Fantasy XI

Final Fantasy is a title that is well known to
console gamers, but it appears that Squaresoft is ready
to make the jump to the PC, with a MMORPG version of the
classic. The demo version comes bundled with a
benchmark, which displays a final score every time a full cycle is completed. Although
the demo is meant
to check an entire system's readiness to play the game,
the number of frames rendered in the demo scales well
with different video cards installed. Lower scores indicated
some frames were dropped to complete the demo in the
allotted time. The scores below were taken with
the demo set to "High Resolution" (1024x768), with
anti-aliasing disabled. |

Asylum 5700 Ultra took a more commanding lead over the Radeon
9600XT, besting it by 260 points, a lead of approximately

We
continued our testing with the DX9 based Gun Metal
benchmark developed by Yeti Studios. This benchmark,
like all of the others used in this review, is based on
an actual game engine. Gun Metal uses
Vertex Shader 2.0 and Pixel Shader 1.1 ops in the
creation of the game world. This test is heavily
GPU limited, and because Yeti's intent was to stress all
modern 3D accelerators, anti-aliasing (2x) and
Anisotropic filtering are enabled by default, and cannot
be disabled. We ran this test at 1024x768 and
again at 1280x1024. |

At both resolution, the BFG
GeForce FX 5700 Ultra held a significant lead over the
Radeon 9600XT in the Gun Metal tests. When it comes to
the higher-end models, however, the test results were
virtually identical.
