Posted August 3, 200420 yr download the Catalyst 4.8 Beta from http://www.guru3d.com, it has excellent OpenGL enhancments I wonder why they havn't implimented in the cats eariler. Make sure you uninstall the old display drivers before installing new ones.

August 3, 200420 yr i tryed them n now it runs even slower, i only have a radeon 7500 tho :/ time to put in my geforce4 from my other pc i think :fingersx:
August 3, 200420 yr so far the door thing is gone for me too. but im not sure if thats because of the driver or because of the area im in. but thanks alot. it seems to run perfeclty now. i love my comp again. :jerkit2:
August 3, 200420 yr Techno_Warrior'] Make sure you uninstall the old display drivers before installing new ones. i used to do that but then later found out theres no point to it, just a waste of time. it's a leet driver, people on guru3d forums got like 10 fps boosts from it, and i take their word for it because i don't make benchmarks for the game. this is only beta, the word is the full 4.8 is going to be out in a day or 2 :fingersx:

Is there really one? There must be if they ask you to uninstall first. Could it just be precaution or something?
August 3, 200420 yr the reason you should uninstall old drivers first is to make sure that you dont end up with old files mixed with new files which can cause compatability issues and stability problems etc etc it makes sense if you think about it

August 4, 200420 yr Author This thread just got pwned by ATI. Behold, the 4.9 drivers. http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4547.html oh goody thanks for the update. grabbed them. edit: I got about 15 FPS gain with those drivers, however very dark areas are pitch black, with the 4.8 betas darkness was more realistic, now it's just a wall of black.
August 4, 200420 yr really good tweak works for all card, i see about 10-15 fps increase ==== In your DOOM 3 directory, find "DoomConfig.cfg" (x:\Program Files\Doom 3\base). Open DoomConfig.cfg in Notepad. Find the line: seta image_cacheMegs "32" change 32 to 96 (try others too mebbe but mine seemed best at 96) bam, nice speed boost.
August 4, 200420 yr what kind of compy do you have amd 2500+ @ 3200+ spec 512mb ddr geforce4 ti4800 runs doom3 playable (40-55 fps avg) 800x600 medium detail
August 4, 200420 yr yeh with newer systems you should be pretty good for the most part as long as you run on med-low or med detail. I think there is a guide to tweaking it somewhere, but im too lazy to find the link :wow:
