[quote][i]Quote from: RanDom_ErrOr[/i] im running FFXI on an AMD 2700+ with 768MB ram with an Nvida GForce FX5600 card and i run 1024x768 smoothly @ 30FPS in ToAU *including Al Zabhi and Whitegate* with settings turned all the way up (both in FFXI config and ingame settings) Since PC version of FFXI emulates how FFXI runs on PS2, you're better off with a faster CPU than video card as the graphics are mainly processed CPU side instead of using something like Direct3D or OpenGL. Until S.E. changes this *i severely doubt they ever will* we're screwed until someone completely rewrites the client and adds the ability to use Direct3d / OpenGL. (this wont happen due to copyright issues, Intellectual Property Rights, etc... and the fact it would be a rather large project and would take a long time to get right...) but if you're looking for a good budget card, look around on pricewatch.com and take a look at the different cards available, and go out and read some reviews... If you're only going to play FFXI on your computer, then you'd be fine even with a GeForce MX400 chipset *this will be somewhat laggy and i wouldnt suggest running over 800x600 with this* if you want to play Doom3 / Quake4 / Half-life2 then anything Geforce FX5200 and above will do you just fine...[/quote]
