Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

Didn't the engine they used for Battle of Proxycon seem like some kind of unbelievably advanced version of Doom 3's engine, or maybe Unreal 3? It looked insane, considering there was also stuff going on in space and everything. I got good preformance from that part of the test at 800x600, and it looked amazing.

I have a fear in my heart that Battle Of Proxycon is a mirror of Doom 3's performance. :wacko:

12 fps! wow! :pinch:

Jesus christ, how did you get 12k 3DMarks from 3Dmark03? I have 2.4 ghz P4, Radeon 9800XT 256 mg., and a gig of RDRAM and I got a little over 6000. You got double my score, and your computer is only better in the CPU and a slightly better video card.. WTF?

the GT makes a big diff. i'm getting 12600 with mine. it's not a slightly better card. it's double the performance of your 9800xt

Donuts: oops i missed that :blush:

No, it's not. Doom 3 has already been proven to work flawlessly on computers like yours or mine. It was a different engine, something much more advanced than Doom 3 since it had spaceships outside landing and deploying troops, I don't think it was meant for an actual video game. Don't worry..

I wonder what nvidia drivers work best for this game. Anyone know who's played it on a nvidia card?

*Hopes the 5600 works alright*

AMD 2200+, GeForceFX5600 ... ran it on 800x600 with medium settings, game ran perfectly, very smoothly, really good frame rate, I can definately increase the resolution to 1024 and probably the graphics quality too ... i'm using the latest nVidia drivers off the site ... you'd probably get better results with the omega version ...

:yes: Dear god, I hope so.

This game is all hype, IMO. I tried it. Sure it looks nice, but besides that, its nothing fan-****ing-tastic. I am guessing you have to be some huge DOOM fan to get into it.

You have to love blowing the **** out of demons to like it.

It's also mostly just playing to get the big reward- getting to the last stage of the game, in hell, where you probably end up facing the Cyberdemon. I can't wait for that.

I just looked at the Sunday ads in the news paper and the BestBuy ad said that it would be available August 11!! Are they out of their mind?? Just release it already! :angry: :angry: :angry:

I saw that as well :crazy: . I'll be there on Tuesday just to see if they're selling it or not.

i know our local sam's club (i work there) has doom 3 listed as coming in on the 5th, but that is often incorrect.

info from hardocp: some people have managed to already purchase copies from best buys, though an email was sent out to best buys that they can no longer sell any until the 3rd.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
