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?

The drivers have nothing to do with your framerate counter. Bring down the console and type "com_showFPS 0" - that should turn it off. If the counter is yellow, you've left fraps open. > My framerate is anywhere from the upper 40's in well lit areas to the low > 60's in the darker areas.

You should be happy with this performance. Unless anybody has any wacky suggestions to modifiy the config files of D3 directly, I think that's your lot for basic config. > I downloaded the mod that tapes the flashlight to your weapons.

For instance, there's a smell chance the mod doesn't include the pistol, so if you're only testing it from the beginning of the game perhaps you don't have the right weapons yet? > Radeon 9600 pro (256 MB) > P4 3.06ghz (2 CPU's) > 512MB RAM Booker T
