Very low FPS on FFXI

So I am running FFXI on my new Vista 64bit computer.

Quick Specs:
q6600 Quad Core CPU
4gb memory
nvidia 8600 gts gpu

So I am a problem with very low FPS at times, dipping down to 5-6 FPS. The only time it really does this is when there are more than 10 people (players) in my line of sight and in Windurst, Kazham and Whitegate.

I dont think my computer is the issue, and my connection is fine. I updated all the necessary gfx card and Vista drivers but the problem still continues. Do you think its mainly Vistas problem?

I read somewhere that Vista doesn't like anything below DX9, and FFXI is DX8.1, so is this the problem?

I read on these boards however that many people running Vista 64 bit with FFXI is fine...any help is appreciated.

Re: Very low FPS on FFXI

its your graphics card, FFXI has problems with your series of card

I have the same quad and ram in my system but have a ATI Radeon 3850 1gb card, and I get 29.4 FPS in all areas but Whitegate and Jeuno and a few other zones, and of course low frame rate in besieged and campaign, get about 18-15 there.

All I can really say is make sure your drivers are up to date, or get another video card.
