Things do get a little 'busy' later on, the demo is a decent guide to what
to expect then. Most the time your framerates will be above the ones in the
demo.

I'd go for the latest ATI drivers (4.7 official or 4.9 beta) and drop to
1024x768 and use the high setting in Doom3.

If FPS is still a problem you can tweak, see <
http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/FPSVisuals.htm > for an all round
config that you can tweak to your needs or <
http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/FPSConfigs.htm > for a wide range of
configs ranging from excellent visual quality to low visual quality for all
video cards (64,128,256 ..)
