^^major minor: No aa applied ? btw which card ? And how much did you get quake 4 for.

 

[gxsaurav]

Lucky U man,

post your system specs & also if possible a benchmark, for this open the console with the ~ key & then write,

timedemo demo1.demo usecache

this command is infact for Doom3, it might not work in Quake 4, but do try this

 

[Major-Minor]

I am playing at 1600x1200 @ High Quality, 2AA and 4AF on a BBA X800XT PE. In any case at higher resolutions applying more AA does not improve IQ by much, so its either play at low resolutions and push up the AA and AF to the max or play at high resolutions and bring down the AA and AF for me.

I got the game directly from WWCDrom @ Rs. 1,235 (1,299 - 5% discount)

 

[raj14]

Lucky Guy Major, i am waiting for my Special DVD Edition BTW since you got it from WWCdrom, tell me, have they started distrubuting F.E.A.R.?

 

[Major-Minor]

@raj - No man, though WWCDrom distribute some VU games they will not be distributing FEAR here, I think Milestone Interactive will be releasing FEAR in India. I called them up (Milestone) and they seemed to have no clue about when it will release here, anyone with any info about FEAR launch in India please post the info here.

 

[raj14]

Doesn't surprise me, that's what i hate, Indians are mostly the first ons to get Ripped about games, My Pc Wallah E-Mailed me a while ago about F.E.A.R and Serious Sam II, he said, they both will be Released in November, (First Week, Not confirmed) By Some Multimedia Company in New Delhi. priced aroudn Rs.1,299 For Each. the Director's Edition is NOT Availble, one would only get the Cheap CD Edition,s ame goes for Serious Sam II

 

[rockthegod]

Quake 4 completed 3 dayz be4.. was awesum.. one of my best Single player FPS experiences ever. The NExus Core level was very difficult though... took me more than 45 min to figure out how to destroy the core!!!!

 

[vmp_vivek]

Does any of you guys know that whether this game supports Ati Radeon 9000 card ? I read the sys reqs, but I couldn't find it.

 

[raj14]

you'll be able to play Quake 4 @640x480 Low Settings, with Bump Maps turned off.

 

[vmp_vivek]

That's it ? I thought I can play at 1024X768, with everything turned OFF.

 

[raj14]

ATI 9000 is a very old card, unless you'd rather prefer to watch a Powerpoint Slideshow than game, 1024x768 is the way to go! Quake 4 is based on Doom 3 Engine, increasing the Resolution to 800x600 or 1024x768 would result in Major frame rate drops, sorry but you won't be able to do so.

 

[Nemesis]

The ATi 9000 is not listed in the supported cards for Quake 4. If I remember correctly, the lowest was a Radeon 9700.

 

[raj14]

Never Mind those 'supported" card lists, the're always wrong, in BF2 Read Me, it says the Minimum Card required to play is GeForce FX5700; i play the game on a FX5200. ATI 9000 Would be able to play Quake 4, but as i said earlier, at Minimum Settings, especially NOT 1024x768. max 640x480 that's about it, even then, it's unlikely, the Fps would even go higher than 25.

 

[tarey_g]

doom3 works on my cousin's 845 having cel 1.8 . but dont ask me how well it works

 

[Nemesis]

Well, yes, most of the time, the minimum settings are not quite the minimum. For Quake 4, the bottomline is that if you could run Doom 3 "decently," you can run Quake 4 too. But yes, it's absurd to think that an ATi 9000 will run this game at anything over minimum, let alone run it at 1024x768.

 

[deathvirus_me]

Hmm .... the game sounds good ... will get it very soon ...
