Now it&#8217;s a little over a year later, I&#8217;ve got Doom 3, and it&#8217;s good, but my graphics card needs a little help. Everything looks incredible with 4x AA\/8x AF, but the framerates are horrible. To get it playable, but still run at 1024&#215;768 I had to turn it all off. It still looks great mind you, I&#8217;m just being a perfectionist.<\/p>\n<p>    There&#8217;s a couple of reviews over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardocp.com\/\">[H]ardOCP<\/a> with good information on configs as well as what you&#8217;ll need to really see this game in all it&#8217;s glory. Thankfully Id designed their game to be playable on modern hardware. So, in a way.. it&#8217;s good that they waited this long to release it. However, only the absolute latest cards from NVidia seem to be able to get Doom 3 to the next level of graphics quality. Oh, and if you do decide to buy a hot new card, make sure you upgrade your PSU to compensate for the added power drain. Ok, ok.. enough writing.. time for some more gaming..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, it&#8217;s late, but I can&#8217;t stop playing.
