heh nice to bad it's in itallian not many can read that, a Voodoo5 6000 would do double the frame rate but still not playble enough, but quite amazed to see it running on a 5500 AGP heh :X

did he use a modified Doom3 MesaFX OpenGL32.dll?
if so what were the changes?

I feel like testing this on my Athlon64 X2 4400+ with Voodoo5 5500 PCI Smiley

- Slower than Doom 3
- More graphics errors than Doom 3
- Screenshots are made at the 640x480 resolution at minimum detail
- Only the demo work and not the full version

well it's a good start at least Smiley full version has same engine as demo with only more graphical options and maybe morely updated, but in common the engine is identical.

a Voodoo5 6000 would run it better maybe @ 1024 x 768 x32 Smiley details @ normal Smiley might be worth a shot Smiley

hmm odd, done that with my 6K but that was a nogo used Win2K Pro USA + SP4 & AmigaMerlin3.1 R11, I'm willing to give it a go with the 5500 PCI with the same driver and same OS as with XP Pro SP2.

thanx for the help though Wink
