If your system is overclocked then write something like this "P4 Northwood and so on so people quickly can see why just your system perform so well. Too new systems will have their own separate toplists. Of course all older hardware is also OK, so is new systems but the idea is to run somewhat period correct hardware. (late Nov for SLI, early 2005 for Crossfire if I remember correctly) SLI and Crossfire were not available to the wide public in August 2004 so no dual action in the period correct list.
Ati radeon hd 3450 driver version 8.970.100.9001 series#
The ATI X850 series only adds PCI-E interface to the X800 series so we can include those aswell. When it comes to Video Cards, PCI-E was the new hot thing and the top cards were the ATI X800 XT PE and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. Update: Note that the period correct hardware cut off has been changed to and even some later A64 steppings such as the San Diego are allowed in many cases as they perform the same as the Clawhammer core and many year 2004 A64 models were made using both core revisions.

When it comes to motherboards the latest chipsets for Intel CPUs were i875P, i865, i915 and i925X.įor AMD the latest chipsets at the Doom 3 release were the Nforce3 and the VIA K8T800 PRO. The best AMD CPUs were different flavours of single core K8 (Athlon 64/Opteron). When Doom 3 was released the best Intel CPUs were the Northwood, Prescott 5xx, Gallatin and the Dothan. Perhaps there are others with period correct hardware who wants to contribute results to a toplist? Who has the lo. After reading the thread about ridiculous hardware requirements I felt like building a period correct system for playing Doom 3 with hardware available at release.
