Doom III is out there! W00T!

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

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 ...

Okies, well I got a P4 2.6 with HT OC'd to 3Ghz with 1GB 400mhz ram, will it run okay u think on 1024x768 on medium? I always use omega drivers (Y) ;) Btw, thanks for the reply.

It's because pixels were state-of-the-art graphics at the time. But since people seen these graphical wonders they want bigger and better each time.

What?:huh:: A pixel is the smallest picture element of a digital image. Pixels a present on everything from the earliest digital display, to your television, to your phone, to your LCD. It has nothing to do with quality of graphics.

and I understand that, but it doesnt mean that a game cant be enjoyed at lesser resolutions, people need to stop beign so close minded about it

Dude :no:

Go play the original Doom, you can actually SEE the pixels!

In newer games you can't see them they are ( Mostly ) always invisible to the naked eye.

Thats what i meant!

Sanct: I completely agree.

[rollinup]

I was just a kid when I played the original doom and it scared the hell out of me :p now when I play it I just laugh because it looks so fake. :p

You are not seeing individual pixels, they are being enlarged to represent the lower resolution.

[Hankyone]

more pixels better quality

[DoNuTs]

Yes, but you know what i mean ....

[sanctified Veteran]

Yes, but you know what i mean ....

maybe I should have said sprites instead of pixels to make my point :unsure::

[DoNuTs]

Let's just call thw whole thing off ;) :p

Yep (Y)

[BananaMan]

more pixels better quality

More pixels equals more detail. Higher resolution means better quality, which is yeah, just more pixels. Still, I think my point is valid. The pixels themselves aren't related to quality, it's how they are displayed which matters.

Oh okay. You got your terminology wrong.

i know u guys will think im talking bs...

i have just spent 2 hours playing it at 1024x748 ULTRA detail with all advanced stuff turned on....on my GF4 ti4600 and got fps between 8 and 35 and it was still fun to play :o

anyone else getting just a blank screen when trying to view screenshots? :crazy:

edit: here's a pic with prntscrn showing the fps in moderate action...on ultra detail on a 4600...

[Leo Natan]

Is there a big difference between High and Ultra?

[Neolink]

ultra halts for about half a second when you change weapons, to me it doesnt look any different to high though

[Leo Natan]

I think it has something to do with the Specular Maps not compressed, and it's 150% of High. I'm not sure, though.

[Leo Natan]

Oh, and I wanted to ask, is the famous bathroom scene in the final game, or was it just for engine demonstration?
