--Benchmark Guide--

fastcart it does not work that way. Those drivers have been specificaly designed to make the 3DMark score higher using all it advantages against it. The FFXI Bench is'nt an exakt copy of 3Dmark bench.

I scored a 6400 and i am in FFXI PC Beta

[Shadowed]

How about the score of 1612? Oh yeah! lol, Just kidding, ya'll.

Dell Dimension 4300 Intel P4
1.6 Ghz
256 Ram
NVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400
And a cable connection.

Hmmm...

/me needs more ram and a better video card.

[Shadowed]

Fine, I'll take a shot at it. *removes lazy self*

BTW, make sure you have a NVidia card, lol.

In the top left corner-ish, theres an option called "Download Drivers" Go to it, and it's, aparrently, a pull down. This time, click "Download Drivers."

Select Graphics Driver, Select what yours is, (mine and most probably GeForce) and select your system, like Windows XP and such. Make sure your Graphics card is supported (In this case, mine was).

You'll be taken to a download screen, blah blah blah... Just DL the thing. When it's finished, click on the application and, just like a normal installation, just hit OK through most of it. You may have to select a few things, oh well.

There, have fun.

Actually, for video drivers, its best to go to the card manufacturer, not nVidia.

For example: if you have a PNY card, go to www.pny.com (I think that's the website:sweat: )

nVidia just makes the chip, the actual card manufacturer would have more specific drivers for the card than nVidia would.

Hope this helps

Not good Error Measage

Means your vid card isnt either Direct3d compliant(thats really bad) or your having errors, I know how u feel I didnt break the 1500 mark my video cards holding me back but its either a new video card or a new ps2( I had a launch model and it went on me like a year ago) its really bad cause i could prolly swing the import FF11 and a new video card but no PS2 i wanna play FF11 but not that bad I dont think STUPID dad we coulda got a really nice video card about 2 months ago but he said he had no extra monet it was like 70$ off the reg price.. Ends up he was BSing me cause he had like 500$ over the course of the rest of his holidays.

[Mandos]

you need directx 8.1, that could be doing it possibly.

[Alpha]

Pentium 4 1800MHz
1.79 GHz
256 MB of RAM

I had wondered why I kept getting a score of 1500 with this until I looked at my video card. I have a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200! What the heck am I doing with such a bad video card? XD
