    My Grandfather fought against Hitler's army, OH NOS!

    Hmmm I'm gonna upgrade my processor and check my power supply wattage, I might need to upgrade to 300 watt if it's not already.

    And then watch the id servers crumble under the pressure of thousands, if not millions of gamers pinging their servers...

    The Graphics card needs to be fully DX9.0b compliant for Doom 3 afaik. So a Geforce 4 MX will not be able to run the game at all. It's the same thing for Deus Ex 2 and (I think) PoP:SoT. So you can try out demos for them if you want. But if you are using a GeForce 4 MX the games shouldn't run. You'd definatly want something better than that though even if they did. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    That's what I thought until I read the mininial specs listed eariler in the thread with state GeForce 4 MX expressily as "mininial." Any advice for good relatively cheap cards that could play Doom 3?

    The Geforce 2 GTS/Pro is basically a GF4 MX.

In one appalling instance, you even even become privy in a tounge-in-cheek directive by arcvillian Dr. Betruger, advising hellions on the proper way to prepare virgin sacrifices.

    i bought a gforce fx 5200 a year ago for 75 dollars, it runs everything ive tried pretty dang good, and ill continue using it until i get my radeon 9800 pro 256 which i ordered off newegg a few hours ago. your best bet would be to find a computer show somewhere around you, or try newegg.com

    Newegg is good if you live in the USA, but just make sure you stay away from the fx 5200. It is DX9 compliant, but it is <i>slower</i> than a GF4MX. And has no hope at all whatsoever of running any DX9 games at a playable framerate.

    i have fx 5200 and i run dx9 games at fine framerates. they could be better and go down in some situations, but its better than i expected for one so cheap.

    As far as buying a new video card goes, just wait a few days/weeks. Very soon all the good sites (HardOCP, Anandtech, etc) will be having "what card do you need for DOOM III" articles to help you make the best decision as to what to spend your hard earned money on.

    My card will run it, but... I want to run it well... Looks like I'll be spenging my hard earned money on a new card...

    By the way, if you just can't wait until DOOM 3 is out, the <a href='http://www.ua-corp.com/' target='_blank'>Union Aerospace Corporation</a> now has a countdown timer for you.

    Leading the way to a better future, through indestructable crates!

    and for the demo, of course it won't be out before retail, they NEVER are.

    UT2k3 was in demo before retail, i believe. I think that BF1942 was, as well.

    Yep. As was AvP, AvP2, Q3, (I think) Farcry... the list goes on.

    Long live Q3Test! Man that had to be one of <b>the</b> greatest "demos" ever released. It was so fun and it was surprisingly good for a test.

    Indeed. It actually worked the first time around too, unlike Q2 test. :P


    I am still sadly disappointed Carmack broke his promise of a DOOM3Test :(
  • TequilaTequila Join Date: 2003-08-13 Member: 19660Members
    Forgot to say, one of Doom 3's 5 DM maps is called Edge2, a remake of Q2's The Edge. This makes me happy.

    I don't know what you're talking about as it was a little before my time, but if it's in Doom III it's got to be good.
