From what i've heard from different people and friends, the CPU is really holding me up on my score . I'm planning on replacing it with an Athlon XP 2400+. With that, I'm guessing i should at least reach the 2800+ on high res. If anybody has similar specs to mine (or to be with the new CPU), please post your score. I wanna see how much better my score could be .

Arigato, skoreanime

you beat me now but I am saving up for

2.8ghz P4
1GB DDR Ram
Nvidia GeforceFX 5600
80gb Seagate

should score better when I get that

[Solidsnake]

i have

p4 2.4g
geforce fx 5200
512 ram ddr
ibm 120gig hd

my score in benchmark2 is:
L:2857
H:1651

what should i change to play this game in high resoultion? any advise?

[GRAFFiX]

be cautious with the seagate, every non SCSI drive from them I've had ended up with a mech failure

At my college, all the Gateway PC's have Seagates in them and the harddrives drop like flies heh


they make good SCSI, but poor IDE




The Duron part is the #1 factor holding your score back. Celerons/Durons are for looking up recipes on the internet, or sitting in a chatroom.... they are poor gaming machines

they cut out the cache... so playing big games on one is like drinking a soda through one of those little red coffee stirrer straws... they struggle

You all are getting better scores than I am.

I think that if your high and low res scores are similar (within a few hundred), it's primarily your CPU holding you up, and if it's bigger, like mine, it's the video card. I've got my eye on a 9600 pro.

Also be sure to have the latest drivers for your video card and mobo, and set your video card drivers to performance wherever possible. I was getting sub-1000 scores before setting things up right. (This machine hasn't been used for games.)

Thanks for the replies everyone .. So I should replace my Duron, which is holding me back.

FeralisCallidus, you really should be performing better than me right now. From what I've heard, the GeForce FX series don't perform too well with FFXI.

Yes skore, your CPU is your bottleneck.

Ive probably got the closest rig to what you want to be compared, except for my ram.

Athlon 2400+
GF4Ti 4200 (closely comparible to your card)
700+mb DDR 2100

I score 4k+ low res, 3.5k high :p

Hrm, I just put a new system together today: Athlon 2800+, GF4Ti 4400 (already owned it), 1gig DDR 3200.

No offense, but I'm thinking I should get a better score than your setup.. but I get 3.5k for high res as well. *ponder*

tnt~

somethin must be wrong with your setup then you should be scoring higher. Thats truley what i get. Over all you shouldnt have too much higher than me though, a 4400 doesnt have barely anything over a 4200, you have a bit more ram on me, but ram only helps slightly (unless you are under the recommended) and you only have 400mhz on me.
