Welst10 - do what the previous post said. Start menu->run, then type in 'dxdiag' (no quotes). On the first page of the dialog that pops up will be your directx version number.. look at the bottom of the dialog. Vetteguy, too bad my suggestions didn't work for you. I hate when something...

Howdy. I was getting nasty drops in framerates any time there were "distortion effects" in a scene. This occurs where fire is used in the game, and when you are looking through curved glass, etc. I'm talking about 30-40 fps down to 5 or less. No exaggeration. Here's what solved it for me...

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! I was grabbing at straws, until I did this: I went into my display settings->advanced->geforce->performance and quality settings->Show advanced settings- then scrolled down and turned on Anisotropic Optimization ON. I went back into the game, I tried 1024x768, high quality...

Sorry.. I have the ASUS A78NX.. I think I got that right. My speakers have the following color coded inputs: Green, Black, and Yellow. These green is the only color match from the color coding on the motherboard's connectors. I've been eyeing those Z-680's everyone's been talking about. Too...

Thx for the help. I was hoping there was some setting in the doom config file. I set that cache? setting to 256, and my framerate went up a great deal (not for the heat/glass distortion effect). Too bad the Doom 3 coders aren't on this thread. I'd bet they would know how to solve this in a...

I wonder if anyone can help me. No matter how I hook up my Altec Lansing 251's to my nforce 2, they just don't sound right. The read and center channels produce horribly little volume. I don't understand it. Messing with the sliders in the nforce control panel doesn't seem to do much. The...

I hope someone can help me out here. The nforce chipset supposedly supports 5.1 audio, and my speakers (though not high end) are 5.1 speakers. No matter which way I hook up these speakers to my motherboard, the center channel sounds 'unamplified' (you can barely here it), and the read speakers...

Yep, I got the latest drivers. Just snagged them 2 days ago. I'll doublecheck, but they should be the 61.77 drivers. Maybe I need to completely clean off the old drivers? I can't think of anything else. The heat/glass distortion effect completely kills the game for me, literally. 640x480...

For the heck of it, I tried setting doom 3 to 16x12 at the high quality setting on an amd xp 2500+, NVidea 5900, 1 gig ram, etc, and it ACTUALLY RAN WELL... EXCEPT.. Whenever there's a scene where "warping" occurs, my framerate drops to 5 fps or less. Basically, when there are scenes like...
