ATI Radeon 9600

Taemon · 10-20-2003, 12:33 AM

I was wondering if anyone has used the 9600 with FFXI. And if there were any problems with using it.

Auron(DE) · 10-24-2003, 08:48 AM

Well, I have got a Radeon 9600 TX and got a bench without problems: Score 4900 or something.

So I guess there is no trouble with playin. I can tell you more after I got the game

That's impossible! 9600XT it's not yet avaible to buy! Where do u have bought it?

I have a 9600PRO and I got around 4200 in Hi Resolution on benchmark2 so it's ok to play FFXI at max resolution and details!

Will a Radeon 9600 Non Pro do just as good?
please answer..

According to SE ANY Radeon 9xxx will be fine. If you do not know, try the Benchmark, and in case you want to buy it: It will most probably work, even my old Radeon 8500 works, which is about 40% slower thank a 9600 non-pro

Thanks for the Reply, (SE does mean Square Enix right?)
I have read other posts saying that the 9600 nono pro sucks ass,.. but in Australia they cost like $500 AUD..i cant afford that being 15 O.O so i gotta stay with the non pro.

Badrock · 11-02-2003, 02:28 PM

Yes, SE is Square-Enix

I am running a 9600 Pro and it has been awesome. I have had NO lag, NO graphics glitches, and am running with ALL setttings at maximum.

Kafeen · 11-03-2003, 04:27 PM

SquareEnix would be severly limitting who could play if they didn't support it. There's few cards more powerful than it.

jamual111 · 11-03-2003, 08:22 PM

i thought i had DDR ram but i have SD RAM O.O;'', is this bad?

And would i be able to have absolutly EVERYTHING to the max with these specs?

DDR is slightly faster but there shouldn't be any major problems.

Here's what Square say about the benchmark scores.
