As anyone else got doom 3 for the pc?
Its gotta be the scariest game i ever played, thought i was gunna have a heartattack when some demon ripped a hole in the stairs.
If you have a fast enough machine i would recomend it to anyone. I got it to fill the gap until half life 2 is realeased and to be honest half life has got a lot to live upto.
Anyway...back to polos

So how fast a machine do you need? Or rather, how good does my video card need to be? I've been wondering if all the hype is justified.

Pentium 2.8 or higher or equivalent I think. I've got 512MB RAM, 256MB shiny fast graphics card, but "only" a 850Mhz processor, so Doom 3 is a no-go for me I'm afraid. Besides, nothing can beat CounterStrike v1.5
heh heh
Plus I'm still scared witless by AvP2 when all the Aliens pop out from walls/ceilings lol
I prefer driving games tbh - PS2 and Gran Turismo 4 for me methinks!

Ive got an athlon xp 2800, 512ddr 2700 and a geforce 3 ti 500.
I can play on ultra detail but theres the odd skip on fast paced scenes.
Plays great on medium detail though.

1.5Ghz is required. Metz isn't even a 2.8Ghz

Ive got a athlon xp 2400ghz (runs at 2Ghz) 640Mb of SDRAM and a Geforce 3 ti 200. I have the setting on high and it runs fine. I agree about the scaryness, sh*ts me up no end. This maybe because everything about the game, every little detail is designed to making it sh*t scary. Not played it for a while actually, must start again. How far has everyone got?

i've got an athlon xp 2400 with 1.25gb ram and a radeon 9800 pro
so i might look into purchasing doom 3
all i play at the moment is counter-strike online, gets very hard to stop playing sometimes
especially when you can use a microphone in-game and slag off the french players
oops no french here i hope!

http://www.megagames.com/news/html/pc/d ... ept2.shtml
I have mine on 800 x 600 resolution and high detail.
Im currently on Delta Labs - Sector 1. Its quite far into the game i think. Played it loads when i first got it.

How come? u checked the Nvidia website. I thought they were all available off there.

Downloaded what I thought were the drivers from the creative website but when I go to update them the comp doesnt recognise them as new drivers.
