Been playing with my shiny new 6800 and experimenting with Doom 3 settings. Also been tweaking with RivaTuner, but that's a separate topic.
It seems I will always get 36-37 FPS in Doom3 timedemo, regardless of resolution setting. I can go all the way to 1280x1024 (1600 not working at all) with "high quality" (0xAA, 8xAF), and still 36-37 FPS.
Now.....I'm running an Athlon XP1800+ at 140 FSB (5% o/c to 1610Mhz) and 1GB of RAM. I knew to expect a CPU bottleneck, but not this pronounced. Makes me wonder if I have something else going on. I mean, this is crazy.
<edit>
Forgot to mention AGP is at 4x, and sig is now slightly out of date.
I got 75% of my watercooling gear (slowly collecting). I need to get the CPU and mobo choices figured out. Waiting for clarity to strike me.
