Playing Doom3?

**Radical Dreamer** · August 6th, 2004, 07:43 PM

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?

Nah. My system is running it ok. Same settings as you. Its an awesome game though,

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?

My mistake, someone else, i.e. DK just made a 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.

I'm only in 'Alpha Labs - Sector 1' somewhere

I'm running doom 3 on a p4 1.0 ghz processor, 256 megs of ddr ram, and a 32 meg ati mobility radeon. Yes, I know what your going to say, but I just had to do it.

Just made it to Alpha Lab2. - Playing Veteren Scarier than hell. Oh wait, it is suppose to be hell.

P4 3.2 Extreme Edition
2GB RAM
NVidia 5950 Ultra 256

Auto detect set it on High details at 1027 x 768 Anti-Aliasing on 2x - working great.

I'm now at the point where there are the soldiers with the whip arms and I just beat some of those fat f'ing cyber demons with the dual arm cannons

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.
