Titolo: HELP - DOOM3 LENTO  su pentium IV e radeon 9800SE

Salve ragazzi, non sono un grande intenditore di frame al secondo e di
schede video, ma possibile che il mio Pentium IV 1800 con 512 MB di Ram
e una Scheda Video radeon 9800 se (paragonabile ad una 9600pro come
prestazioni) facci andare diciamo "Discretamente" DOOM 3 alla risoluzione di
640 X 480 con una qualità media.- bassa, tra l'altro la stessa consigliata
dal setup sulle opzioni "Rilevazione Automatica".Appena appare qualche zombi
mi va un abbastanza a scatti...
E' vero che le mie Ram non sono DDR  ma secondo voi è un problema di PC o di
patch?
Ho gia scaricato gli ultimi ati catalist e non è cambiato nulla, sulla
scheda video ho 128 mb di Ram, sbaglio forse con l'Aperture size dell'agp?
l'ho provato sia a 64 che a 128 ma nn cambia nulla (agp settato a 4x
ovviamente)
Se c'è qualcuno che ha voglia di consigliarmi mi dica pure--- ahh
dimenticavo.. il processore l'ho anche portato a 2400 mhz e regge bene ma
(133mhx x 18..grazie ABIT!:-)) non giova molto al gioco tantochè la
rilevazione mi da sempre come risoluzione consigliata la stessa di quando
gira a 1800 mhz.
Chi saprebbe darmi qualche dritta?

This is an other ingeniousness that aims at making Doom 3 access its assets 
faster: up to 10 times according to the author! And no, it won't tell you to 
decompress the PK4s and recompress them back thereafter.
To my opinion, this is the best way to achieve that goal because the 
original PK4s will be left intact. However, you will need quite a lot of 
free space on your hard drive. Actually, thinking about it, all depends on 
what data you want Doom 3 to access faster ...

Description:
This file provides many astute advices to help you increase your FPS count. 
The first part guides you in setting up an optimized config file for the 
game while the second helps you optimize your graphics card.
Unpack the PK4 files
Want to increase your Doom 3 single player performance and don't mind using 
an extra 2 Gb or so extra hard drive space? Then try this tweak. It involves 
unpacking the compressed sound, video and texture files Doom 3 uses and 
placing them uncompressed on your hard drive. Once the files are 
uncompressed, Doom 3 won't have to do it on-the-fly, and your game play will 
benefit greatly. This will against Texture Thrashing, which occurs when you 
move into large areas. You might notice that problem as stuttering, pausing, 
or jittering during gameplay. This and the next tweak help reduce that and 
smoothen your gameplay.
  1.. All of these compressed files are located in PK4 archives, and you can 
use WinRAR to unpack them into your Doom 3\base folder. There are five files 
to unpack: pak000.pk4, pak001.pk4, pak002.pk4, pak003.pk4 and pak004.pk4 and 
they're all found in \base under the main Doom 3 folder. (People have 
experienced crashes or the inability to connect to a server while attempting 
to play multiplayer Doom 3 after performing this procedure, so if you want 
to be able to restore Doom 3 to its original settings, make a backup of the 
\base folder and all the files and folders it contains.)
  2.. Start unpacking the pk4 files to the \base folder, saying "Yes" to 
overwrite any existing files. Since you've backed up the \base folder it's 
now safe to delete the pk4 files - and also necessary if you don't want the 
game to continue trying to access them.
  3.. Now for the final step; go into Doom 3\base and edit the file called 
DoomConfig.cfg. You'll want to increase the number of the setting that says 
seta image_cacheMegs "20" to something like one quarter of your total system 
RAM. For example, if you have 512 Mb RAM, set seta image_cacheMegs to "128". 
(Remember to replace the original \base folder when you want to play 
multiplayer.)
It's time to fire up Doom 3 and change the game setting to High Quality and 
increase your resolution. Play with the settings until you're happy with the 
performance and enjoy your improved load times, higher frame rates and 
better image quality!
Increase the image_cacheMegs setting
This setting also helps against Texture Thrashing. You won't notice any 
increased overall framerates but it should make the game feel smoother 
during transition areas such as enterring new rooms, moving into large 
areas, and opening doors, basically anywhere there is a need for texture 
swapping.
  1.. In your DOOM3/BASE folder open doomconfig.cfg using notepad
  2.. find "seta image_cacheMegs" and change the number value to roughly 1/4 
or even 1/2 of your total available system ram (512 = 128, or 1GB = 256);
  3.. Look for "seta image_useCache" and set that to "1".
  4.. Find "seta image_CacheMinK" and set it higher than default or else the 
game crashes when loading. People are recommending "20480" as a starting 
value but others have tried higher values.
Disable Anti-Aliasing
Most of you already disable AA to play the game, but some people invariably 
forget to turn this off. The visual quality for 2X AA in Doom 3 is 
negligeable compared to the performance you can gain when turning this 
feature off. If you are running a midrange setup (ATI 9600XT, 9700PRO, 
9800PRO, and below, or Nvidia 5700, 5900, 5950 and below) it might be worth 
turning detail higher rather than using AA.

 gira a 1800 mhz.
Fai dei test per vedere il framerate a 1800 e 2400. Vedrai sicuramente 
un miglioramento. Cmq puoi anche provare ad overcloccare la sk video... 
Al limite se riesci a cambiarla con una 9800XT con poca spesa fallo, io 
ci gioco con un sistema complessivamente molto veloce ma con una 
"semplice" 9800 PRO non overcloccata e va molto molto bene.
In ogni caso considera l' eventualita' di farti processore, sk madre e 
memorie nuovi.

ti ho postato dei link, scarica i file e decomprimi nella directory "base" 
di doom3
:)

l'ho presa l'annos corso la sk video , è una all in wonder 9800se... 250
euro.... sigh sigh!!!

euro.... sigh sigh!!!
Hercules? Non si modda?

ho provato a moddarla per attivargli le altre 4 pipeline rimanenti...
niente da fare.. macchie a scacchiera sulllo schermo.. pero' la velocità era
esattamente raddoppiata!Dopo ho scoperto che certe riescono a moddarsi e
certe no, sono tipo degli scarti della 9800pro a cui vengono applicate
restrizioni a causa di qualche irregolarità... come andare in giro con i
diaframmi sul motorino.Cmq sta cosa la sapevo
