Thanks to everyone for turning me on to the Omega drivers. I've noticed 
the game is smoother now. However, I was looking for some tips to 
improve it even more.
With the new drivers the framerate is always on in the top right corner 
is there a way to turn that off?

My framerate is anywhere from the upper 40's in well lit areas to the 
low 60's in the darker areas. I have the 3D settings on "High 
Performance" and the Overdrive enabled, and hardware accelation set on 
high. Anyone got any ideas for more improvement without killing the detail?

I downloaded the mod that tapes the flashlight to your weapons. In the 
read me text it states the following...

lace the included *.pk4-file into your Doom 3-base directory.

Or,

make a new folder in your Doom 3 directory, named "Cam's Doom 3 Mod" and 
place the included *.pk4-file into that folder.
Now start the game and launch the mod in the Main Menu by klicking on 
"Mods", "Cam's Doom 3 Mod" and "Load Mod"!


I've done both, but in the game it doesn't seem to see it. Any suggestions?
