    whoa... if you were getting 1 fps with a gf3 500, then theres something else wrong mate. I was getting 24 on my gf3 200.

    Anyway, if you run the alpha, try setting com_fixedtic 1 in the console. Game runs in slow-motion, but it runs really smooth (i was getting 50+ on my rig, which looked sweeeeeeet). I don't know what the correct conclusion to draw from that is, but my personal guess is that it was running slowly more due to slow code in the physics routines than in the engine itself. Which would make sense... at a slower speed, the physics routes should get called less frequently, freeing up more time for the gfx engine to do its thing...
    Or am i getting completely the wrong end onf the stick here? X.x

    Anyway, the file name should be doom_iii.rar (thats three i's, not three 1's. but you knew that already. ) with a size of 372,833kb. I've tried getting a hash for it, but K seems to be really slow at the moment... could just be that there aren't many sources at the moment.
