258715 2004-08-06 01:22:00 Just thought I'd start a new thread... this one is purely for timedemo, etc. Also, if you read this (www.forumplanet.com) article, it suggests a tweak to increase performance in Doom 3.

I'll be testing tonight with default and then with the config tweak... will be interesting to see how it handles! :)

Lo.

258717 2004-08-06 01:28:00 and for some strange reason my laptop won't run the time demo. metla (154)
258718 2004-08-06 01:28:00 doh,link worked this time. metla (154)
258719 2004-08-06 01:56:00 Alrighty.

Specs.

Asus laptop
2800-m
9600pro Mobile chipset
512mb ram


Results.

Time demo runs like treacle and then system locks up.


Not a happy camper,i wonder if Asus are going to release new video drivers.

258720 2004-08-06 02:17:00 I just read up to #60 and got bored of the speculation.....

Does anybody know if that tweak does anything or not?

258721 2004-08-06 03:51:00 I HAVE BEEN DOOMIFIED!!!

whoa....i say whoa!!!

**** my pants.

what a game,was right on the edge of my seat,just surviving in the dark as hell's demons spewed forth,only to have one cave my head in with a pipe wrench.

The desktop i was using,AMD 2800,768m,nforce2,9600 XTG (one of the models with the higher clockspeed) ran it smooth as silk with the right settings,But does not do the game justice,not in any way.It asks for so much more to blaze as it should.

Looks like im going to have to build myself a doominator,I wonder if it can be submitted to the magazine for a review?....hint hint.

258722 2004-08-06 04:04:00 nah Met . . . you were just playing it @ 640 x 480 with no gamma :P that'd look scary on any pc/laptop .

although I've read on another site that the game seems tied to both GPU and CPU with different angles on both - when you look at the numbers anyway .

Is this truely the first game to get people to ugrade hardware just to play a game?

PC World . nz owes it to the readership to really "test" the game with whats around here in NZ - not some P4 EE with an ( well I was thinking a X800 ) but well it works "best" with the latest Nvidia . . . .

ME? I'd start with an FX53 . . . .

I'd like to see the "Doominator" go up against some kind of "creation" PC World . nz can do - no cheating STS :D

258723 2004-08-06 04:19:00 Just letting you guys know, if it gets too dark for you, bring the console down and type "r_gamma 1.2"

Generally 1.2 - 1.4 will be good, but any higher will ruin the effect of the game...

Lo.

258724 2004-08-06 04:20:00 I would gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon before i played any game at less then 1024x768.

Ok,thats a bit extreme,i would use a blunt stick.
