    Not very well. You're going to want a more high-end video card.

    My R3000z has a GeForce 440go 64MB video card, and it runs Doom 3. I do have to run it at 640 x 480, low quality, shadows disabled, and specular lighting disabled to get an average of a little over 30 fps. Game still looks great though.
