Nayoung sent me this link, thought u guys might wanna test this out...

http://www.playonline.com/Download/FFXiBench.zip

I got a score of 2072 ..... pretty crap.

The graphics in the Benchmark don't look too good either... I wonder if there's any way to crank it up.. or probably it's set like that.

I'm not gonna get FFXI anyway.. but I thought u guys might just wanna test it out.
 
Aye, I got a score of a little over 3500 IIRC.
I felt it looked very blurred, which says to me that they are trying to implement a kinda soft-FSAA, which will probs be disableable (quite a mouthfull there)
 
and the linux version is where? ;_;

Actully, FFXI will probably not be in my inventory of Square games. I never really got into MMORPGs myself. I'll just call FFX-2 "FFXI"  (it's not really X-2 but X+1 anyway)
 
I downloaded and ran it - I have 512 megs of RAM with the page file disabled, and after it had been running for a couple minutes, it complained about being out of memory and shut off :P

I was only using 208 megs of RAM before I ran it to... memory hog?

Not to mention that the FSAA it uses looks pretty bad and is probably causing a considerable framerate drop...
 
You whining bastards. I got a score of 1835, but you don't hear me complaining about it, do you? No. So there. :-?
 
yeah I realised that it is poorly optimized.. gee.. don't tell me that they are going to run the final game on 640X480 resolution...

And I also heard that Square is working with nVidia to optimize the graphics... now what happened.  :evil:
 
Grrr!

Ok, first I download the program with the intention of seeing how well my V3 would run it, and to show up any nVidiots here (:P), and what happens when I launch it?

Screen turns black, then dumps me to the desktop.

*scratches head*

What API is the benchmark using?  DX8.1?  Or did nVidia pull another one of their secret "screw 3Dfx users" subroutines in this game?
 
Alright.

Thank God for Geometry Assist, then. ;)

I've had it disabled for awhile, so that could be it.

However, by the same token, this also means kyro users are screwed as well, unless they try running it with "3DAnalyse" program.
 
you guys ever see the Warcraft 3 Benchmark program? That looked like utter crap! And the game turned out well. don't judge a game by a small benchmarking program
 
You've got a good point, smurgen.

Anyway, me gots a status update:

Geometry Assist failed to fool the benchmark program.  Considering G. Assist is part of the 3Dfx driver code, and that nVidia has that code, and nVidia is involved with Square in the gfx code behind the game, I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia added some code that allows the benchmark to detect the fact that G. Assist is trying to lie to the program.
 
Kunnnaejundaaa wuwaaa *blink blink* o.O
unnng you have to have G4 or better 3D-card

"5487"
Under G3, 512MB DDR, 2.2GHz...,
but I couldn't test under SiS 650_740 (Y_Y)
 
i got 4141....
jari: why is yours so high?

"GF4 Ti4400" really stop whining -_-;

FFXI is based on DX8.1 or higher...
also game is based on nVidia (I will re-read the homepage again)!!!
But I hope US Squaresoft will release US version of FFXI U.U
 
I think Square is going to release it in English, it would be really dumb of them not to

Uh, if that was addressed to me,  I don't speak/understand/read Japanese (if that was what the first part of that sentence was), so I'm lost on the meaning of that.

A G4?  Since when did Square go to the Macintosh side?! :erm:

Geforce4 my foot!  You do know that I'm the resident 3Dfx fanboy here, NaYoung?  If not, I won't hold it against you if you didn't know that, since its kinda a running gag of sorts around here that started before your time.  :roll:

However, I usually find it annoying when people immediately reccomend getting something of the nVidia species when something doesn't work with my vid card, because its kinda unfair in that the only thing holding back my card is a little discrepency in my drivers that say something like:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
IsDX8.1Compliant=False

So, I'll try runnin' it with 3DAnalyze, as it is reputed to handle D3D8.1 calls better than G. Assist can when it deals with stuff that requires HW TnL capability to function.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of 3Dfx (no thanks to me ;)), I'm happy to announce that that V3 3000 AGP that came with the system that was supposedly fried by a power surge is undamaged and fully functional.  So, YAY for me!! :P

PS: Not Japanese... Korean ;)
WOW cool *blink blink* o.O
Yup you have to have G4 or better 3D-card

Hey says who *tsk tsk* I really like 3Dfx as well =__=
*I really like V5 5500 AGP with Windows 98...*
Cool thing about 3Dfx is that you don't have to
update card-driver very often!!!!
 
I couldn't get it to download. First time it took about a minute before some error table or the other appeared (from their side) and the second time some scrambled text appeared in IE.  :-?
