DOOM 3

is it really with high system requirements as I hear?Could someone tell me?And how will go on this PC:

AMD Athlon XP Barton 2600+ @ 3500+ FSB:450Mhz
EPOX 8RDA+
2x256MB DDR450
Ati Radeon 9200 64MB
HDD 80GB Western Digital

And how it will handle?

You can write me on my e-mail too: itsomania@abv.bg

I dont think it will even play on your system mate, you need a Direct X 9 compatible graphics card, such as the Radeon 9500 and upwards from that (9600Xt,9700,9800) - or a Geforce Fx series card (but not the Fx 5200)

hmmm...this game is sth that will make many ppl buy a new system or at least upgrade get a better gfx card and I guess u'll do fine

Let's just say that some people have been able to run the leak on DirectX 8.1 compatible card with shaders. So my guess it that you might be able to play it, but not with all the graphics you want. There is also that Apple presentation that ran Doom III on the Geforce 3 a couple years back. I'm guessing that it would work fine on a Radeon 9200.

True, i think you need Smartshader v 1.1 or higher to be able to run Doom 3, but remember, its gonna be mainly Dx9 - so its advisable to buy a Dx9 card to see the game in all its glory

I believe you should consider an upgrade :x

I actually played the beta 2.0 version of DOOM3 with AMD 2500 (overclocked to 2.1 ghz-3100) 512 kb ram-382 mhz and RADEON 9200. I played between 10 - 30 fps with every graphic option open. (there was no high detail option) if you consider that my graphic card sucks, I think we can play the game smoothly with a 9600xt - if it is not delayed -

already made me, but 1 problem though the damn DOOM3 and HL2 just wont come out :rant:
:/

Hi,
{new here} I just saw a post that says doom 3 needs a dx9 compatiable card. So why cant you use a fx5200 its dx9 compatiable?..and Ive overclocked it to 300 3d clock and 500 core clock surely this will work. Also would you recommend updating to 1gb ram from 512mb would it make a big difference in my gaming? Also does 8x agp actually help in anyway?




AMD 2000+
512mb RAM pc2100
GeForce FX 5200 128
ASRock K7S8X
400w PSU

THAT IS BS!!!! WTF1?

They just trying to scare you! i played HL2 alpha with my comp - the fx card (had gforce mx200) and it worked NICE! not perfect but playable as f**k! so im f**king sure its gonan work with my fx5200 NP!

Having seid that im sure doom will work fine aswell! if not, im gonna smack that fat d00d who made the game! (hes fat right?)
