Doom 3 + 6800 Ultra settings
What are the highest quality settings you can enable with this card?,
running a Pentium 4 Northwood @ 3.37GHz + 1024 MB of Corsair Twin 3200LLPT @ 2-3-2-5 and overlcoked to DDR210. Gigabyte GA-8KNXP revision 2.1, FH BIOS, Western Digital Raptors, 74GB 4.5ms x2 RAID 0. Audigy 2 ZS, Antec 550W PSU. Is it true you can't enable the ultra high quality mode?, and why not?...what about enabling AA/AF at max settings....i mean, i want to max everything out to the max, so what FPS can i expect? |

You need a 512Mb Video card. Maybe you can saving your money for one. |

You dont need a 512mb vid card. If you have the 6800 ultra or your getting
it, you will definitely be able to play in 1600x1200 ultra mode in doom3. I have a less powerful system for Doom3 than yours and i can run it at those settings. I get around 44fps with a little bit of hitching and in high mode i get 48fps and its smooth as butter in the timedemo. The actual game runs better/smoother than the timedemo. Actual game play: Ultra is max 60fps and low 20fps, High is max 60fps and low 30fps. You can try 2xaa or 4xaa but it might not be worth it. 8xaf is enabled in game in high quality and utlra quality. I have: AMD Athlonxp 2700+ @ 3200+ Abit Nf7-S 1024mb Corsair 3200C2 DDR @ 6-3-3-2 Regular ide setup for hardrives Onboard Nvidia soundstorm Ati Radeon x800xt PE 256mb ddr3 cat 4.9b For doom3 (Opengl in general) Ati isnt as good as nvidia so you should expect better with a 6800 ultra card in Doom 3.

If you play at 1600 you dont really need to go higher than 4xAA In fact 2x should do the trick. You can run in Ultra mode "reasonably" smoothly if you have a 256MB card...but you need to apply the now well known config tweaks...and then you're still going to get some chugging. -- ) ___ ______ (__/_____) /) (, / ) / __ _ (/ _ /---( __ _/_ _ / (_(_/ (_(__/ )_(_(_ ) / ____)(_(_/ (_(__/_)_ (______) (_/ ( |
