prathapml Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Your previous config (the 1st one) will be pretty good for Doom3 - a review here says:.........we were playing DOOM 3 on a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 box with a GeForce 4 MX440 video card and having a surprisingly good gaming experienceBut the second config you mention will run it well, without having to forgo any of the eye-candy Doom3 provides.

Crispy Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Both configs will be able to run Doom3, but I would'n exspect more than 1024x768 on the first one ... if not 800x600 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 nope he said that he wouldnt expect your first rig to go any higher than 1024 x 768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 i've got a 9600 pro. i play d3 at 1024x768 in high specs with all FX on and without antialiasing (d3 don't need the last and it takes a lot of video resources). it's totally playable without jumps between frames, running doom3 demo 21 fps.

prathapml Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 But definitely, moving to a higher configuration will help.Gamers suggest having atleast 30 fps at the resolution you want to play. But 60 fps is the ideal - because, one moment there could be nothing on the screen but trees shaking in the breeze or the sea calmly lapping the shores - the next moment you get to fight a wicked lot of monsters and baddies of all shapes and sizes, which is when your frame rate takes a beating. At that time, if you were having at a frame-rate of 55 fps, you'd go down to a playable 25-30 fps, otherwise if you began out itself at a low fps, your eyes start seeing slow-ups (the eyes need atleast 24 fps to see a moving picture).So you see, while running it on recommended specs (or thereabouts) might just play the game, you aren't taking full advantage of it. For good running of a game, you should ideally have 2x the minimum requirements (which leads to insane calculations with the newer class of games).

CrashUK Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 9600SE is not good for Doom3 I would get a ATI9800SE and Some of them can be moded to ATI9800 ProATI9800SE is about 10% faster then a ATI9600 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
