Doom 3 Performance boost
 
Found this on Bittorrent.

-

I dunno if it's just me, but I noticed this trick beefed up my DOOM3 performance by a lot.

Anyhoo:

In your DOOM 3 directory, find "DoomConfig.cfg" (x:\Program Files\Doom 3\base). Open DoomConfig.cfg in Notepad.

Find the line:

seta image_cacheMegs "32"

I changed 32 to 96.

I got a nice boost in performance. I dunno if the tweak worked or not (maybe my machine did something wierd, have no clue), so I'm just seeing if this works for others as well, or if a different setting works better than others.

anyone get this working?

Hey, i tried that and first of all mine was set at "24" not "32", which may be because of the different performance levels in our cards.. But also, I changed it to 96 and didnt really notice any difference.. but thats just me and my system... I think it depends on the amount of RAM on the mobo and on the VGA card.
