| Performances Comparisons With Final Fantasy XI Benchmark 3 |
| A Classic Console Franchise On The PC |
|
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 3 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 the 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. |
For a frame of reference, we pulled together several comparison cards to show where the X700 Pro fits within the performance landscape. Here, we see the X700 Pro easily exceed 5000 frames with Final Fantasy. The next closest competitor was an X600XT which came in roughly 15% slower.
