3DMark03 Score

[pirred908]

I got a score of 4915 on 3DMark03. Should I be able to run Doom 3 nicely?

What graphics card do you have?
What is the rest of the system?
Could you please be more vague?
What monitor do you have?
Have you gone to www.hardocp.com yet?

Won't know for sure 'til it comes out but from what I surmise it looks like you can.

I'm running a 9800(non-pro), athlon xp mobile 2500+, 512mb of mushkin pc3500 ram, abit nf7-s a.k.a. an7 mobo, 120 gig seagate harddrive 8mb cache, anything else I need to mention? I have a 21" Sony Trinitron monitor.

Also, I will be adding another stick of that same ram to make it dual-channel.

Take a look at the HardOCP doom 3 system spec page.

It will play. That vid card may hold you back a little bit. But if you are content w/ medium settings then it will be fine.

I have the CPU overclocked to 2.03 ghz. I know that's not near the potential of that processor, but I'm useing an Aquarius II water-cooling system, which isn't all that great. I'm aleady at 55 degreess celcius under load. I'm afraid to go any higher. Also I don't know about overclocking my video card because it doesn't have "auto turn off" if it over heats like my cpu does.

That score looks about right for that system. Did you make sure to turn off AA/AF?

Yes. Thank you.

you'll be able to play the game at medium quality wtih 1024x768 resolution.

Depends on your definition of nicely. I had a 9800 pro, sold it and have a BFG 6800 GT now so I can play D3 to my definition of "nicely." I suggest others do the same;IMHO.

Agree with Mik3y, 4915 score would go with medium settings at 1024. Those folks pulling 10,000+ score will do very well with D3.

I agree with Mik3y as well. Even though 3dmark isn't a game and isn't accurate to what you may experience, however I can tell by that score given you are running a main stream video card. And based on the hardocp's article, http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0, you'll be running around 1024x768 with medium quality. And they will explain that the game looks and plays beautifully at those settings.
