Depending on settings in the game you might need to lower the details alittle.

Also goto www.ati.com and get the latest drivers.

I RECOMMEND SETTING V-SYNC TO ON...TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW.

LukaR · Answer

Put VSync OFF. If you have LCD screen set refresh rate to 60Hz, if you have CRT 75-85 depending of side. If 60Hz works for ya go for it. Set AA to 4x and AF 8x, and everything to highest quality. Sometimes when the card can push a lot of frames you may experience lag, because frames are jumpy 80-120-75. When you set everything to max, the highest frame is lower and closer to the lowest frame, so it would be like 75-80-68 and everything runs smooth...

tcmalker · Answer

hey boranes, did you try the V-sync yet?  You can access it by right clicking desktop, settings, etc.  I'm sure you can figure it out.  Please let us know which one works better, V-sync off or on.  My bet is on 'on', especially if you have LCD,

jankerson · Answer

Try these settings I am using with my X800 Pro.

boranes · Answer

thanks for the help!! i tried vsync off and on,and tried the settings that you provided   but unfortunately still no luck!! still getting low fram rates like the low 30's in the bigger levels,but no preambles ruining doom3!    Could it  the CPU? Are system settings. Thanks for the help with this..its really aggravating i thought a high end card wouldnt do this!!!!!!!!
