Final Fantasy XI Performance
There were some severe rendering problems with the Final Fantasy XI benchmark where single polygons would fill the screen. Currently S3 is looking into this issue for us, and its not a stretch to think that this issue is also related to the absolutely horrible performance the card has on this benchmark. We will chalk this one upto some needed attention from the driver team for now. Hopefully they will be able to fix whatever has gone wrong here.

Time is an issue. Even if they are able to fix all the IQ issues and OGL performance problems, if they release it too late, their performance will be below what ATI and NVIDIA will be offering, and they'll fizzle out. If they can get it out before the big boys bring out their new stuff, and they price it cheap enough, they'll have a product that can potentially take a bit of the FX5200/R9200 portion of the market, which would be good because those cards don't perform well for their price IMO. It will be nice to root for someone other than ATI and NVIDIA for a change.
