Doom 3 gone Gold - August 3rd expected

Sometimes, depends really on when they get their stock.
But yeah, they'll usually try and get it to you on the release date.
Obviously massive demand will slow things down, and I think they give preference to those who preordered first.

I dont think anyone will be short of doom 3 stock tbh its not like they wont sell

it's noramally fridays they are release on

August 2nd is a bank holiday, so the chances are it will end up being the 3rd. Admittedly, Friday is normally the release date, but in the case of some major releases, vendors are asked to hold the item back until Monday while it is actually delivered on the Friday. The chances are, you'll be able to get it the same day as the UK retailers.

where does it say what the specs for the game are?

oops, never mind. i saw the thread.

bizmark

around 5 topics down called "doom3 + specs" though to save you the trouble if you have anything below 1,5 gig p4 512meg of ram and a ati 9700pro you shall not be playing

The Real B-man

wonder will there be a huge promotion at one of the GAME stores in dublin that it might open at midnight or early? probably not only do it for consoles but one hopes

Doodee

I find it hard to beluieve that you need atleast a Rad 9700 to get decent performance from your machine. When the GF3's came out did MrCarmac not say that it would work no problem on it?

tuxy

its a conspiracy :eek:

CombatCow

Well it's a good time to put my 5900 Ultra on sale...look out for it on the forsale forum soon if anyone is intrested

CC

tuxy

or maybe id software have it in so bad for ati since the leak of the beta it will run good on a gf3 but u need a radeon 9700 :P

bizmark

i dont care i have a 9800 pro

you can get 20 fps from a 9000 though so you should get nice proformance out of the 9600pro and 9700pro possible even the 9200

Eye

should be fun to see how my 64mb GF3 Ti500 holds up then

it'll probably go crazy and have a small meltdown inside the case

roll on august muhahaha!

[CrimsonGhost]

Well I'll be able to run it defo. Goddam I'm shivering in anticipation.

Bah, I'm not even going to try running this with a measly gf3 ti200 128mb. Despite my gig of ram and mighty 2.4 ghz cpu.

Curse you John Carmack! Curse your love of vertexs and bump shading! May you die in a badly rendered Atari ST game!**










**Of course this means I really love him and want to marry him and have little demon babies.

Batbat

Amp I have the same spec as you but I upgraded from the ti4200 to an ATI 9800pro and it made a huge difference, no problems running Far Cry now, although its not a good game

amp

Oh I know, I dream constantly about 9800's and 6800's and other such wonderful numbers. Then I look at the numbers in my bank account

L5

I got a p4c 2.4ghz
1024 RAM
ATI 9800 pro

Hope thats enough to run it on high settings

Batbat

I got it for 180 euro, which I thought was good value, its very powerful card

po0k

/me hugs his P3 800, 768Meg ECC, GF4 Ti4200 64Meg

TO THE DEATH!

lol. I'm sure it'll work but I've been waiting for this for so long that I really don't want to play it without all the whistles and bells and whatnot.

I've merged the two Doom3 threads as they were pretty much identical.

Although more of a HL2 boy, any idea how my system would cope with Doom 3?

Processor: 2500XP+ (overclocked to 2800)
Memory: 512MB
GFX Card: GeForce Ti4200 64MB (which can be overclocked to a Ti4600 I believe).

leeroybrown

The CPU and RAM are fine. The graphics card will run it but it being a Ti4200 and only having 64Mb, it will slow things down a bit. AFAIK, Doom3 is designed to run on cards with either 128Mb (uses some extra texture compression to fit into the 128Mb properly) or 256Mb of memory. Overclocking the card to a Ti4600 would bring it to around the minimum advised spec but it'll still be low on RAM.

Giblet

The 4200 is supposed to get more frames than the 9600 pro on lower detail!
