hi i am wondering if someone can help me...

i just bought an ati radeon 9200 se 128 mb and the graphics so poor... what should i do? what settings do i need??

thanks...

I truly suffer on your behalf.
Anyway, in the ffxi config utility basically turn off everything and lower resolutions to minimum. Then try slowly raising it.
As the 9200 se is passivelly cooled your computer will most likely crash from overheating anyway.

I'd suggest returning the card and buying a better one for like $50 more.

so my graphic card sucks damn =( o well got to save up then =) thanks...

I have been away from hardware for a long tim like 5 years. Any suggestions for a graphix card. I can spend upto $500.

Thanx for all the help,

500 bux wow, u can buy a new computer with that ^^

lol, i have an ati radeon 9000 64mb and the game runs fine; 1280x960 res, 1024x1024 background, everything on/max. only thing i turn off is weather since i get some lag when its windy.

actually my 9200se runs ok but the pics are not as smooth hmm how to explain it rounded? its more like pixels like nintendo from way back when =(

i've played ff on a geforce 4 and the graphics is amazing, i want to run ff again with a better graphic card....

with 500$ go buy yourself an 6800GT and
overclock it to an Ultra

anyone know which laptop graphic card can play ff? and hows the pic quality?

I have the ATI Radeon 9600 Mobile in my dell and it runs as smooth as any desktop card. A little high end on price but it is very nice for FFXI. I always turn off the weather effects because that even makes my Radeon 9800Pro on my desktop get laggy.

anyone using a laptop to play ff? if so what r your graphic card specs...

geforcego5200 64mb laptop video ... runs kinda laggy someimes ... mainly in heavily populated zones like jueno AH ... otherwise its great

Two video cards I would personally highly recommend are either the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (128 MB OR the 256 MB) or the NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra. The ATI card will run you $250/$400, and the NVidia will run you about $450.

I would prefer the GeForce, however, due to the built-in Anti-Aliasing options. It was designed with hardcore gamers in mind, so it's got some nifty options which will further enhance (if you don't mind a minimal drop in performance when using those options) your gaming experience.

I use a Radeon 7500 on the IBM thinkpad with everything turned off with 1024X768 and 512x512 on ffxi config. and all effects off in game.

On Comp Have AIW 9800 Pro with AAx4 and effects on, but some chat filters off.

Gets rough around jeuno but the weater is OK

I don't know personally, but I hear there are a couple problems when running FFXI on NVidia cards. Nothing serious, just some bugginess that won't crash the game is all. Anything on par with the Radeon9200 and up will run the game just fine at decent resolutions.
