D3 ran perfectly fine with my Radeon 9800 SE though, at 1024x786 and medium detail. I used a config for 128 MB videocards that sets overall detail to slightly above medium. At first it didn't run completely smooth, but then i found out i was running at 1280x1024. :icon32:
In the meantime i got me a 9800 Pro that's well overclockable so i'll see how Q4 will run with that.

I'm upgrading to an ASrock 939Dual-SATA2 ULi M1695 + Athlon 64 3000+ Venice soon, which supports AGP and PCIe. :icon31: So i'll be testing Q4 with my Radeon first. :)

Yeah D3 ran pretty damn good on my radeon 9200 on medium as well. But I fear an upgrade is going to be well deserved for this one. CPU, ram, vidcard, etc...

nVidia will probably get you 20% higher framerates than a comperable ATi card in Quake 4.
