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 http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0LDQ= "Keanu" <NOSPAM@NOSPAM.NOSPAM> wrote in message news:lI6dnQnIO8HBcoLcRVn-jQ@look.ca... > Bob Huntley wrote in message ... > >I have a ATI X800 Pro graphics card, a 3.06 GHz P4 and 1 Gig of RAM - and > >without any attempt yet to optimise things can get 30 fps when running at > >1280 x 1024 resolution (at least in the first parts of the game).
