your concern, should greatly outperform the PS3 at 1920x1080, assuming it came with a decent display as well.

    It's definitely a joke. But I think you're joking too. It wont run on hit set up.

    If he's playing TERA on high settings hes playing this game on atleast medium-high, I'm not sure why you're so keen on him not being able to run this.

    He's just one of the handful of haters that lurk around the FFXIV subforums.  Don't mind him.
