See subject for meaning of frustration

Calm down. They'll release them in a few weaks, and although DooM 3 uses OpenGL alot, some things are hard to port, like the heat wave which uses DX9, that'll take some time. Meanwhile, I'm just as anxious as you are, so I'm playing it with Cedega.

What nVidia card? When you need an upgrade, there's a GeForce 6800 for $287 at newegg...

i am dreaming of twin 6800's. trouble is we will need a twin pcie-16 board, and so far only intel make them

FX5700LE w/ 256MB of ram... I will not spend more than 100 bucks on a video card (or any computer stuff for that matter). This one was $99 on pricewatch.

Go with the 5900XT 128. A much better card for a couple bucks more.

i agree

and if ur impatient, keep a lookout on ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3

see if that directory exists, once it does, im willing to bet linux binaries will be on it.

Where the announce of release will be?

RHLinuxGUY · 09-03-2004, 07:22 PM

Christmas 26th is the minimum date

doublejoon · 09-07-2004, 11:44 AM

Doom 3 not worth the $55.00 IMO
