257963 2004-08-06 00:32:00 Well, just to be a masochist I tried it on my work P4 2GHz, 768MB RAM and GF4 MX420 64MB video card. I had to use low settings and 640 x 480. Well, I guess if that was all you had and you really wanted to play Doom you could actually do it, but I doubt you'd enjoy it -- the frame rate is just not there. That said, I was impressed with how good it managed to look at good old 640 x 480. But to play it that way...... nah. Biggles (121)

257966 2004-08-06 00:49:00 Woot - 9.9fps at 640 x 480. Antialising off, but other advanced options on.

Scotty just ran it on a P4 3.6Gz Extreme Edition, running on Intel 925 chipset, 1GB 533DDR2 RAM, Radeon X800XTvideo card (PCI express). The demo1 ran at 1600 x 1200, High settings and got 75FPS. Needless to say it looks gorgeous on that rig .....

257967 2004-08-06 00:53:00 Damn,Thats seriously more powerful then the best rig i have set up..... metla (154)
257968 2004-08-06 00:53:00 Guys, post you system specs and demo1 FPS. To run the demo, access the console by typing ctrl alt ~ then type: timedemo demo1

Run the demo through twice. The first time through will be slower than the second (some caching obviously takes place).

257969 2004-08-06 01:00:00 My P4 will own all your base!!

I will run it tonight after work and post back... :D

Lo.

Doesn't somebody have a new rig to tell the team about, or are the specs about to change again? ;)
