--Benchmark Guide--

[Trapezius]

that REALLY sucks...umm...did you try redownloading the benchmark?

[Anubis87]

I run the benchmark today with ATI Radeon 9700 PRO and P4 2.5GHZ with 512 MB RAM.

Should I not get a better scroe when even tough I do not run any programs :S

[Valrandir]

I got 5096, my system specs are

AMD Athlon XP 2100+ @ ~1733Mhz
512MB Corsair DDR PC3200 C2 RAM
Asus A7V333 MotherBoard
Two Western Digital 40Gb 7200RPM ATA100 HardDrives used by a Promise TX2000 RAID 0 (Stripe)
Asus GeForce4 TI 4600 128Mb
Sound Blaster Audigy

I can't wait for the US release !

yuna544, you should reinstall the following items after the reformat.

- The latest updates and service packs for your windows version, see http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

- The latest drivers for your video card, see the manifacturer web site (IE ati.com or nvidia.com)

- The latest DirectX version, see http://www.microsoft.com/directx/

Re-downloading the benchmark does not apply as a potential solution.

Good luck

Siya's on ghetto dialup... blah ;3

Oh, I switched from using motherboard AC97 sound to a sound blaster PCI 512 I found in the closet. Less load on the CPU gave me 30 more points. 30! w00ty X3.

Score - 5174

- 2.53Ghz Intel Pentium 4
- 256MB DDR RAM (PC2700 Corsair)
- 80GB WD 7200RPM (8MB Cache)
- 80GB WD 7200RPM (8MB Cache)
- 80GB Maxtor 7200RPM (2MB Cache)
- IT7 MAX2 (A-bit motherboard)
- Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 support
- GeForce 4 Ti 4600 (128mb)

Note: that infernal 256 DDR RAM is killing me. Yeah, i'd be nice to some but my standards are WAY above most (huge PC gamer). That will be updated to at least a 512MB DDR RAM within a month. THEN we'll see what I get.

That is awesome for a laptop. I worry about overheating though...

[Anubis87]

Yep laptops are known for overheating by next-gen games so I doubt it can run the acctuall FFXI without overheating.

[Telerek]

I had basically lost hope that I could ever run this after reading through this thread...but it turns out that I'll be able to run it after all- maybe not well, but it'll run

Score: 2197


On these specs (surprisingly):

P3 733 mhz
Geforce 4 ti 4200
512 MB RDRAM
Windows XP Pro SP 1
DirectX 8.1


Now to wait for the US release, because unfortunately I do not know enough (er much at all) Japanese :sweat:

[Anubis87]

People say you need atleast 3000 to be able to run the game. Otherwise it'll lag with just you playing the game.

[CliXx3r]

well i get 1664 on the benchmark test ...

[Anubis87]

And you still play the game on that computer!? It must lagg like shit!

[CliXx3r]

yes it lags and the graphic isnt TAHT good ....but when i get my Radeon 9700 ...it will not lag and my graphics gonna be SOOOO good

[Anubis87]

Nice ^^ I got a Radeon 9700 PRO and it's a real good graphics card. All my games can lay the game at best quality ^^ I get 6137 on the Benchmark with that card
