BIOS: USA v2.0, HACKS:
•Enabling EE cycle rate (3) may give a slight FPS increase. •Be sure to allow 8-bit textures in GDSX to get a performance boost. •Hack Skipdraw 1 can fix the "no shadow" problem in hardware mode. •Check WildArmsOffset in HW Hacks to remove thje white lines in text boxes. Observation: Using WildArmsOffset will bring a black line in half of the HP bar though., It's a very GPU intensive game, nVidia cards will perform better then ATI cards. To play on native resolution you should at least be using a nVidia 9800GT or a similar performance ATI card. Note that even though DQVIII is a GPU intensive game a dual core CPU clocked at under 3.2GHz will most likely limit performance. , •55-60fps at all times with 1024x768 resolution •PAL version tested (Australian, non-platinum version) working great! Full FPS nearly everywhere in 1280x1280 in Rev 2523. Oddly enough, 8-bit textures slow down the PAL version a little bit, so make sure to turn them off! All other hacks were turned on full blast (except VU skipping was only 2x). Ran on a computer with a 9600GT, E4400 Core2 Duo @ 2.4ghz, and Windows 7 Home Premium, using DX10 mode GSdx. |
