I run Doom 3 on a-
P4 2.8Ghz
1GB RAM
ATI 256MB 9800 Pro
I tried it at 1024x768 at High Detail.. no AA as its a bit slow. And timedemo gets me about 35fps.
So is that extra 0.2 GHZ of processor power somehow enough to compensate for half the video memory AND get you a third more FPS than my set-up (which is with Cat 4.8, DX9.0c, freshly defragged system, shader tweak, etc etc)??????? I believe the phrase "WTF?!" is most appropriate here...

I dunno if it makes any difference, my 3GHz is a HyperThreading CPU. Dunno if your 2.8GHz is and dunno if HT makes that big of a difference in Doom 3?
A few other things, I'm using the 4.7 Catalyst drivers. But after a reading this on another forum I tried it, you can take the 4.9 beta OpenGL driver from ATI and put it in your Doom 3 folder. It will load this instead of the
.dll in your system folder. Also using a shader tweak, don't remember what I changed in the file so just posted the file below.
Put this in- \Doom 3\base\glprogs\

ATI Catalyst v4.9 beta OpenGL driver:

Also using the Image Cache tweak:
seta image_cacheMegs "256"
seta image_cacheMinK "32768"
seta image_useCache "1"

Maybe your 256mb 9800pro has the 128bit memory controller instead of the 256bit which is on most of the 128mb cards? Or something.

I'm running Doom3 on a Crayfish 9000 XJ7 with a Moron core, eleven joules of ROM, dual overhead digicams and a seventeen button phaser mouse. I usually get about 35fps. It's got a hundred and four gigaflops in it already but I think I need to buy more.

That rig should see you through Bees III alright (I'm running it on a similar setup btw). No idea how it runs Doom3 though...

Amazing.
This may interest some of you, but I've uploaded the original Coriolis Force design document for your perusal and subsequent edification.

Please don't sell it to Ion Storm.

what instills me with a greater sense of pity; the never-to-be of Coriolis Force, or the 'tache on that driver's licence.

How many successful mods have been led by non-coders?
(and please nonentity, silence that little witticism, it's a serious point)

If you consider Soul Of Evil a successful mod, then one. I'd describe it as a mission pack more accurately than a mod though, as it doesn't alter the basic gameplay.

While he tried to adapt the level design to the new game (so that it wasn't a direct port complete with the triangular stairs and whatnot) he seemed to not really notice during his undoubtedly intensive playtesting phase that a pistol and 30 bullets will not kill 4 imps at a time.

Whilst I would agree, perhaps, with the Skip it comment, I didn't have a problem finishing the map. I assume you are alluding to difficulty/whatever, you can mow them imps down quite successfully with the old chainsaw :) and you do get a shotgun.
But allas, it isn't very interesting, it does occupy a couple of minutes of your time, but that time could probably be spent better elsewhere. I was expecting more from the author, having made some good Quake III stuff etc, oh well.
I most likely will skip any future re-makes, unless there is some compelling reason to try them. Bring on the original custom goodness.
Haha
