I just played it last night on my box. AMD 64 3200+, 15k SCSI, 1.5 GB ram, ATI 9800XT and it was ok at 1024, but when I bumped it up to "ultra" it looked like a slideshow. I run UT 2004 at 1600X1200 with all options turned on including anti-aliasing, and don't have any problems.

 

Doom 3 isn't what I'd call "optimized", and it has a very "half-life" feel to it.

Of course, had I actually read Saber's guide, I'd realize that anti-aliasing isn't necessary.

 

I'll try it again today at lunch on "High" setting with AA turned off.

I couldn't load the article.

Doom 3 was an attempt at atmospheric survival horror rather than the classic Ultimate Doom slugfest, which the latest game thankfully reverted to.  Nonetheless, a very good game, and even the original X-Box version looked amazing for the time.

Basically Dead Space's evolution in reverse, which was a classic survival horror experience to begin with, changing to more third-person shooter action in the last game in the series.
