Well i just thew the 9800 in my machine yesterday.
I didnt get a chance to pick up Doom 3 yet but before I had to play Battlefied Vietnam on low everything to even be able to play at all (and it was still horrible)
Yesterday i was playing on 1280X1024 Full graphics/textures/shadows and it was sooooo smooth.
D3 here I come baby.
Ill be playing it real soon, jeez i havent played anything like this since duke nukem 
dnkroz remember that anyone? gives you god-mode hahaha.
Iām upgrading my computer specifically for this game. Mainly processor for now. My lower end athlon xp doesnāt meet the requirements and it end up being a chopfest. But my GeForce Ti4200 at least lets me kinda run it at 640x480. I guess I just need one of those 6800Ultraās ore something. (yeah, Iām dreamin)
Congrats Fester. Just some precautions now youāve installed it, make sure you have a surge protector!
Thanks man. :thumb:
Would never run this machine without one. I live in a single floor condo unit that has power fluxes all the time.
That and I just spent a whole butload of coin on this box a few months ago :beam:
Commense drooling.
hahah, surge protectors have saved my life a few times!
I have a GForce 5900 and am very happy with it. Although when I boot up doom and ask it to pick the āoptimalā settings it defaults to 640x480 on medium - ouch.
But I just bump up the screen rez to 1024 and it works fine. The ODD stutter, but not much.
Also, I have hooked my card up to my tv and used the ācloneā function so what I view on my Desktop is on my TV and since I have a wireless mouse and keyboard I have been playing this game on my TV and itās Awesome! Things arent as crisp but itās a bit lighter, I can see more and the Screen is much bigger - I love it! Not to mention the 5.1 sound I have coming from my home theatre! :thumb:
Now there is a thought. I didnt even consider going through my TV with my wireless keyboard and mouse.
I am so going to try that.
Thanks man.
Yeh, Iāve had Doom 3 for a few days now and it is one **** scary game. Iām running it on a Radeon9600XT 256mb/P4 2.6/1gig ram and itās fine on full detail 1024x768, but with no AA or AF, that seems to slow it too much. For anyone who loves immersive gameplay and doesnt care so much about multiplayer (which sucks) BUY THIS GAME NOW.
LoLā¦ I love this game (although I can only play it like once a week)ā¦ you know how they say like those stupid Resident Evil games were supposed to be scaryā¦ riiight. Well this one boasts about it and lives up to it. Itās awesome.
What makes it scary is that when you have to use your flash light and then see an enemy you have to put away your flash light and hope that your target hasnāt done some nifty ninja moves on you and is still infront of you.
One thing that bothered me about this isā¦ even though I bought this gameā¦ because I have CloneCD installedā¦ it wouldnāt let me play itā¦ so I had to get a fixed exe so I could play a game I BOUGHTā¦ how dumb.
Yeh lol I found that too. Games developers are getting sneaky in their old age.
DIABOLICAL, even.
Just picked up this bad boy today.
It runs insane on my new card on full deatil.
I am not usually scared by games but this friggin thing almost made me crap my pants on a few occasions. Especially when I first started. I like the interactivity with your world too. It just kicks monkey arse.
I love how things in the enviorment can scare the hell out of you too because you are so paranoid.
Alright enough forum going back to Doom3
