Gibaholic Posted November 24, 2005 I went out and bought a Geforce FX 5500 graphics card for my computer and installed doom 3, I have it on low , 640 by 480 res with everything off. It runs at like 60 fps when idle, then like 30 to 40 fps in combat. But when I enter a new area itll pause for like 2 or 3 seconds then continue or when I shoot someone for the first time in a map. My computer specs are: AMD sempron 3000+ 2.0 ghz processor, 192 megs of ram. So if I were to buy 512 megs of ram, would it fix those problems? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted November 24, 2005 Everybody gets "door lag" as far as I know. I get it, and I have 1GB of RAM. But adding more RAM won't hurt anything. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gibaholic Posted November 24, 2005 Okay well I am gonna add more ram but, would it increase my fps at all? 0 Share this post Link to post
Higher Game Posted December 4, 2005 192 megs of ram is really, really low. Even if it won't up your fps, it should make your computer noticably faster. 512 is a good amount for most people, hardcore gamers usually have 1024, and fans of games like FEAR and Battlefield 2 sometimes have even more! 0 Share this post Link to post
Bastet Furry Posted December 4, 2005 I heard that it helps decompressing the pk4 files. It brought my punny GeForce 3 a boost of 4 fps *g* 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted December 5, 2005 Yes, more RAM will have a huge impact on "door lag" (heh, I like that phrase). I would recommend going farther that 512 megs if possible though. 1-1.5 gigs should almost completely eliminate this type of behavior altogether. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gibaholic Posted December 6, 2005 I plan on getting a gig of ram, should help my quake 4 out too. 0 Share this post Link to post
