serpentine: I have a Club3D Radeon HD5870 1GB DDR5 PCIe 2 x16 with reference HSF. Hope that helps. Also, m8, have you seen this: http://imgur.com/gallery/IV3KY

Intel might also be valid if you have switchable graphics... but you're probably (hopefully) using the nvidia Geforce instead   Don't worry, laptop manufacturers are notorious for making it hard to f

Lol my GPU isn't on the vote list. You have newer than ATI 4xxx or older than ATI 2xxxx I have a 3870 which would be a 3xxxx. (I chose older anyway.)

 

It's been an awesome GPU, very reliable, still plays most games, never overheats. It's about 5-6 years old. Made me an ATI fan.

When I started playing TDM, I was using an ATI 4870. I'm now using (and voted in this poll as using) an NVidia 560Ti. I have had no problems whatsoever with the NVidia, with no need to tweak or tinker with settings (it's been gorgeous!), and the ATI I did have to tinker a bit with (especially disabling Catalyst AI), but once I'd done some really simple stuff, it was grand as well.

Cross-fired 5770's. Not the greatest combination for this mod, given that crossfire needs CAT AI :\

Sapphire HD 4870 512MB, bought in July '08 so coming up to four years old. It has served me pretty well although I must admit my gaming is pretty much limited to TDM plus the odd online shooter, and I haven't bought any new games for quite a while.

 

I run TDM on my monitor's native res @ 1920x1080. It runs pretty well although I don't usually have AA or AF turned up as I'd rather have the performance gain. Sometimes it can be quite choppy, usually in parts of maps well known to be taxing. I'd love to be able to run TDM at a solid 60fps with all settings on high (and find the perfect gamma/brightness levels!) but that's going to take a hefty upgrade as well as perhaps some engine/mapping optimisation. I'm going to stick with what I have for the near future, although I'm thinking of going the small form factor route at some point down the line.

Just to say I have upgraded from my Intel integrated HD chip thing to a new laptop with 2GB nvidia GT 555M, and that when I voted with my Intel chip and said "TDM plays fine so far", what I should have said was "TDM runs fine because as far as my utternoob brain is concerned getting an average of 12-15fps is brilliant and I really don't know any better".

 

I know the 555M is lower-middle range GPU-wise, but still - I'm now getting 50-60fps in areas where I was down to 3-5fps (**cough**GlenhamTowercrypt**cough**) and TDM has gone from looking really good to jaw-droppingly stunning.

Should be better after 1.08 is released. CatAi doesn't have to be disabled. Would be good to hear how it works for you then, I don't think anyone else is running crossfire.

geforce gtx 460 linux i could use the intel HD gpu that comes with the cpu... core i5 2500k

 

I also have that option, but I need a hdmi cable to plug into that, so no testing from me. From what I understand it's OK for games like TF2, so it should run darkmod decently as well.

I knew it wasn't gonna fly, but I tried TDM on a laptop with a Geforce 6150 (32-bit!) the other day. I got it up to about 15 FPS on A Score to Settle by downscaling the textures and in low resolution. I wonder if 1.08 would make TDM playable on this machine. I also wonder if I can go outside right now and jump up to reach the clouds. :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
