Mobility Radeon X700: The Graphics of the Travelmate 8100

Doom 3 Performance

At just under 30fps, Doom 3 is just to the wrong side of playable for most gamers. Of course, a platform like this will likely be used for gaming as a secondary function. It may be that the very casual gamer just wants to see the latest and greatest eye candy at a merely passable frame rate. Dropping from our High Quality setting down to Medium will improve performance to a comfortable level while only mildly decreasing the image quality.

Enabling AA is not a playable option for the X700 line at 1280x1024. At 10x7 with AA enabled, we only see 22fps. It’s definitely a better option to leave the AA setting off and go with 1280x1024 at Medium Quality for Doom 3 under the Mobility Radeon X700.
