Doom III and Graphics

Since I have a ti4200 my game runs like crap

. I was thinking about upgrading, im willing to spend $200-$250. I was wondering what video card do you all have and are you satisfied how its running Doom III.

Get a 9800 Pro, those are right in your range.

I have a 9800pro, but my cpu is a amd 1900 or 1.6 and 1 gig of ram iran the game at medium and it got ugly with lots of action and wasn't so great with overall so vid card won't do much if you cpu isn't up there as well. in fack i ran the game at the same settings on my work pc which has p4 2.8 and my old 8500 AIW and only 768MB and it runs better then my home PC so in short CPU makes more diffrence then vid in my case

I cannot believe the graphics! The detail in the faces of the characters in the cinematics is great. I just started the game so the scene I am talking about is the one with the dude with one eye blind talking to the dude in the sunglasses and beard. Great detail!
I am running p4 2.6 with ATI radeon 9600 XT 128 mb. I have 1 gig of RAM.
I am running the game with 1024 x 768 resolution on medium setting and it is fine. Runs real smooth.

Im currently running p4 2.4ghz 768mb DDR. will I see a tremendous increase in graphics from my ti4200?

I run mine at 800x600 on high. Although I could run it at 1024x768 with no problems

Must be a Philly thing. Only difference is I'm running a 9800pro and I have two gigs of RAM. Haven't tried maxing the settings out yet but even without a restart after I first installed I had no stuttering at all. Smooth as silk.

I have no problems running it at 800x600 on medium video, but when I go up at all my flashlight doesn't work. Since the technology for nightvision goggles apparently will be lost between now and the 22nd century, this is a problem

Oh yeah: 9800pro, 1 GB RAM, and a 2.5 Ghz CPU

by **Sewer-Urchin** » Fri Aug 06, 2004 9:29 am

Ok...now this is just wierd. I'm currently at the start of the Communications mission and no matter what video settings I try, my flashlight doesn't work. I can increase my settings like I said in my last post and if I load a game before that it works fine. Anyone else have trouble at that place?

Works great for me on medium settings!

well in your case I guess the graphics card is holding you back. Just want let you know in case you had a slower CPU like me. I'm not sure how much an increase you will get but i'm pretty sure you will see an improvement
