nvidia tnt2 m64 agp 4x??

Will this video card of mine be able to run Doom3?

Video Adapter NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (Sony) (32 MB)
3D Accelerator nVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64

Sorry , you guys must be sick of these posts

TNT2 chipset, eh? I had that in my desktop. Isn't that kinda old? Mine couldn't even handle fullscreen mode with my movies half the time. It just gave up and crashed.....

I can play cs and most games with it. i can also watch movies fine

Nope. Nuh-uh. No way, no how. It lacks a large number of the features necessary to play Doom 3 properly, among them texture compression and hardware stencil buffering. Sorry. What is the rest of your system like? It may be that you simply need a video card upgrade if you wish to play the game.

eracism, you can't seriously be asking that question with a straight face.

I read the title of this thread and I thought this was another one of those sarcastic ones like: Pentium Pro MMX, 32 meg EDO ram, 24x CD-Rom.... I'm ready for Doom III!

But since you're serious, here's an honest answer: With that rig, you probably won't even make it to the load screen. It's that simple.

my computer:

pentuim 4, 1.6ghz
512 ddr sdram
80gb hard drive

Yeah, you're in fine shape. Obtain a decent newer graphics card when you're able; I recommend a 128 MB card, and if possible make sure that it will use the ARB2 codepath. The GeforceFX and Radeon 9500 (and up) would do well; make sure they have 128-bit DDR memory, and go kick some demon ass.

i got these system requirements from futureshop.ca

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

CD ROM: 8X
CPU Speed: Intel 1.5GHz; Athlon 1.7GHz
CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4 Or AMD Athlon Or Greater
Disk Space: 2.1GB
Display: 16MB DirectX 9.0 Compatible Video Card
Memory (RAM): 384MB

The display's WAY off. Shame on them for saying that. A 64 MB card is needed, and preferably one in the supported list:
ATI: Radeon 8500, 9000 series, X*00 series
Nvidia: Geforce3, Geforce4 MX, Geforce4 Ti, GeforceFX, Geforce6 series

My friend is offerning to sell his ati radeon 9600se for $100 canadian, is that a good deal?

[FreonTrip]

eracism, it would be hard to do much better. Go for it.

[The Undertaker]

Its obvious why he's selling it. The SE claims another victum. Well its a huge improvement at least and being on TNT2 the idea of using AA/AF won't cross your mind (for a while at least) so you should be good.

[PersN]

hmmm $100 for a radeon 9600se..dont know where you live but here in so california those cards are $100 new..stay away from the -stripped edition- radeons and get a nonpro/pro/XT version

So should i get it or not?

I also get half life 2 for free when it comes out.

i think it will work
i have amd 2500 with geforce 2 32 mb and it not only works but it works fine it moves not the best but it is playable.

what will work, the 9600 or the tnt2?

[PersN]

the 9600se would work fine but any 32mb card like the tnt2 would not or atleast thats what the min reqs on the box says ''64mb hardware accelerated video card and lastest drivers''....oh also if your getting the 9600se its not that bad playing doom3, my friend has one and it ran at 640x480 at med, he gets atleast 30 fps. i still think you should get a radeon nonpro, pro. or xt version, if you want a ATI card. im running doom3 on a pny geforce 5200 128mb and the game looks really good, i was surprised..tho if you go Nvidia then get a geforce 5700 card atleast

I can't afford any other video card. The 9600xt is $300 canadian.
Whats so bad about the 9600se?

[PersN]

nothing really...doom3 runs fine on my friends comp with the 9600se but im jus saying get a nonpro, pro, or xt version of the 9600 there much better then the se version

[The Undertaker]

The SE has only a 64bit memory bus giving half the memory bandwidth. AA is out of the question and hell 32 bit color is probably going to give a big hit too. 1 step forward 2 step backwards if you ask me.
