XI Wiki
It actually not, because a 4870 is probably just as good (without the DX11) and is a lot cheaper, especially second hand.

Lol, he was saying when the 8600GT came out it was a good card then, but it was an entry card then. The point he was making is that the 5770 now is in the same position.

Same here, using a factory OC'd 4870 (IceQ4+) and am still very happy with it, although I did have some fan trouble that still has me a bit worried since the cards can easily cook bacon. With the release of the the 470 and 480 i'm excpecting ATI to drop the price of the 5850 and 70 here soon and if I have the money and can convince the wife thats the time I may upgrade.

(if someone wants to repost it as an actual link, lol1stpost)
So people can get a quick idea of where their card stands at in the food chain.

my card ranks 18 on that chart and I get 18-21FPS while frapsing and 21+ just runing around, prbably have lower average due to server load in cdertian areas, just an idea of what my vid card is capable of.

I'm not quite sure whats wrong with this list, but it's pretty laughable. 5870 ahead of the 5970? 260 ahead of the 295? The latter in both comparisons are nearly twice as fast as the prior. Originally Posted by Nodame

Probably best to run the passmark benchmark Click and rank your whole system, the thing is you can have a great GPU but if you have a crap motherboard and memory then your not guna get very far.

I got a 1847.2, and I must say.. this is the stupidest benchmark I've ever run lol. Half the video tests didn't even have my GPU clock itself, was sitting at my 2D downclocked frequencys until it got to the DX10 test.
Awful, please don't put any merit into these numbers lol.

I just ran this performancetest and this is what my Computer got:
1126.7 overall
CPU @ 2764.1
2D Graphics @ 281.9
3D Grpahics @ 1586.5
Memory @ 693.9
Disk @ 438.5
CD Drive @ 600.9
CPU is Intel QQ6600
Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Memory 4GB 800MHz DDR2 (nothing special)
Disk 500GB 7200RPM Hitachi
I guess I should look at upgrading to more RAM and faster timings 6-12gb of 1066 should utilize my CPU better.

This is part of my point, I agree that the graphics section is very underwhelming to look at but benchamarking is about data not pretty pictures. Originally Posted by Celeras

Kurokikaze for example has a pretty good system all be it the graphics card which is holding him back.

I'm currently thinking of upgrading my video card to a GeForce 9800 GTX. Anyone here knows how it will handle FFXIV? I'm doing an upgrade soon and I don't want to make another one when FFXIV so I'm looking for recomendations.
