DOOM 3

.

Hey guys look at the following configuration and predict , Will DOOM 3 work on it.


Petium 4 1.6 GHz
384MB RAM
32 MB Nvidia TNT2 ( overclocked Core speed 170 MHz
Memory Speed 180 Mhz)
40 GB 7200 rpm Hard disk
9.0b DirectX.

If no , tell me what to change.

Plz dont make fun of this.

all of your specs is enough except for a teeny weeny probs in your graphics card.u will atleast need to have 64Mb of video ram in order to get a decent graphics range try for a Geforce 2 Mx440 with Tv out or if you want all the eye candy then opt for the best Geforce in the fx series.rest assured u have enough for a decent gameplay atleast i think.

[navisangha]

thanks . Plz tell me if i can get a good Graphics card under 5k

[prankzter]

graphics card needs adjustment..try geforce FX..costs justs around 4000 bucks, but if u want a cheaper solution, then go in for a geforce 4 mx 440 card, 64/128 mb is ur choice.

[Kl@w-24]

I think Doom 3 won't run on a GeForce MX. Go for FX series.

[bhalchandra]

Yes i agree on Kl@w-24
Go for GeForce FX 5200 128 MB DDR from pine( xfx )
it will cost u upto 3500 and if u want go for higher one then go for FX 5600 128 DDR i think that will cost 6000

So n......joy DOOM3

I have the following 2.4G Intel P4, 512 DDR, 128Mb fx5200 overclocked from 250/333 to 285/410.

If i play at 640*480 at medium details i get around 35-40Fps and with 1024*768 with low details i get 12 fps max. So in your case if you want to enjoy Doom3 optimally, thats is atleast 40 FPS u need to upgrade otherwise your Ram is a bottle neck, Gfx is outta question and the CPU will prove to be a bottleneck too. Not a rosy picture but its a fact !

If u get the GFX right, the rest exactly matches the min requirements for DOOM III. If u've a little more money, upgrade ur RAM with a 256MB stick.

[DKant]

Or 128 MB. But I guess it wldn't be worth it. Go 4 256MB. If u've got the money ofcoz.

[Satan_Rulez]

..........
Is Doom 3 out already.
Sorry for being so ignorant.

[blade_runner]

@Satan_Rulez: its out already.

@Dkant: Dude my frnd has the following config p4 1.7G, 256 Mb ram and a Fx5200. The game simply refuses to go beyond the start menu.

Hey blade_runner, I have almost the same config as urs( AMD 1800 / FX 5200 281/430 ) and I'm able to play with no hitches (35fps) at 800 X 600 High settings. Did you know that if you turn off the shadows, it disables useless stuff such as player and enemy shadows, and you get a boost of 5fps. No, the ambient shadows in the game cannot be disabled. The game plays much faster.....Here's my post to play more smoother:-

thts very true
my config is
p4 1.5ghz
512mb ram
geforce fx 5200

and im probably gonna avoid this one
will wait for HL2 and then maybe upgrade

Nice tips gamefreak14, but i have already tried all the tweaks, but if ur hardware isnt upto the mark then what does it matter if i get a few FPS more ......i'll play this game when i upgrade!

[Satan_Rulez]

Yeah better to wait than getting unplayable 20-30 FPS.
Whats th point in playing if u r not enjoying it.?

[nikhilesh]

ull have to upgrade ur ram,maybe(*maybe*)u can find a GF4Ti for under 5k.

[plasmafire]

blah.. u won't b able 2 njoy the game..

my .02$: get 2 ghz cpu, 512MB ram, GFFX 5700

[Nemesis]

yeah ur config is on the edge....
apart frm ur graphics card, ur system meets the minimum requirements. u need a faster cpu, more RAM and a better graphics card.
