    FFXI Vana'diel Bench 3 Challenge!

    There has been a lot of talk lately about what video cards are best for FFXI and if processing speed matters more than your GPU speed. I got to thinking earlier, "Wouldn't it be cool if everyone ran the FFXI Benchmark program on playonline.com and compared results?".

    http://dl.square-enix.co.jp/taru/FFXiB3Setup.exe

    Above is a link to the FFXI Benchmark program (Vana'diel Bench 3) released by SE some time ago. Basically, you download it, install it, then run it. There are settings for high and low quality as well. Here are the rules to the testing:

    1. You must set the benchmark program to high quality.
    2. The benchmark stops and exits right when it finishes, giving you no time to really write down your benchmark total. I want you to take the total from when the screen fades to black at the very end. The final scene it benchmarks is a bunch of Taru doing /confused while airships fly overhead and confetti drops.
    3. When you post your benchmark total, post your system specs. CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, OS, and Motherboard/Laptop model if you know it.

    For example, I ran 3 tests when I got home today just to see which video card of mine was better. Your results should look something like this:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz
    Graphics Card: Two ATI Radeon HD 3870
    RAM: 4gig DDR2 1066mhz
    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
    Motherboard: ASUS P5E

    Score 1 (1st video card): 8761-H
    Score 2 (2nd video card slightly overclocked): 8787-H
    Score 3 (Both video cards connected with CrossfireX): 9721-H

    For shits and giggles I ran it on low quality with both video cards and scored 11474-L.
    There's a lot of questions in tech support asking, "What should I put in my new computer?" and arguments about nVidia vs. ATI for FFXI. I'm hoping this will help people when they buy new computers/laptops, and since we all play FFXI, how the computers perform in FFXI kind of matters Q_Q.

    If anything, you guys can use this thread to flash around your quad-core 4x Crossfire/SLI video cards etc. e-cocks.

    I think they have a thread named something similar in Media Center where people try to take the most breath damage haha.

    CPU: AMD Phenom 9500 quad-core processor 2.2 ghz
    Graphics Card: Two Nvidia 7800 gtx cards SLIed together (however messed up and got ATI mother board so using some hacked drives from long ago.)
    RAM: 2gig DDR2 1066mhz
    OS: Windows XP Home SP2
    Motherboard: Uhhh ATI something, brother made pc
    27 inch flat panel at 1360x768 resolution.

    Score: 6858-h with both cards going not overclocked a bit. I'm not too tech savy when it comes to overclocking, I don't have a lot of money and I'm scared to overheat my shit.

    Not great scores, but best damn FFXI I've ever seen .

    EDIT: I'm more of an ATI guy myself, but I bought these cards dirt cheap from my brothers friend.

    I'd hope people are aiming higher than FFXI when they're trying to decide what standard they should set for buying a new PC -_-

    Xeon e3100 overclocked @4.275GHz
    Patriot PC6400 overclocked @950mhz 5-5-5-15
    780i SLi
    2x 8800GTS overclocked 771mhz core /1944mhz shader /2202mhz memory

    10787-h no sli
    10603-h sli single gpu mode
    9940-h sli split frame mode
    9390-h sli af1
    10082-h sli af2


    It appears the benchmark does not scale well at all in SLi mode. It also seems to appear the score does not scale well either when you reach a certain overclock point. It is probably due to FFXI just being too old to scale at all with more modern hardware.

    Was it just me or did anyone else see glimpses of 60fps FFXI in the benchmark? Oh how a man can dream.
