changing gamma spoils the atmosphere...any way..
i have a amd 2800 barton core 512mb ram ati 9800 pro..in timedemo i get 39
fps..doom 3 is capped at 60 anyway.
your resoluition is to high, drop it for improvement..also a read through
this link below as its helpful. i have my gane set at medium 800 x 600..i
think you should do the same but use high quailty..the game hardly looks any
different throughout the different res specs anyway
