Guest Gareth B Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hey All, Just thought I'd make a post about Doom 3. I had been having many performance problems with Doom 3 on my laptop, it has 1Gb Ram, a 2.8 P4 and 64mb GeForceFX Go. I was running everything in the lowest quality settings with shadows and specularity off and it still ran poorly, unplayable at some points. I tried many different drivers but none of them helped until I tried the 61.77 drivers. They have provided a massive performance boost, and now I can run Doom 3 in 1024x768 in high quality settings with shadows, specularity etc.. turned on and it runs perfectly. I hope other people will try these drivers and have the same results I have had with them as I hear quite a few people with laptops are having performance issues in Doom 3, even with better specs than me. I have yet to try Far Cry, which I also had performance problems with, but I will get back to you once I have tried them. Gareth B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest miejas Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 What FX Go is it? 5200, 5600, 5700 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabberwalky Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Thank you Gareth B. That was a very important Tip for me! :) Thought I have to carry back the Game to the Store because of 5 fps all the time. But now : => Timedemo 1 High Detail with Shadow: 800x600 28.3 fps 1024x768 20,7 fps High Detail without Shadow: 800x600 38,7fps 1024x768 28,3 fps Thats cool. Thing the 1GB Ram is very useful. During the Game the Taskmanager told me that I use 780 Mb at the Moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des hüft echt. Und Du? I mues sogen, als i den Lappi gegen den olten getauscht hob wor i irgendwie von der Performance enttäuscht, hob mar mehr von a FXgo erwartet (hob davor an Toshi 2430-404S mit 4go gehoben). Aber eatz wo die DX9 spiele kemen merkt man in Unterschied, weil a kolleg hot mein olten lappi und man sieht das der DX9 support viel ausnholt... :) Bin grod beim überlegen ob i mar o 1 gig Ram einbau, ober i woas eben no nit wieviel des bringt... hob bis eatz a 7200 rpm festplotte und wlan nochgarüstet... Konnst du mir mal a paar benchmarks schicken damit i ungefähr woas wie sich des auswirkt? :) mfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kann anzigen Punkt. Oba ba de Spüle hüfst enorm. Far Cry is, nochdem i 1Gig einipockt hob (war da Hauptgrund) und die Auslogerungsdatei auf nui gstoit hob, ruckelfrei glaufen. Vorher hob i auf da 1024'erAuflösung Probleme ghobt. Waunst an support für dei werkl brauchst muast a moi do Guternet - Forum 5200-903vorbeischaun. Do bin i a öfters. p.S.: 1GB Ram hat mir 159.90 Euro kostet. Die 512mb hob i um 83 Euro verkauft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Und hast du Pc2100er mit Cl2,5 genommen oder kann ich da bessere auch hernehmen? Und sind das die Ram mit 144 pin? Und danke fürn Forum tipp, wirklich interresante Themen dabei, obwohl ich das meiste schon kenne... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
