I got the Doom III PC:GAMER

[Orange]

I got that issue today after running practice, along with my AP test scores.
2 nice suprises in one day : ) too bad i need to upgrade.
1.8 ghz, radeon 9000 pro, 512 mb ram.
thats under the low end comp i think, lol.

I have Radeon 9600 Pro, Athlon XP 1800+ and 512 mt DDR. What do you think are my chances? Maybe more ram?

no, a vid card is what you need ...I read somewhere the nvidia 6800 runs doom at medium settings!!!

I heard the 6800 runs it on high at 1024x786...

Well then I'll probably buy a Radeon 9800 Pro. They don't cost shit anymore, and I think it'll run Doom III in all its glory

OMFG. i have just seen the 6 page article on PC GAMER that gave it a 94%.

im sorry to say this in a hl2 forum, but the screens i saw shat all over the recent hl2 stuff we've been seeing. Talk about plasma balls firing, cacodemons attacking, baron of hells teleporting, INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!

i want this so badly. (By the ways archville and BFG OWN biiiig time)

Anyone noticed that Gamespy.com have posted some new Doom III XboX screenshots? They look quite good, in my opinion better than the previous XboX shots.

I like this one http://media.xbox.gamespy.com/media/482/482119/img_2231089.html

 

[CptStern]

so anybody actually considering getting the xbox version over the pc version?

I know someone who doesn't have a good enough PC and not enough money to upgrade. If they get HL2/D3 it'll be on the Xbox.

 

[Soundwave]

I'm getting the PC version no matter what, but depending on how much is changed with the XBox version, I may get that as well. Co-op over Live will definately be cool.

If Doom III is as mod friendly as some have claimed I still have hope for co-op... I mean c'mon! 4 players, and a flashlight you apparently choose over holding a weapon (although I haven't kept up to date). I can so picture, early game at least, wandering around with a pistol while my terrified teammate attempts to keep the surroundings illuminated...

Still worry about specifications; HL2 and Doom III are the only games to ever threaten the potential of my rig. A FX 5700 might pull some punches for both... I'd hope.

Can anyone direct me to the new Doom 3 benchmarks?

 

[dassbaba]

I need surround sound speakers so bad OMG

 

[Seppo]

Yeah, I'd also like to know if there are new benchmarks of Doom III. Links anyone?

ID is creating an official FAQ that will answer questions like that. It is supposed to come out tommorow (through a .plan post).

Oh, I see. Todd Hollensead mentioned it in his .plan update. That's great, I had totally forgotten it.
