Benchmark Question

[mad mage]

Hi everyone,I have an AMD athlon 64 3400,and a ATI raedon Express 200 video card. I ran the benchmark V.3 and I got 3300 on low res. and in the low 1900's on high res. Do you think it's possible to run this game with this?
Thanks for helping out another noob.

Re: Benchmark Question

The benchmark pretty much has no relevence to ingame performance as the real game is capped at 30 to begin with, and the lag in high population places such as jeuno will put all systems to its knees due to the fact its a direct PS2 port.
