I.e. Your pissed off that your card doesn't make the grade anymore.

Doesn't it seem strange that an X300 makes the list and not a 9600? How can you even compare a GF3 and a 9600?

If I'm pissed off at anything it's how you can even spell you're.

Your pissed off at your budget card

Come on man what did you expect? I have a 6800 and i know this time next year it will probably be shit again. Thats computers.

Man you're thick. A GF3 is what 4 years old?

guess my 4200ti is good for a while longer

teriba wrote:Why does it say ATI 9700 and GF3? A 9700 is WAY better than a GF3.

I guess I gotta replace my 9600XT.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I have the same card . Looks like I'll have to turn the settings down a bunch for the first few months of playing. Although, I think it was a typo like mentioned above.

That site has the 9600 XT performing a hair better than the 9700. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

How about you all just plump up the what 70 dollars for a new video card capable of running the damn game and stop having a biatch fight over something that is so irrelevant.


PS reminder - NVidia cards run Doom 3 (opengl) better than ATi - fact



Have you ever thought that might be the reason.

What if I don't have 70 bucks to buy a better card? I mean, a 9600 XT is roughly 80 bucks right now. It's at least 150 bucks to buy something worth while.

I'm not bitching. In fact, my life won't end if I don't buy the game when it is released.

I know the ATI and NVIDIA thing for id games. I prefer ATI for other reasons.

meh..... prolly right, squeeze out the extra 20 bucks and get the 256meg ddr 128 bit memory interface and run doom 3 et la

meh.... for 49 dollars I'll take it if I had a shitty geforce 3

lol, I barely make the cutoff. FFS, this system is only 2 years old.

P4 2.4 (though @ 2.75GHz) and 9800 Pro. 1GB RAM.

I'm hoping to upgrade around X-mas time to 7800GT + Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.6-2.8GHz. We'll see...

only?

Just turn all the crap off and it'll look like quake1 then you can play on your systems.
