FFXI Bench 2 Score / Specs

[Ponoiko]

really would it help if i installed the catalists driver things

[GSDragoon]

lol, yes. Updating drivers is very important.

[Ponoiko]

ok with the newest driver (i think its 3.10)
H-4788
L-5305

[Vairu]

it is 3.10. Dude your scores should be better still though, that's what i get and your specs eat me. What do you have Direct3D and OpenGL set to in your ATI config??

right click desktop>properties>settings>advanced>3D tab

[Ponoiko]

they are both at balanced should i make them more quality or performance (i really dont know that much about comps and this is my first one that i built myself)

[Vairu]

Congrats on building the new comp! I just recently built my OWN first desktop, i've built many before just not for me until now. Hope you have fun, and good luck with below .

9700 can take a heavy load compared to my card so idk what to say, but mine is set as followed:

Direct3D:
2x AA
4x AF(tick the performance radio button, not quality*)
The first 2 sliders below this should be to the far right at Quality and the last 2 sliders at always off

OpenGL:
Same as above.


**people have been able to tell no dramatic difference in quality or performance for AF, except on performance they get a few more FPS


That should be good for standard gameplay, although i'm sure your 9700 can handle more than this, you prolly won't tell the difference in anything higher with FFXI. If this is too heavy for you let me know and i can 'break-it-down' more . Good Luck mate.

Just put in my new videocard
Which is a ATI Radeon 9600XT, got it for 85 bux.

Comp is a
P4 3.0 gig
1 gig of Corsair PC3200 DDR 400 ram

With my OLD card which was a Radeon 8500LE, my scores were:
High Reso = 3200 overclocked = 3400
Low reso = 4200 overclocked = 4400


Just put in my Radeon 9600XT yesterday, scores were:

High reso = 4400 overclocked = 4600
Low Reso =5300 = overclocked = haven't tested.


This is with everything turned on to the max, bump map, smoother textrues, blah blah, etc...:p

I'm also running the DIVI digital input into my monitor now, it looks great!

[Vairu]

nice deal on that 96XT

i won mine in a contest though

but sweet scores !

[GSDragoon]

Where did you get a 9600TX for $85?

[DarkomeN]

Intel Pentium 4 2.6 w/ multiprocessing/hyper threading 800MHz
512 DDR Ram 800MHz
Geforce FX 5200(>_< no cash atm, will change that soon)

Low = 2940
Hi = 1800

dissapointing...

[Vairu]

that card is killin you dude

[Ponoiko]

i dont know what is up with my low bench scores but the game runs perfect on my comp (i have all the resoultions maxed and the weather on....) and i get the slightest bit of lag at the auction house but other than that its all good

[Vairu]

well than that's all that counts! enjoy it mate

[Galdor]

2.6GHZ P4 @ 800MHZ FSB
512MB DDR 400 DUAL CHANNEL

I got my 9600XT for $85 bux through... a shady way, of getting a voucher, which I don't want say how I did it, cuase you never know who is reading :p :sweat:


But I got the card at Best Buy, I used to work there, and I know some people, that did some stuff. Not saying what stuff they did, not that it was bad... not saying..

I'm going to shutup now...:sweat:
