| Re: Video Card and Screen Problems thread. FFXI is a major CPU hog, be sure to close all unneccessary background tasks before running the game, except firewall, assuming you are running one, some anti-virus are huge resource hogs *cough* Norton. I would also make sure that your machine is getting proper cooling, heat is the 2nd biggest enemy of a pc, only to static electricity.
make sure your drivers are up to date and directx is also up to date.
Defrag your hard drive often, this also affects game performance, at least for me anyway. |
