pleas help me!!!do comps come with the system requirements to play or do i actually have to waste a few $100's on a *bleep*ing video card!!!!???? please say i dont ahve to because i get this error when i try to load the game tht says cant find hardware TnL and i wanna play BAD. thanks for the help in advance.

you gotta have a good video card or it won't play, square in known for is graphics

it means hardware textures and lighting
this just allows for high quality shadows and stuff like that, if u buy a Ge Force 4 Ti4600 for about under £100 that should be enought for FF XI on med settings ne higher than that and u would not see the difference becuase your motherbouard prob dont have AGP8x

i bought mine for $150, its good, i have it set on the highest resolution and turned on the weather and shadows...this game has very nice graphics. so if you can try to get the best video card you can to highten the ffxi experinces

when did u buy it cuz £150 can get u a preety beasty graphics card these days. An what is it i love talking about hard ware

november, radeon 9600 256mb

yep thats a pretty decent grafix card

yeah, this kid was gonna get a radeon 9600 pro for 20 bukcs....i'm jealous

Fwooooooooohhhhh
On Ebay I saw A PNY mega card(cant remember name So its a mega card) 5900 Ultra with all the home cinema shit and every thing for I fink it was £60 which is Still mega cheap beings as that the card at the time cost £390

Did you get it?

i think on the benchmark score raedon 9800 pro achived the best FPS. If you want u can get yeah the Gforce Ti series i think they suport the somthing buffering that other video cards dot offer. plyaing on ff11 in low res means missing ot on alot of shiz.

Ive got a Leadtek GeForce 6600 GT GFX card. At what resolution would i be able to play the game at?
