Okay, i have heard many different views of whether my card(fx5600 non-ultra) can handle doom 3. So, i would like to hear the opinions of some people who have got a 5600, and who have tested the game on that card ,but feel free to express your opinions even though you don't have the card. I want to get as much help as i can, because i don't want to waste another 50 bucks on a game i can only run 10 fps on(like deus ex 2). Oh yea, greatly appreciated if you could post ur fps as well.

Well im running it on a FX5200 at 10fps the time demo says (although in game its more). the game is playable, it just goes a bit laggy sometimes.

Runs great! :D
800*600 on Medium, had it on at 1024*768 at some stages but got a bit laggy.
You hav a faster processor than me so it would run even better, well worth the buy.

I'm running the game just fine. AMD Barton 3200+, 1GB RAM, FX5600 256MB, *high* video setting in D3, 1024x768. Plays smooth as glass.

one more thing guys, are ne of you running the fx5600 ultra, or are u just running the normal version?

I'm running an Ultra but wont get the game till tomorrow so will have to let you know.
As you can see from my sig I hope to run this just fine.
Got an X800 on standbuy at my local internet shop though just in case.
As a guide though, the best i could play FarCry was Medium Detail at 1024*768.

Screen res: 800x600. On both High and Low settings, I get between 25 to 35 fps during non-action sequences (i.e. just walking around). On High setting, fps drops below 20 if 2 or more baddies show up, which renders the game unplayable. On Low setting, it's 25-35 all the way through.
Any higher resolutions and the game becomes a slide show.
See sig for system specs.
