Pretty solid so far. I'll go get Fraps or something to find out though. I don't know how to check otherwise.

Edit: Just ran fraps and ran around a bit. Seemed to fluctuate between 20 and 50 depending on what was happening on screen. Took a new shot with a zombie too.

Right now I'm in 1024x768 in Medium Detail. I haven't tweaked anything yet, and I should. Here's a few random shots, I'll take some better ones later.

I'm running a P4 2.8ghz with HT, 512 ram and a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb vid card.

Dude... you along with everyone else would be doing us a favor if you would also post your specs. The quality of those pics is amazing, so I guesse you have a nice setup

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

have you read any of harcdrops benchmarks Karish?

They aren't my pics. I'm not sure of the resolution, but it's in high quality. I can't wait to see what it looks like on Ultra.

Edit: Correction. That's 1600x1200 at MEDIUM quality.

Omg, Speed. Please take a screenshot of the Q2DM1 The Edge remake map in Multiplayer.

 

[Nester]

Are you messing with me? That's in here? I'll be back soon.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Is is physically possible to play this game in the highest setting yet?

Doesn't it need a 512MB card for that, or something? The X800XT is only 256MB, as far as I know.

Yep, Ultra Quality needs a 512MB card.

 

[Nester]

That's it there, to my right is the curvy staircase.

I experienced two things running through that map. The teleport animation and the beserk power up. Both are CRAZY. If I could host a video I would, the sounds when you are going beserk are insane.

 

[Ecrofirt]

and there are no 512MB cards on the market yet, right?

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

nope

 

[Ecrofirt]

any idea when they're due out? I mean, the X800 just came out recently, and the latest nvidia card must have come out recently as well.

 

[metsallica]

Actually according to the recent [H]ardware guide, the game is fully playable in Ultra with a 256MB video card.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

i havent heard anything about any in devolpment even (I dont even the think the highest of the highend new cards are more than 256)

Oh man, that rocks. Thanks. Here is a comparison shot.

 

[Ecrofirt]

that's my point. I'm not a big follower of nvidia cards, because the Dell PC I'm getting only deals with ATI. Even there though, the highest of the high on the ATi side, the X800 XT, is only 256MB. I guess it could very well be a year or so before anyone can actually play this game at full glory.

Of course, how did id test the game on ultra mode?

 

[Nester]

Alright, I divx encoded an avi I made with fraps. It's 7.7 megs. I have a pretty fast upload, so if you want to see it really quick send me a message on AIM. Name on there is NathanShad.

[Ecrofirt]

yea, I just looked through that.

Hmm, I wonder how a Dell XPS gen 3 will do?

3.6GHz P4, 2GB RAM, and an X800 XT

 

[shpankey]

Oh man, that rocks. Thanks. Here is a comparison shot.

that's the greatest dm map ever made in any game ever.

 

[metsallica]

Successfully, although the Nvidia handles the game better.

The official benchmarks
This system has similar specs to the one you mentioned, except it has 4GB of ram and a PCI express slot. Scale the framerate back a bit (to compensate for Ultra vs. High) and the high-end X800 will probably average around 25 FPS. That's playable.

Hope you can shoot and beat the shit out of zombies with the monkeywrench simulaneously!

[Yusaku]

I like how they misspelled satellite.

 

[Nester]

Someone hosted two videos I made, both in Divx. One is in 640x480 which made the video run much better, and then there's the beserk video which runs a little choppy seeing as I'm running in a high res and encoding an avi at the same time.

http://doom3.fragshack.com/media.htm

I warn, don't direct link those videos. The guy who is hosting them set it up to display nasties if you do.

Now I'm really going to sleep.

 

[isamu]

Good grief how much would a rig like that cost?

By the way that avatar is just wrong! LOL

 

[shuri]

GOOD GOD!

I want the GAME NOW NOW NOWNOWNWOWNWOWNWOWNOWOW

 

[Vormund]

A 512MB Video card is needed for max settings? Damn.

I guess my A64 3000+ X800pro is shite then.

 

[FriScho]

ultra high quality is not using any texturecompression, that's why it needs such idiotic ram specs.

lol lol lol, thats some funny shit

 

[Gattsu25]

so...from your impressions...dos the game have no gameplay? is the abundance of ammo enough to make you not get scared? do the graphics help create a gameplay experience so poor that it could only be better if it looked like shit?


sorry...that other thread with all the asshats is annoying beyond belief

 

[DopeyFish]

I ran into the store and saw doom3 boxes all over the place only to realise it was the version i wasn't looking for

I see they're fans of Street Fighter Alpha 3/Capcom

 

[Hitokage]

Where's a site with some benchmarks of Low Quality?

 

[DopeyFish]

i wanna see benches of 640x480 on some setups

 

[akascream]

Called my EB, they said they were getting it early, but not till monday. I can't remember the last weekend I just wanted to end.

 

[Malakhov]

Is it starforce or not? I need to know if I cancel my pre-order or not.

 

[ravingloon]

SpeedRazor: I have a pretty similiar set-up and was just wondering if multiplayer ran smooth on those settings?

[boo7z]

If I remember correctly, id said that Doom 3 would not default to Ultra unless the card was 512 MB...nothing about you not being able to change it yourself.

 

[The Shadow]

Where are the benchmarks for the poor PC gamer? All you ever see is a PC cock fight when a new games comes out.

I don't know much about that one, will it let me play my original copy even though I have daemon tools and alcohol 120 installed? That's my worry there.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Yes.
