    The boss there really looks gruesome and looking at it makes my FPS go from 30 to 6 which adds to the difuculty.
    Iron, how about laying off the spoilers, its rude.

    You can always post spoilers as long as you set the text to be the same color as the BG, that way people have to highlight it to find out what it says

    I'm getting 40-60, depends on the amount of lights and shadows in the scene

    1024 High gets me 43 FPS on a 5900 nonultra modded to 5950 @ 510/950. AXP 2.32 Ghz and 512 MB of mem. I think 8x anistropic filtering is on too.

    w00t! I got my system running this game now.
    900 Athlon
    784MB pc133 @ 100 speeds (ECS K7vza v1.0 MOBO issue...)
    GF3 ti500, 64MB

    Apparantly the vid card was overheating, so I got every spec of dust off it, and put a desktop fan blowing on it. The stupid heatsink barely has any surface area... no wonder it kept dying.

    Anyway, I unpacked the PK4 files and did the cache tweak, and it rain fairly well. Sure, my monitor still doesn't do dark areas in general very well, and things become choppy in eye candy intensive areas... But overall, it's very playable with this system.

    Or the SPOILER tag could be used.

    Spoiler:
    Like this - to keep things discreet.



    Now the gamers would have to highlight the text to read it.

    Personally, I don't see how video games have "spoilers" now... I suppose in a way they do, but it just seems strange to me to think of it in that fashion.

    What's really funny is that I didn't even intend to post any spoilers. I figured since we were all playing Doom3 here so when I say something like "The boss looks really gruesome" that it would be no surprise to anyone. Looking back though one or two things I said did cross the line so I removed them.
