    Playing Doom3?

    I've been playing it since day 1, and I have to say its pretty scary and damn taking on a system, Im getting about 45-50FPS on med quality @1024X768 with a Radeon 9800XT so I'm getting ready to order me a 6800 Ultra. Anyone else playing? If so, what kind of performance on your box and the specs of the box.

    Anyone going to upgrade?

    Dont upgrade just yet, I mean youve got a 9800XT for gods sake, maybe old drivers, wait a but for catalyst 4.9(beta now) it will make a difference and save you hundreds of $$$, and try OC

    Isnt that on your new system?

    I've had this video card for about 7 months now, and I've been itching for a reason to go back to Nvidia, well I guess this is it!

    Beat it. Loved it.

    AXP 1700+ @ 2.32 ghz, 512 MB, GF FX 5900nu @ 510/950. Played at 800x600 high quality, 45fps or better. Resolution doesn't do as much as detail level in this game.

    You have a loooooooooong way to go. Doom3 definitely isn't one of those 6 hour shooters.

    How do you get it to show your FPS? I never really cared as long as it played smothly. It runs great on my 5950 Ultra at 1024x768 at high quality. I also have a gig of ram and an Athlon 2800. If I play the game before I go to bed I usually have weird nightmares.
