Hey Saurdekaur,

A friend suggested I send you this link when I showed him your optimizations:

Looks like some test drivers w/ optimization for your card and doom3.

heres another optimisation for ya.

Got it off the planetdoom web site.

Find your 'DoomConfig.cfg' file and open with notepad (make a backup as you never no)

find line:

seta image_cacheMegs "32"


try changing the 32 to something higher (within the amount of ram you have) so for example put

seta image_cacheMegs "96"

should get a boost.

:)

I don't think so. The Main character is not a gun toting racist.

Now that I cant post again, thanks for the optimisation saur, it helped :)

Has anyone visited http://www.martianbuddy.com yet?  Somewhere in the Administration section is a martianbuddy cabinet.  Inside is a handy dandy Chaingun, perfect for taking out those huge 'bulldog' things.

Yeah I did the Martian Buddy thing.  Wonderful piece of hardware locked in the 'security cabinet' too - I had no idea scientists were so well armed.  ;)

Argh, well unpacking hte .pk4 files means no multiplayer action :)  It requires them packed.  I deleted them instead of moving/renaming.... copying them back over.

Curious Charon, are you running your headphones from a surround card now? Currently i am and find it excellent for precisely locating the direction (360 degrees both axis) in which incoming targets are approaching from.

Just wondering how much better it can get, but if they're German i can guess there must be alot.

When you get the big monitor (if not provided) download the ICC profile from the manufacturer for the windows setup, do a gamma correction as well. The big screens are great when it comes to digital photography and also for watching movies and dvds and that other ting dat makes yous goes blind.


I have fairly good headphones that I use with the Audigy 2 (which does give deeper sound than the old SB live). They just have the single connector though and I use them in standard headphone mode. They sound good but the german hardware should provide a fairly "true" 5.1 surround and not a simulated type surround. I'll just have to see what's what when they arrive. The reviews place them better than standard headphones but not quite as good as a pure 5.1 setup with speakers (which is impractical for me).

Thanks for the monitor advice Torque. I have it now and the picture is great (sharp, distinct .24 dp), but the natural gamma seems a bit high. I can adjust it down with enough work using the card's software and the monitor controls, but the blacks still seem a bit bright.

Quick question.  Semi-spoiler if you're anal about it:

Alpha Labs sector 2 or 3... You receive a radio transmission from someone.  He says it's low frequency and thus is nearby locked inside a storage place.  I dont remember coming across him.  Is this the same guy that leads you through the dark  part? (heh, no, the *really* dark maze like thing to the ladder :D)  

If thats not the right guy, can he be kept alive when the two Imps attack right at the ladder room?  I've tried several times and he dies instantly.
