I noticed on the front articles there was something about doom 3 and if you should upgrade your hardware before or after you try the game.
Theres an quake 1 modification that attempts to keep up with doom 3 technology called tenebrae. They released thier final 1.0 engine not too long ago and the attention died down. Tenebrae 2.0 became the next mod project. Currently there is 1 compiled ready to play release of the tenebrae 2.0 engine for industri. Anybody who wants to have something that is simular to doom 3 to benchmark and try to ready themselves for doom 3 should seriously consider checking this out. I wouldn't go out and buy hardware if it can't run tenebrae 2; however, I would try to plan ahead if doom 3 was something I was going to run when it does come out.
Right now my system is
xp 2400 @ xp 3200 2.23ghz
A7n8x deluxe 165X13.5 (768pc2100 ram)
geforce 4 mx 440 (345/460)
I have tried to squeeze as much performance out of industri (tenebrae 2 release) as possible. If ur running anything like what I am you can expect between 10-30 fps at 800X600. 640X480 with some lower texture detail is a bit more acceptable; however, you can expect those fps to drop signifantly out of playable zones in a action packed multiplayer frag match. I'm still not sure about that though, it could be possible with a system like this to change settings and still get by in some multiplayer. The real problem with that is the sacrafices, would anybody want to drop thier resolutions to 640X480 and lose 75% of thier frame rate in order to have per pixel lighting and some new 3d graphics features? Well I don't know thats up to the individual computer user, but i'd say that it couldn't hurt to check out industri as the tenebrae 2 engine is completely new and much closer to doom 3 than tenebrae1. There are links for industri (the only tenebrae 2 release available) at the tenebrae 1 websight.
