Carmack mentioned that there would be a "GeForce 2 compatibility mode" to get this to work. He also mentioned that he is aiming for the game to run at about 35 fps at 640x480 on a GeForce 3 with ~1.5Ghtz CPU. (which is my current system...)
with everything turned on 35 FPS is fairly respectable for this sorta game but at 640x480 res ouch :eek: (wow, this resolution remindes me of my Quake 1 gaming days) now I know why Id used a 2 Ghz Intel + Radeon R300 for the game at E3.
