Hi!!

By looking at your problem I solved mine and maybe this will solve yours
too.

I also have a GF4 Ti but its a 4400. I saw you said you enabled FX emulation
with aTuner. I did exactly the same to get the Doom beta to work. So what I
did was simply to turn it off (I downloaded the latest aTuner so that it
would be compatible with the new driver I installed) and now, bingo! Doom3
works fine :)

Make sure your turn all type of emulation on and maybe it will work for you
too.

Good luck!
