| 256167 | 2004-07-28 10:30:00 | Doom3 requires a 512mb video card to play in ulta high mode,they won't be on the market till near the end of the year,they will be super expensive and in short supply,so you may as well stop looking to the future and look at the present,and that means the 9800pro,excellent price and bucketloads of power,No card in exsistence will play doom3 at its highest levels...all cards on the market will play doom3 at some level,so match your budget up with whats available and make a purchase. Aside from that,There are 2 excellent threads at Madonion about doom3 system specs Here (discuss.futuremark.com) and here (discuss.futuremark.com) In other worrds,Buy the best that fits your budget. But not an g4mx,These people are living in fantasy land. |

| 256168 | 2004-07-28 11:20:00 | > Wow that was a great contribution to the discussion. Honestly would you play DOOM3 on a MX440? I wouldnt even play BF1942 or Halo on a MX440 let alone a game based on a engine far far superior to anything on the market already (with the exception of Farcry, although id like to see you play farcry on a MX440). Quote from original post: "I want to build a PC that can play Doom3" The MX440 will play it! :p Would I play Doom3 on a MX440? No. I upgraded and wouldn't go back now. In saying that, my MX440 played Far Cry, BF-V, BF1942, Halo and anything else I threw at it with no problems at 1024x768x32 low details. It was actually pretty good, but you miss out on a lot of details like birds, fish etc in Far Cry. So yes, it has been done. My point was that even a MX440 can play it, who cares how useful it was to the discussion. [Edited by: admin on Jul 30, 2004 8:24 AM] |

| 256170 | 2004-07-28 11:37:00 | Bah,there is always something on the horozin that will give a small increase in performance,that will be in short supply and expensive. And when its available in large numbers at a realistic price then once again there will be some new tech on the horizen big on hype that will be expensive,hard to get...... |

| 256171 | 2004-07-28 11:45:00 | Dude PCI-E is not a small increase in performance is 8x to 16x | Gods-Hitman (1419) | ||
| 256172 | 2004-07-28 11:51:00 | Current cards on the market don't make any use of 8xagp as it is,how is switching to pci going to make the cards faster? Simple,it does nothing untill the cards are developed that can make use of the extra bandwidth,not the generation,not next but probally the generation after that you will find the very top end cards running faster on the PCIe slot,by then any mobo bought in the next 6 months to a year is redundent anyway. As it is all pcie cards on the market or due to come on the market are the exact same cards as the agp equilvent,just with a bridge on them to go into another slot,so far they either have the exact same or slower performance then the same card on the agp slot. So Dude yourself And Rock n Roll over. |
