ATI card and doom 3?

Post by DE-G@vnor »

This will help a lot :)

http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4547.html (tested with my Radeon 9700 pro and works a treat!) - DOOM 3 ATI beta drivers

Also, bear the following in mind

<<
If your fps are fine but the game is stuttering in some (or many) scenes, open the Doomconfig.cfg in your doom3 directory.
Find the line:

seta image_cacheMegs "32"

and set it to something higher. This is the amount of ram in mb which is used by doom for image processing (or something similar). So if you've got enough ram available, increase it to 96,128 or even 256. It will run a LOT smoother
>>>


These are the only 2 "hints" on the web I have found that are worth their salt - but these 2 are beauties :)

on the motherboard mate. From my tests, I'd say it should be double what u have on card for top performance (if u got nice fast ram).
