Doom 3: 9800 Pro vs. X800 Pro.

[FoLeafClova]

wow, same ram

 

[Apokalipse]

if his RAM is only PC2700 it might be bottlenecking it

just thought of something, what programs have you got running in the background?
you might have some resource hoggers there

 

[beedubaya]

same as him, Kingston HyperX PC3200 1GB....

 

[Apokalipse]

that's odd
check the task manager for any resource hoggers in the background

 

[beedubaya]

Here is a list of what I keep running in the background.

 

[U-Toast]

what hard drives? he has a sata, but i dunno it that affects the frame rate that much.

 

[beedubaya]

Hard drives affect load times, not framerate.

 

[U-Toast]

hmm. did he unrar the pk files? that doesnt change frame rate much tho, only frame transitions

 

[beedubaya]

We are both playing the exact same installation of Doom 3, don't ask how There is NOTHING different between my installation and his as far as tweaks and stuff.

I'd say you have too many programs open there, they are taking up too much memory and Doom 3 may be forced to run in paging file which can severely diminish performance
