Same here, and they said I could pick my game up Monday night.

[knuckles644]

SAY WHAT?

What if I ordered 2 day shipping? Is it still availible for in-store pick-up?

[herbtv2]

I hope he wasnt lying to me,thats why I will only do in store pickup for pre-orders, shipping takes too long.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yep. Ebgames. Starting to regret it to, since everybody seems to being saying Gamestop and even Best Buy will have it sooner.:mad:

Oh, and Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb.

Look at the Doom III hardware guide. I would expect your rig to get around 40 FPS at 1280*960 High Details.

You think so??

I was under the impression that while my CPU will be great, and video card good, my RAM would really limit everything.
I mean, weren't their test machines like 3Ghz using 2Gbs of RAM or something ridiculous like that?

I'm just trying not to get my hopes too high. ;)

[knuckles644]

RAM doesn't matter that much unless you're running under Ultra Quality. You'll be fine at High Details. Check out some of the Athlon rigs.

Damn, I hope you're right.

We'll find out in 2-3 days though...:D You should do quite nicely at 1024x768 and 1280x960 with high setting....with AA/AF even!:D 512mb of ram should be enough....though 1gb would be ideal.;) When you can, you should really be looking into an A64 setup, it'll let your card really spread its wings, so to say.

For me, pre-ordered from local gameshop, ETA 4th August (3rd in the US)....will pick up the game myself....that's how impatient I am!:p Albatron 6800GT.

Hehe, one step ahead of you. See my sig. ;)

Got an A64 on the way!:D

Only problem though, is the PC2700 Kingston will hamper it, although probably not to a noticeable degree for me. Either way, my next upgrade will be memory, for sure.

[Reign]

i played the alpha leak on my rig (in sig (i'll buy the original so dont worrie ;) ) and it runs really smooth to be honest. Now with the knowledge a few things are added in a scene + optimisation it think i should be fine @ 1024x768x32 high detail.
