am i? lol
am i? lol
lololol Look who is talking.
Just saying it's hard to really make this a FFXIV"hardware" thread when no info is released and for all we know is the scaling may be huge to allow top end comps take advantage of what the game can offer, while, at the same time, allowing 2-3 year old comps to still play the game adequately.
The experts disagree with you (not me but tomshardware lol) so you can keep your PMs, i did post a chart they made
Charts, benchmarks Gaming Graphics Cards Charts 2009 (High Quality), Fallout 3
Nvidia is playing a filthy game were they update their drivers focused at GTX200 series then they say look huge 50% boost in that game ! those cards are insane go buy them. but overtime when all gpu drivers get updated we go like wtf.... where is the insane boost it's gone, pure marketing BS.
GT300 will make all these cards obsolete on raw power boost plus if FFXIV used Directx11 none of the old cards can display the extra shaders/effects from Directx11 and they properly will if they are series about using latest tech available as they claim, Directx11 is already in the hand of developers and FFXIV is a year and a half away "FFXIII = summer 2010/FFXIV fall 2010 i bet"
What does it matter? this forum is still much better than Alakazam and others. People will resume talking about XIV as soon as we get more info, which should be very soon anyways. Do you have thread OCD or something? You keep going into every thread and saying the same shit lol
A good pre-release MMO forum!
But honestly, speculation is fine when put into the corner it belongs. I wasn't speaking about speculation(wild or tamed) specifically, just an entire forum degrading into chaos and babble. I would disagree with you on here being better on Allakhazam. Allakhazam only looks worse because it got a headstart. This board was somewhat sensible save for 2-3 threads, now the opposite is true.
EDIT: Oh hey, you edited your post. Guess it was too kind sounding. I don't go into every thread, just the most ridiculous ones.
Just look away until release or something if you think it'll be much better then.
Ah, but then I can't enjoy myself with these absurdities. Why don't you look away from my posts until then? Interesting how that plays out.

Anyway,
I will continue to reply to posts that are directed at me. Despite this, the thread is quite difficult to derail. It never really was on a track.
Yet it was still some sort of useful just a couple of posts up. Not anymore though, yeah.
Hmmm useful in a manner that doesn't pertain to FFXIV perhaps. Well, as quannum said:

i would really like to see some FFXIV system req info.
even tho it turned into a Hardware discussion.
If you want to call TH experts (lol) then you are free to do so. I will indeed keep to my PMs, having answered three already, because i'm not interested in feeding you, unlike certain other members of a 42-page thread elsewhere on the forum.
For a free bit of advice i would recommend anyone buying hardware to check out reviews from more than one site before drawing their own conclusions, and making sure to read the whole review and not just pull up a single graph. For example:

Would be a decent selection of reviews.
@ DX11 in FFXIV, that render path cannot be used with a ps3 game - it's not even fully dx10 certified.
Sorry to others for going OT, i just cannot abide false information being pasted here left right and center. I'm starting to get the feeling though that certain members here are commonly known to provide such info and are generally avoided
I know I'm going to upgrade when XIV comes out. Though it has me wondering about "PS3 limitations" though . The irony >_>;
It's a valid concern, but I think it's a little different this time as has been said already the ps2 was the weakest console last generation, where as this generation it's quite the opposite and the ps3 is the best possible choice to have the console version of FFXIV on (though i still think it will inevitably come to 360)
Some incredible things can be done on the ps3 when you consider its relatively weak hardware in some areas, for obvious reasons - studios will spend a lot more time and money on 'optimizing' a game for a console because they know it will be worth it in returns as there is only one version of that console available. For the PC it's different, you cannot optimize a game for a certain hardware configuration due to the fact that there are so many.
This is why consoles manage on the most part to keep going for years without falling too far behind in the visual department, combined with the fact that as the console life cycle matures studios will learn and code more efficiently, allowing time for more polish and improvements in areas across the board leading to (in theory, and sometimes in practice) better games.
For these reasons and judging from what we've seen so far i reckon FFXIV is going to look absolutely fantastic on ps3, and will look a whole lot better on a modern PC
P.S come on Fairy!
Thanks for the links.
You keep going on about false information in a general manner, but fail to ever specify anything in particular. Furthermore, you never provide accurate information in regards to your blanket statement of "everything in this thread is bad information". You could at least provide correct information. Why you only do so only via PM I find odd. Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest for someone to provide correct information, rather than just saying "oh yeah this info is all wrong, I know the correct information, but I won't provide it for the benefit of everyone reading".
So, please PM me with all of your information that you won't put in this thread. Because I would like to know.
