BobRedthorp Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I just bought my new custom built PC, it has an AMD Athlon 64 3000+, Nvidia Ti4600 and 1GB of RAM, Can anyone tell me if this is enough to make Doom 3 look good at all or have I just wasted my money,
ForceX Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Your graphics card is probably gonna be your main bottleneck....You should be able to play it fine on Medium and maybe even high but with some slowdowns
Gryph Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Doesn't the TI4600 only have 64 mbs or VRAM? But since you have 1GB of RAM, you could probably play at a decent speed on medium setting.

Wizard Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 imo, a GeForce 4 4600 is badass. Should be able to run it at high, but it might lag during certain scenes or when opening doors.

You processor is fine. I brought the exact same one for a PC I recently built for my Parents.
Wizard Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Doom 3 runs best on AMD! FEAR! FEAR! TAKE THAT INTEL FANBOYS.

Wizard Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Well, with me, I have a 9800 Pro 128, a 64 3200+ and 1 GB of ram. I've played it on Ultra, and it lagged when ever i opened doors and certain scenes. So i'm baseing it on that.
BobRedthorp Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 nice one, so I'm not too far behind, well thanks for the reasurance
Sane Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 The door lag is caused by the on the fly decompression of the data. Unpack all the pk4 files and you will see a big difference. You can also set the cfg to use cache, which it doesn't do by default I think, enabling this will also help lessen the lag. Check this site.
Wizard Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I am quite aware of that site. But most people like me, don't want 4 gigs resting on teh hdd.
Agozer Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Well, with me, I have a 9800 Pro 128, a 64 3200+ and 1 GB of ram. I've played it on Ultra, and it lagged when ever i opened doors and certain scenes. So i'm baseing it on that.Sa,e here,excpet 3000+ and 512MB RAM. Medium Setting is flawless. Anything higher than that and the game is still very playable, but lags when opening doors. About Doom3: Jesus christ the atmosphere is tense. I've just gone past the point when the big bull/dog-type thing appears the first time.
