blarg problematic Doom 3 FPS rates

[AyashiKaibutsu]

At 10x7 ultra high all settings but vsync on and 0 AA I get 81 FPS. Now if I set AA to even just 2x my fps drops to 30 and theres a severe stall every time a door opens. Everythings application controlled in NV perferences. The game looks awesome without AA but it's kind of bugging me.

I believe the "Ultra" Setting is reserved for 512MB cards since Doom3 textures can reach about 500MB. So that little stall might be your page file being accessed on your hard drive. Drop your setting to just "High" and you should see that stall go away.

if you are running at 60hz with vsync on, any time you can't get 60fps the next best the card can do is 30fps. either up your refresh rate, turn off vsync or get an ati card so you can use triple buffering.

Vsync is off. it was all setting but vsync. Yea, it's probably the ultra high setting, but I think I'll keep it probably better off with ultra high and no aa then high and aa.

As long as it looks good to you is all that matters.
