I don't have "problems" running ANY game on my system. And we were discussing DooM3 hardware performance, not UT2004. Try to pay attention
Quote: usually well above the 70+ FPS mark... so our buddy with the mad crazy system not having the game run good at all either needs to lower their standards some and maybe consideder looking unto some updated drivers for his/her card to start off with...
Yes, maybe I should somehow find a better driver than the Catalyst 4.9BETA driver that ATI released to address DooM3 performance issues with ATI Products... Yes, Catalyst 4.7 was the last OFFICIALLY released Catalyst Driver.
Idiot.
Quote: If that dosent help than try buying the pentium 8 processor... ive heard that it really kicks the P4's but.
For the vid card options go with either - Ge-Force FX 5700 128mb... dont get an MX card they suck - Radeon 9600XT 128 mb
Both cards are around 150 bucks.... so its prefrence after that... or which one looks cooler in your opinion. Look up some benchmarks and compare cards that are closley priced, and see which ones better for the price.
Both cards suck for DooM3. You need 256MB of texture memory on board. I'm tired of repeating this.
