True. I've played FarCry with all the detail on max, and my computer runs it fine. I never had it lock up once or get choppy.

I'm still getting those pesky crashes with Doom3 though . I can't figure it out.

Maybe you should start a new thread on this. I will provide a few more valid pros and cons there if you wish.

Yes, I had to view the post up to 105 in order to read this. Hmmm.

I am going to play D3 right now! I only have 3 or 4 autosaves and not too much time under my belt. This game is too cool to wait!

Hey people, I have a really urgent question...I need to know if a GTR ATI Radeon 9200SE is going to cut it to run Doom 3....I know it's going to be close, but I'm guessing it will. Can anyone help me out? Rest of my system is ok, 480 RAM, Athlon 2200+ etc etc.

Please help, I'm in the middle of an ebay auction!!

Thanx

It will play it. May be in lower res and slow framerates but it will play it.

Dude, are you absolutely sure? I'm not too bothered about the slower framerates, i'll just lower the res or something....upgrading the system bit by bit.

Just wondered how sure you were....sorry to be a jerk, but you know how it is when you're about to win something on ebay. Thanks a lot, by the way.

http://techreport.com/etc/2004q3/doom3-midlow/

Read this...since I have not personally used this board on D3, I cannot say 100%. But there are a couple of ppl on this sight that are using the 9200 to play the game. And...in this article they used a 9000pro 64mb board to play it.

Mmm, I gave it a read....wasn't impressed by those frame rates though. Ah well, it was only intended to be a stopgap card anyway. Don't mind running the great D3 on min spec for a while.

Hey listen, thanks for the info, you really helped me out.

Glad to be of service...and welcome to TN. You could of course OC that board a bit and help it some, but alas I'm afraid it is getting a bit legacy.
Hey you asked you it would run...not how well.

I know nothing about clocking, so that's out. Thanks for the welcome. Nice to get into a message board not dominated by assy little snobby boys.

Well, I'll run it at the lowest spec, and see what happens. I'll keep you posted

Thanks again tho'

OK, so I've been thinking maybe it's not worth the time getting a 9200SE to run Doom 3 so I've been scouting around for a better card and wondered if you guys could make a suggestion? I'm looking for cost-effectiveness as much as anything else.

There's a Radeon 9600SE 128mb for £42, or would it be worth £87 (more than double) to get the non-SE version?

Or instead I could get a GeForce FX5700 (£6, FX5700SE (£52 - probably not worth the penny pinching) or a FX5600XT (£54 - don't know what XT is)

I know this is just a load of numbers, but a few recommendations at a glance would really be helping me out....Thanks!!

Never get a SE card if you are a gamer. Worst decision you could ever make. Go the right route and get a non-SE card such as that fx5600xt. That would probably be the best choice of all.

Man, you guys are so niiiiiice, been such a help, God bless you all, or Satan or Allah or A-Rod or whoever the hell it is you may pray to.

So an Fx5600Xt IS BETTER than a regular 5700? Odd. Why is it better?
