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 ...

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'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake
