Ok guys......I have just completed a 20 hour doom 3 stint and beat the game....wOOhOO...this game freaken r0cks ass....I love a the graphics and the storyline is k00ll......and i love the spine tingling freaky horror theme, got me squirmin a few times I tell ya......but heres why I'm starting this thread.......I wanna see some time demo results for us lower end card users...I'm gonna say 9700 pro and down only....nothing higher.

I got these in timedemo.
1024x768 High Detail 4xAA 8xAF (Quality)
mipmap - quality
Texture Preference - quality
Shadows off (I know it sucks...but this is a 9700pro now...lol)
36.0fps ran it 6 times and averaged them

1024x768 High Detail 4xAA 8xAF (Performance)
mipmap =performance
Texture Preference = performance
Shadows off
45.3fps ran it 6 times and averaged them.

These were run on the first system in my sig only the radeon is OC'd to 351core/337.5mem

Not too shabby for a 3 year old card huh?
Come on, lets see em guys, show me your results!
 
Your scores look typical. Using your settings:

1024x768 High Detail 4xAA 8xAF (Quality)
mipmap - quality
Texture Preference - quality
Shadows off

...I get 40.1 fps on a 9800pro. So 36.0 fps sounds about right for a 9700pro.

Hm. Shadows off takes a lot away from the game. AA doesn't add much though... so I think you should turn the AA down a lil bit and turn shadows on.

I mean I'm running 800x600 high 2xaa shadows on and it's chugging along @ 31fps timedemo1.
 
Here's my current sys

PIV 2.8ghz
Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard (i875)
1GB Kingston Hyper X PC3200
Gainward 6800GT (Had Radeon 9700 Pro AIW until yesterday)
2x80GB W.Digital HDD's in RAID 0
misc optical drives
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum

Stock settings for machine as far as ATI quality settings are concerned. The DoomConfig tweaks were done prior to benchmarking.

Here are my Benchy's with 9700 Pro AIW before I upgraded

Mr.Dearthian
 
Quality High:
800*600 = 55,6
1024*768 = 41,9
1280*1024 = 28,6

Quality Ultra High:
800*600 = 47,5
1024*768 = 34,1
1280*1024 = 23,7

no AA
AF only from the qualitysetting from in game
all benches with all advanced option on
V-sync off

Hardware:
P4 2,66@3,50
Radeon 9700@360core/ 351Ram
2*512MB Ram

but did the Radeon 9700 didn´t come out 2002? Okay 2 or 3 years isn´t so much diffrence in time for GPU´s. (simply OLD)

I'm not sure about my benchmarks, but all I can say is that with my 9700Pro I can play Doom 3 at high detail settings, 1024x768 res.

that i also do.
i tried Ultra@1024 but in some situations this was simply to heavy for the 9700@360/350.
but did somebody has an idea how i can play on 1280 with high quality :confused:
it´s because i have a 17" TFT, 1024 already looks quite good (really good interpolation), but 1280 simply looks really amazing!!
 
i enjoyed finishin the game with 9500@9700(360/285 fitted zalman, 9800bios). got 45/40fps on 1024x768 med/high (quality) with xp3200+.
but i really need a faster card to play at higher res.. was gonna get 9800pro but it wont do the job, so looks like i need 6800nu..

Theres a few consol tweaks u can try...but going that high res on a low card is still gonna look bad....u would have to turn off shadows and specular to get playable frame rates...then your loosing half the game by killing the visual effects
