Doom3
Those of you who have played it, how do you like it? I think it'* pretty good and it definately scares the Shi*t outta me pretty often. My video card isn't up to par though even at 64MB because the image is kinda jerky so when people jump out it'* even scarier than normal because it'* hard to aim and shoot when the picture is jerking on you a little bit.
FOr those of you whose computers this runs perfectly good on, what are your specs? I'm running it on:
Ultra DMA 7000 RPM 200 GB HD with 90GB free
AMD Athlon XP2800+(2.1GHZ athlon speed or same as a pentium 4 2.8 GHZ)
512 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 64 MB.
If you haven't tried it yet you can download a demo off of www.download.com I'm just playing the demo right now. I wanted to make sure my computer could handle the game before I bought it. (which it can't really handle unless I upgrade to a better video card I assume.)

A Geforece 4 MX? That'* essentially a Geforce 2. The Geforce 4 TI would be much better...
Memory size isn't a huge part of determining performance in video cards anymore, all memory does is store textures, and such, your problem is the processing.
I saw a very very very very early release a year or two ago, and it was on a 9700 Pro, good lookin game.

Haven't played it yet. I don't think my computer could handle it though. We got a new graphics card ( i forget what kind). But it is usually sort of hard to play good video games. Bought the computer about two, maybe three years ago this next Christmas.

Doom3 is great... I played it hardcore for a week and beat it. I'm running an Athlon 2200 and a GeForce 4 4800 (8X AGP, 128 MB RAM, decent little card), but let me tell ya, it'* all about my GAMING CHAIR! That'* right.... Audigy 2 sound card with 5.1 surround, with the rear speakers attached to a board mounted on the back of the chair with the subwoofer bungee-strapped right underneath my butt. Half the experience of that game is the sound, and it'* best when you're fully immersed in it and the bass rumbles your bowels. It'* the only way to play Doom3, or Call of Duty for that matter. I've been very happy with it... it won't stack up to Halflife 2 though.
