Look to see I upped my stuff like 2 years ago and so far it hasn't conflicted with anything at all. My specs are kinda outdated, and I have it upped all the way and it runs fine.
Unless your computer is severely old, it'll probably be able to handle 2048x2048. Worse case scenario, if it does get choppy just lower the values a little and you'll find a happy medium...but I'm betting you're not going to have problems. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 08-23-2008, 11:57 AM | #380 (permalink) | | Wants your picture FFXIWiki Team Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 3,226 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 290

Look to see Gotta love DX8 and the crappy client, no matter how good your computer is you will still get a frame rate hit when you have many players on screen at the same time.
(Regardless of if you have the game set at 800x800 or 2048x2048)
Also apparently SE said in an interview in November that they were dropping DX9 because it would take "too much time", so they were focusing on improving the DX8 client instead. Which hasn't happened either, specially now that Nvidia went and fixed the problems they had with XI. So SE probably decided it wasn't worth it for them since people will still play the game anyway.  | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 08-23-2008, 04:57 PM | #382 (permalink) | | SOS Brigade Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: None of your damn business Posts: 3,893 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 861

Look to see Also, what ever fix is in the 169.17 drivers is also in the .21 and later. 169.17 are old enough that you may have problems with other games with them so later drivers are a better bet.
If you're running a 6, 7 or 8 series GeForce and want the best FFXI experience, you can't run drivers older then 169.17. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 08-24-2008, 08:57 PM | #387 (permalink) | | Smithy in training Join Date: Aug 2008 Posts: 15 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 1

This means the 6000 series, 7000 series, and 8000 series. Your card is a 8000 series.

I really, really don't like messing with my PC when I don't know what will happen for sure (I've had too many break downs in the past)
EDIT: Ugh gdi I can't find it. I'm looking in HKEY LOCAL but don't see a "Playonline US" or any crap...
stupid vista -. - I can't find the folder/files described in the OP (which is retarded because I can find Electronic Arts and my other game folders but NOT my Square Enix folder.
EDIT2: Specifically, these are the folders I see under "Software"
Classes, Clients, Conexant Systems, CXT, Hewlet-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA Corporation, OBDC, Policies, Realtek, Registered Applications, Sonic, SRS Labs, Symantec, WholeSecurity, Wow6432Node, and Yahoo. >_>
EDIT 3: It was under 6432. ZOMG IS PRETTY!!!
