you forgot to mention your framerate :smile:

on a serious note, i would like to take the opportunity to ask if its normal that with these specs:

AMD barton 2500+ (~1.83Ghz)

768 MB ram @ 333Mhz (1:1 with fsb cpu)

GF Ti4200 , driver: 61.77 (also tried: 43.51, 44.03, 44.67, 71.20)

asus A7V8X-X mobo

is it normal that i get 35fps in 640x400 , and 27fps in 800x600 in DOOM 3 (timedemo) ? the specular, shadows and bumpmaps are on cause otherwise its not D3 :/

and would buying a GF 6800GT make it possible to run +-50fps in 800x600 ?

if someone can give some opinions, thx

everything high; except for materials(only 128vidRAM:( ) l over 100 fps inside hallways or other buildings, lowest it went the whoel game was around 50 in the level sandtrap with lots of antlions and a big wide open beach. averages around 80 though with no slow downs, ussually.

3000XP Barton
9600XT 256Mb DDR
1024Mb 3200 DDR

Its all at 333Mhz, but my ram is capable of 400Mhz so I'm gunna clock up my whole system to 400Mhz- its perfectly stable like that.

Btw that problem Neural scan- I'd say a combo of an uber s**t motherboard (asus ones are s**t, go for Abit) and a wierd Ram ammount. People may disagree with me here, but I know for a fact that using 2 chips of Ram which have different anything causes troubles nowadays. Back in the day of SD ram it was all fine, but DDR is a fussy bitch. Also if you upgrade get a 9600XT or 9800XT, they are very good cards, never any trouble and you can flick between OpenGL and D3D.

I've heard lots of people saying that asus are s**t, but lots of asus owners say the complete opposite. I have an A7V8X-X, and had no probs, it can run my 2500+ at 3200+ speeds easily.

im not really into oc, but is it really that easy to run a 2500+ at 3200+ speed ??

if you've got doom3, what are your fps?

and myrk; is it easy to run a cpu wich is designed to have 333fsb, at 400fsb ?

You only do it if your CPU isn't cracked (AMD chips need to be unlocked to be OC'd) so you up the clock speed of the whole system. Only advised for Barton cores really, and only if your RAM can take higher speeds and if your motherboard has a PCI lock.

Through experience, I definatly recommend at least 512mb of RAM. For optimal performance, 1024mb is better. Since you will not get any frame lag a few seconds after each level load.

I have a 9800pro which can run everything on normal settings quite well too. And I think Im on 800*600. Or 1024*768. Cant remember :biggrin:

And I have a XP2500, although Im sure the game would load faster with a better CPU, but I dont mind it at all.

You only do it if your CPU isn't cracked (AMD chips need to be
unlocked to be OC'd) so you up the clock speed of the whole system.
Only advised for Barton cores really, and only if your RAM can take
higher speeds and if your motherboard has a PCI lock.
No, for the Barton core at 2500+ the default FSB is 166...but it can
support up to 200 stock (It's the same chip as the 3200+ I believe). So if you change the bus speed (which isn't locked)
you automagically go from a 2500+ (1.83GHz) to 3200+ (2.2GHz). You'll
almost always get better performance going the bus increase route
rather than multiplier. It can go higher than 200, but after that amount of increase, the multiplier becomes the safer route.
