Final Fantasy IX Performance - Exploring Locations

The scene used to benchmark walking around.

This benchmark tests limited 3D rendered over a 2D background that is the town, city or dungeon.
In this benchmark, FRAPS is reporting half the framerate that the emulator is reporting. Here again, we see the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra leading with the 5700 Ultra trailing.

Also, the 9800 Pro 128 leads the 9800 XT by .1 frames here, which shows that there is a little bit of play in the benchmark while it is also not a framebuffer size issue.

For all intents and purposes, the P4 EE and the Athlon 64 3400+ perform the same. This time, though, we see Prescott and Northwood swap places. The 3000+ also creeps up from the bottom here. Again, these framerates are all way beyond playable with the emulator pushing about 300 vblanks per second.
