Posted August 19, 200420 yr I bought Doom III tonight and thought my specs could run Doom III on some fairly decent graphics with a smooth picture. After scanning with the Doom III optimizing program, I kept the program running on Medium Graphics with a 800 x 600 screen and it is still choppy. All of the movies and dialogue are really slow and so is the game itself. The specs are as follows: Pentium 2.6 GHz 512MB Ram Radeon 9700 Graphics Card 120 GB Hard Drive I dont really see why this is not working as it should. I even tried on Low Quality settings with a 640 x 480 screen and it still runs like shit. All my programs are turned off and I have plenty of space to run this program. What should I do?
August 19, 200420 yr Your gonna get nuked in doom 3, if you have anything with "ATI" in it's name in your hardware list....................
August 20, 200420 yr it should work fine dude, a friend of mine has about the same specs. same vid card, cpu and mem... and he plays med quality with 1024x768 with out lag. i think u should goto http://www.ati.com and get the latest drivers, if u already have them, something els is fuked up. but your hardware shud be fine.
August 23, 200420 yr yeh, ur hardware is good enough.. u just need to get newest drivers, and what's also important is to tweak the shit outta windows. if u totaly tweak it correctly u should get like twice as good results as u did b4 search google for a good tweaking guide (I aint got the time nor motivation to go and write a whole fucking guide lol)
August 25, 200420 yr Why you would spend the time tweaking Windows to play such an overrated game is beyond me. :rolleyes:
January 5, 200520 yr err you are correct. I dont even got Doom III.. cuz it sux. anyway I just like to keep my comp running @ max speed with minimal cpu/ddr loss from stupid useless processes. It helps alot for playing UT2004 @ max everything :gaysex: . anyway if any of u guys still play ut2004, click this link: sweet ass UT2004 server that's my favourite server :fingersx:
January 5, 200520 yr Pentium 2.6 GHz 512MB Ram Radeon 9700 Graphics Card 120 GB Hard Drive Wow. Before I went to Nvidia and got a 6800 Ultra, I had a 9600SE that I could run on high at 1280x1024 with no choppiness :D
