doom 3 benchmarks on 9100 with 64mb mobility 9700
Here are some benchmarks with my notebook in doom3. I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 with 2.8 ghz P4, I gb of ram, and the 64mb flavor of the mobility 9700:
43.5 fps 800x600 MED noAA/noAF
34 fps 800x600 MED noAA/8xAF
25.7 fps 800x600 MED 2xAA/8xAF
40 fps 800x600 HIGH noAA/noAF
28.5 fps 1024x768 MED noAA/noAF
For each of the above I ran demo1 3 times and took average of last 2 runs. This is with the cat 4.9 betas. I have the 9700 overclocked to 513/304. I imagine the 9100s and XPSs that have a 3.4 ghz p4 and a 128mb mobility 9700 will score significantly better. Anyone in here with this setup and doom3?
Doom 3 looks great on 9100 and runs smooth as silk. I'm quite pleased with the performance of the mobility 9700 but I'm looking forward to upgrading to the mobility 9800 (w/256mb).

I am experiencing troubles stepping out of the base into Mars, where I have some dark polygons getting splooshed on my screen. I can make out a few objects here and there by looking at the floor. But, it's not fun when you are experiencing a certain lack of oxygen !!! I believe I need new drivers to fix the issue. Please let me know if you or anyone you know has experienced similar issues with bad polygons in the outer Mars area.
For you guys out there having issues with crashing, try the new ATI Catalyst 4,9 Beta drivers.
My framerate wasn't great on average. Although it is still enjoyable most of the time.
Using demo1, (after running it about twice on each setting)
I received 23.9 fps on Medium Quality / 640 x 480 / NoAA (the defaults provided by the game)
21.4 on Medium Quality / 800 x 600 / NoAA
19.1 on Med / 800 x 600 / 2xAA
19.8 on Med / 640 x 480 / 2xAA
The following links may prove useful to apply a few tweaks if you get it up and running:

hotcigar,
I do not see the problem you see while outside but I do not have same setup.
I see no increase in framerate on the 9700 (at 800x600 noAA/noAF) when I changed the cache to 256mb but I have 1 gb of ram. I will try AA and AF and look at the impact.
I truly think the fix for mobility cards is more related to cat 4.9 beta drivers. I did not try Doom 3 on other drivers so I can not confirm this.

I have a Dell Inspiron XPS notebook with:
3.4 GHz Proc, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB 7200RPM Hard drive, ATI Mobility 9700. AND DOOM 3.
I also have my virtual memory set to 3062 MB wth a max of 4096 MB max.
In Doom 3 i experience the aforementioned crashing... Anywhere from 10 seconds to about 2 minutes of play the XPS will lock up. And hard. i have to hold the power for 8 seconds. It has been upsetting. I have read the forums and read about the ATI Catalyst 4.9 Beta Drivers - of which i have downloaded.. on a 56K line! and i can't install them! What gives? if anyone could help me i'd appreciate it.
I have turned every option off or down or to no. i have it on the lowest possible video quality and ratio. it still crashes. i have tried tweaking them like crazy, but nothing.
Does anyone have advice or tweaking help? thanks alot.

The Catalyst drivers from ATI will not work on XPS laptop only the Dell branded drivers work or the drivers from omegadrivers.net will work. After installing omega drivers Doom ran like a champ and currently running as I type this...

1280x1024? What fps are you getting? Is this at low, medium, or high settings? Do you have a 3.4 in your XPS?
To do a timedemo press crtl+alt+~ and at console type: timedemo demo1.

@HanDron
only 1280x1024? Playing with 1600x1200, 8xAA and 16xAF everything on ultra high with app 80FPS! Now I'm selling used frames, 1$ for one frame, need some? There must be something wrong with your system I think...
@all
timedemo 1 41,9 FPS 1024x768, Settings High, changed AF with .ini to 0, shadows disabled
I have a 9100 with 3,0 GHz 1GB Ram, 9700 with 128 MB

Any tweaks done to the config file? Maybe it's the 1GB of RAM that's doing it for ya....
