i&#39;m doing 1024*768 on high with everything except aa on. doing around 70fps most of the time. goes down to 50 on occasional highly detailed places

How can you get 70 FPS when the game is capped at 60?

ya? is there a way to uncap it or something? i used some tweaks without losing visual/graphical quality. now no matter what i&#39;m up against (even 5 guys) or if i&#39;m in a very detailed place, my fps never drop below 55 fps, and during everything else it&#39;s always 59 and 60 (and i&#39;ve even seen it go as high as 62 but drop quickly back down to 60). anyway i can uncap it from 60 and say, set it to 70 or maybe even 80?


here&#39;s a tweak that really helped:

In your DOOM 3 directory, find "DoomConfig.cfg" (Doom 3&#092;base). Open DoomConfig.cfg in Notepad or Wordpad or watever you use.

Find the line: (use the find function, much much faster)

seta image_cacheMegs "X" (X is either 32 or 20, depends on what machine you have)

I changed mine from 32 to 256. FPS went through the roof&#33; I was gettin 40 max, and now it&#39;s 60 constantly (avg). I upped it to "512" and that&#39;s when i noticed it go to 62 FPS, and i&#39;m sure it can go higher if i knew how to uncap it. replace "32" or "20" to half of your total ram for best results but remember, "experiment" cuz wat works for me might not necesserally work for as good for you. more tweaks to come.

I think its because it makes very little difference to the graphics, but the FPS drop a bit.

Just played the first half an hour of Doom 3. To cut things short: I am scared shitless&#33;&#33; I was sitting in the dark and playing with headphones...which explains a lot. Anyway, here&#39;s my rating after playing 30 mins:

Graphics: Kick ass&#33;&#33; I play on 640x... and with everything on low (laptop) and it still looks good.

Atmosphere: I wish my mami would hold my hand right now, and I&#39;m 22&#33;&#33;&#33; &#39;Nough said...

Story: Must survive and hunt eavil scary monsters....or whatever&#33; Who cares about the story anyways?

Overall: 94/100 (add 3 if stoned)

Doom 3 rules:

1. Never, i repeat, NEVER forget your flashlight&#33;

2. Watch your back (and front, and sides, and above), those lovely creatures come from everywhere.

3. Play with all lights shut off&#33; Smoke a big fat blunt (or not if you&#39;re non-smoker)...

4. Quit your job, you won&#39;t have time for it anymore...

A few fps is always a good thing, especially when you have a mx440

Shit, the minumum requirements is 384mb of ram and I only have 256. Does this mean I wont even be able to get the game to run?
