The difference is at most two FPS on a 9800pro 128MB between Ultra and High, the difference between Low and Ultra is less than 6 FPS! There isnt any need to play in Medium or High if you have a 9800pro or GF5900 (i guess, havent tried it). I used the doom3 timedeo on two computers.. Here are the results from one of them (the comp was AMD): 1024x768. Timedemo demo1 42 FPS Ultra 44 FPS High 45 FPS Medium CPU P4 2.6GHz@3.25GHz RAM:2x512MB Samsung PC-400 DDR (Dual) Mobo: Abit IS7-E GFX:Club3D 9800PRO@398/354MHz Audio:Soundtrack Audio DSP24 The results from the AMD XP3000+ was similar but around 2 FPS better on all tests.

#55619 Posted on: 08/02/2004 05:43 PM So i seriously dont know what all the upgrade fuss is about, all your really need for this game to look amazing is a FX 5700 Ultra minimum to run at High Quality / 1024x768 and to play well above 30fps. Im going to try 2x AA.

#55622 Posted on: 08/02/2004 07:16 PM yes, i agree. The settings are a bit old fashioned. I must admit i was hoping for a bit more in the way of settings to adjust. Runs fine on my 9800xt on max with TA switched on. amd 51-fx 1024mb 3200,sk8v,uan drivers
