    FFXI ATI 5870 fps problem

    This might have been ask somewhere here, that is I'm getting the low fps like 10-15 fps in the game. I have been google and people were talking about change the driver version into the older version one. However, the only problem is anyone know which driver versioni is recommended?

    The one I'm using it right now is v10.6

    Goodluck fixing this, it seems like FFXI hates new hardware, my 275gtx has the same problem.

    10.4 seems to be what most agree has been the best driver release. 10.6 is total trash, it dropped my performance in most games by 30-50% (yes, that much). I am running 10.4 atm.

    That's cool, wish I knew why some people had 0 problems and others have problems like myself.

    Just realize that I forgot to put up the spec

    win xp 32bit
    Q8400
    4gb ram
    ASUS P5Q SE/R LGA 775 Intel P45


    I have been about 15fps everywhere, it even drops below 10fps like in campaign, sandoria_S and etc

    Seems like I may try 10.4 and 10.5

    Ok without fully dissecting your situation, my guess: ati and nvidia's progressive march towards ending support for winxp may be showing up in their drivers. hardware failure is possible but im guessing driver related

    most likely the drivers, how are your fps with other games?

    with FFXI I had to install CCC 9.11 for it to be playable, everything else was giving me 10 fps

    My pc currently only left FF11 and WoW. But I have cancel wow subcription since last Dec
    Most likely I will go to test it using the Wolfeinstein or torrent the MW2

    downgrade to v10.4

    FF11: still same around 15 in crowd, but improve to 28-29 in empty area or less crowd places
    MW2: fraps shows over 100fps in the highest resolution

    So, I think we can just conclude that FF11 is too old
