No, but I bet the slideshow mode would be great as a screensaver.

Flamebait or stupidity? If you're going to post neffing trash like this, do it in one of the 30+ existing D3 threads.

 

[brtspears2]

I tried on an original Radeon. It doesn't even load.

its a legit question actually, i just remember the days of old where i had a friend running quake 3 at the lowest res possible on a voodoo1/p166mmx...it barely ran...but it ran nevertheless.
im sick of seeing ultra hi res shots of doom.i wanna see some letter box ass festing shots.
*going to try in on a p2-450 and tnt2U tommorow

its good for a few laughs!
id be interested to see what the absolute lowest spec attainable is while keeping the game playable

 

[spaceman]

anyone?

 

[vss1980]

Tried Celeron 700 and i810 for a laugh...... won't even load...... probably cos the intel graphics are rubbish.

 

[Corey0808]

I run it at 800x600 at Medium Quality on my GheTTo GF3 Ti 200

 

[aswedc]

What the hell?

Doom 3 won't even run on my Radeon 9200 with everything on low at 640x480 and you want to run it on a Banshee?

 

[SirPsycho]

I still have a pair of Voodoo2's upstairs that I could hook up in SLI mode... I know there are still OpenGL drivers available for them... heh.

1.5 FPS on a Radeon 7500 64meg DDR AGP4x with a Barton 2800+ and 512 Kingston 400DDR.

Catalyst 4.9 and DirectX 9.0C.

 

[Pocatello]

I have a GeForce DDR with one of my older computer, I'm going to try Doom III on it .

 

[manly]

How would it (or Q3) run without an OpenGL ICD?

nahh, I think the image would burn in because of the bad framerate

The lowest path is the NV10 path for the orginal GeForce series of cards. The lowest Radeon path requires a minimum of a Radeon 9000.

Anything less and the game won't physically run.

It will run fine on a Radeon 8500.

It 'physically' runs on my Radeon 7500, just a 1.5FPS. Dont spread mis-information.

It wouldnt run. Try running either game on a fresh install of Windows XP with the default drivers for which ever card you have (ATI or nVidia). I know for sure you'd get a "Could not load OpenGL sub-system" error in Q3. I haven't seen the error in Doom3.

Windows XP does not ship with OpenGL support. You need 3rd party drivers to add support.

Has anyone got it to run on a laptop?

The game runs on High Quality like a dream on my Dell 8600 with my 1.4 Centrino/7200rpm hard drive/512RAM/ATI 9600 Turbo Pro.

The only part that sucks is that Doom 3 doesn't support widescreen resolutions for my 15.4 WUXGA screen. It still looks good at 1024x768, but in an age where most games released support widescreen, I think ID really dropped the ball.

Dell Radeon VE 16MB AGP gets me 8.4 fps in timedemo on my XP 3200+. Rock on. I need to try it out on my 2.2GHz laptop. I'm thinking I've got a 64MB card in it(work laptop).

 

[Rage187]

wont load on a voodoo 3

I've had quake3 running across 3 monitors in one big desktop. Something like 3072x728 or something like that.

Didn't like it, but it was possible.

You probably just have to tell it what custom display settings you want from the command line at startup.

Something like

doom3.exe -hres=xxxx -Vres=xxxx

or something like that. I don't remember the commands anymore.

 

[railer]

So a no-go on my neph's radeon 32 megger aye?

How bout a GF2MX 64 meg? That outta play.

I know my Radeon 8500 will suffice.

I'm really curious about the lappy: P4 2.66 w 32 meg 5200. I'll post back ONCE I GET THE FRIGGIN GAME!

I was able to get Doom 3 running on an Athlon 700 with 256 MB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 8500. Amusingly, the image quality looks nicer than the GeForce 4 Ti4200 on my REAL gaming computer, but it chops along at about 10 FPS on even the lowest settings.
