lil gator. What does your mobile 64 @ 2.56ghz get in it??

[LilGator]

haven't tried, it's not set up atm :D

i get 13fps with my g4mx @1024x768 and high details :D

edit: and 17fps in 800x600, wich is the setting im playing the game with. fps drop down to 8fps in big rooms with many monsters sometimes where it gets a bit laggy, but most of the time im at 20fps and in small rooms and corridors i even get around 35fps average, really nice for my lil g4mx :D

[Cow2kie]

turning off motionblurr just gave me a nice boost. g_doublevision 0 It gave me like 8 more fps in the timedemo.

I run @ 640 w/ highquality. I get 76.9 @ those settings

[saaya]

whats the sence in setting it to high quality and then disabling some of the quality features again? :P

because i really dont like that feature.. it just makes the screen blurr and double when you get shot.. that doesnt look cool to me.. so i disable it and it also gives a boost in average fps. :)

It is what its cracked up to be. Its really spooky singleplayer and the multiplayer is pretty fun as well.

hmmmmm

if you ask me, no!

its still a nice game though, dont get me wrong!
but after having played halo and far cry etc theres not really anything new eyecandy wise...


doom3= half life1 + rtcw (the last levels in the x-labs) alien vs predator2 + halo (the last levels) +some new things

story is very half life1 like, and also reminded me a bit of halo (the drone part and masses of zombies) and a lot of rtcw (zombies and demons)

if you liked rtcw, halo, half life1 your gonna like this game as well, and even though it gets a bit boring to to keep sloughtering those masses of monsters sometimes during the game, and the story is a bit weird and unrealistic (demons have a dna structure :stick: , some demons have machines integrated into their bodies (???), enemies appear out of nowhere (why do they need the portal to hell the scientists opened then?) and the whole "scientists open a portal to hell story" in general is just ridiculous :rolleyes: ) , it IS definately worth to play the game!!!


dx 9.0x gave me 0.4fps more in 800x600! thats a 5% boost!

[Cow2kie]

IMO I think doom3 looks a lot better than farcry. :( The sounds/lighting just makes it fun to play.

[LilGator]

What would you guys suggest for a Radeon 8500 system ? :D

[Cow2kie]

suggest as in what? i'd suggest use one of your 9800pros ;)

[saaya]

YAY! was running 43.55 drivers before, now i switched to 61.77 and got a huge fps boost!

19.8fps in 800x600 high detail timedemo1 now!

before i had 17.4fps, thats more than a 10% boost!


about doom3...yes it looks better than far cry, at least atm, with patch 1.3 far cry will look a lot better. (than far cry looks now, not a lot better than doom3!)

anyways, other reasons additional to those i alredy mentioned why doom3 sux imo:

*almost no person/creature has hair, theyre all bald... this really distracted me

*model diversity: there are 2 maybe 3 different types of yombies throughout the entire game! in far cry almost every enemy is weiring a different combination of shirt, pants, boots etc, and they have dozens and dozens of different faces!

*enemy diversity: there are only around 10 different enemies.... thats a joke!

*arrangement of enemies: zombie zombie zombie limb limb zombie zombie zombie limb limp zombie limb limb limb limb limb limb limb limb.... IT JUST GETS BORING!

yeah walking around a corner and getting suprised by a zombie or limp is cool, but it gets annoying when it happens at every second corner... :rolleyes:

Might wanna try doing this (http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14874) if you have a DX9 level ATI card.
