 Final Fantasy XI |
The Final Fantasy franchise is well-known to console gamers, but Squaresoft has since made the jump to the PC with a MMORPG version of this classic. The Final Fantasy XI benchmark runs through multiple scenes from the game and displays a final score every time a full cycle of the demo is completed. Although the demo is meant to check an entire system's readiness to play the game, the number of frames rendered scales when different video cards are used. Lower scores indicate some frames were dropped to complete the demo in the allotted time. The scores below were taken with the demo set to its "High Resolution" option (1024x768) with anti-aliasing disabled. |
As we can see, the OmniChrome fell short of the Personal Cinema reference card by roughly 700 points, totalling 3142. The NVIDA GeForce 5700 based card topped out at 3817, over 22% faster.
