So how many others are buying new hardware for Doom 3?

[Chu]

I'm upgrading my ti4200 to a Radeon 9800 Pro in hopes that I can get playable at 1200x1600 (the native res of my monitor). Also, the fact that Best Buy has them for $179 after rebate and BEFORE a $10 coupon just makes it too good to resist.

I would if I could afford it.

 

[Heisenberg]

*raises hand*

 

[Electric Amish]

I'm not.

Reason #1: I'm not buying Doom3

Reason #2: I have a 9700Pro + Althlon XP 2600+

I couldn't afford it before last night, but I had a small windfall come my way

 

Nope.

 

[Anubis]

im gonna upgrade from my ti4600 to a 9800 pro or a 6800 havent decided yet because i dont have any mnney

 

[Atomicus]

I am.

But I'm not going to run it @ 1600x1200, probably a little lower for more frames. 1600 is just overkill and people need to stop thinking you HAVE to run it at the highest possible res for a good gaming experience.

 

[brunswickite]

i have a ti4200, and a 2.53p4, should be able to run it

I've been holding off upgrading until Doom3/HL2 came out. I think now (or maybe a month down the road) is a perfect time for an upgrade. It looks like today's high end systems will run doom3 perfectly, meaning they should also be capable of running new games for the next 1-2+ years. I think i'm going to wait a bit longer for Video card price drops and finally upgrade!

Sh!tty thing for me is that I have absoultely no parts that can be recycled from my current computer, too out of date, so I have to build from scratch.

 

[bockchow]

no but i just bought a 9700pro for Kingdom of Loathing so that should work for doom.

 

[xcript]

Not I.

I'm hoping my box as it is will handle the game okay.

 

[welst10]

Me!
9800pro probably will have a hard time handle 1600x1200 at medium image quality. You may have to play at 1024x768.

 

[lokiju]

I'm ready to go already but will probally build a new rig in a year or so.

 

[So]

If it's REALLY bad, I MAY upgrade my Radeon9600 pro, but I'm going to wait and see.

Im getting an athlon64, but that wasn't for doom.

 

[SynthDude2001]

I'm upgrading from my 9700 Pro to a 6800GT that should hopefully be arriving soon.

 

[CanOWorms]

i'm going to upgrade to a brand spanking new 26 Cu. Ft. side-by-side refrigerator for doom3

 

[Amused]

I'm waiting a bit then I'll be upgrading to a 6800GT or U. Hopefully the bubble will burst soon on the price premiums retailers are charging right now.

 

[Amorphus]

2400+ with DDR3200 that can be easily overclocked (I've gotten it to 3400+ before @ DDR3500 stable before), with a 9800Pro (9800np softmod).

I'm all set
And my comp is a year old, and still schweet. I :heart: it.

 

[CRXican]

I recently bought a 6800GT but not just for doom. I want to max out the games I have now, such as far cry

I would have gone this route but I missed the insane buy.com deal In doom3, the 6xxx series absolutly trounces the R4xx series too, but the DVI issue makes me wary.

[JulesMaximus]

Should run just fine on my Athlon A64 3400+, 1GB RAM, 9800 NP 128MB video card.

 

[RagingBITCH]

I'll just wait for it to hit XBox along with HL2
