My configuration is almost exactly the same as yours, only I'm running a 9800 Pro (oc'd as well). You might try the beta drivers from ATi and see if that helps you any. Btw, I'm running Doom @ 1024x768 High Settings w/ 2x AA just fine

I have the same vid card, but only have an athlon 2400+ and 526 MB of ram and was laggy until I turned vsync ON. Solved all my problems and was able to set my res on 800 x 600 and play on medium settings (which btw, still rock) and keep all the special effects on and have absolutely no probs now.
med quality 800x600, 9800 pro w/xt bios, and amd 2200+ 1024 pc2100 generic ram, lags just walking through the level..

Did you try turning vsync on? And I've also heard that ati cards were having some trouble, but there is a beta ati driver out specifically to help with doom and they expect a better fix for the issue around September. So if turning vsync on doesn't help ya, give the beta driver a try.
How come I cant find a roll of ducktape.
So I can ducktape the friggen flashlight to the shotgun.
It allso seams that the guns fire slow..
And there is no option for allways run..

Ok, ive been told of a way to increse performance a little. Ive noticed a slight increase but im on a 3200, 1gig ram and 9800 pro so it runs fairly nice anyway...
With winrar u can open the pk4 files in the base folder, extract all the files from all the pk4 files into the base folder then delete the pk4 files (or make a backup and put somewhere else) so the game can't use them. This cuts down on cpu usage ingame cos the pk4 files are highly compressed. Should speed things up a little, report back!
Also, has anyone on a 9800 pro/xt tried the ati beta drivers? Id like to hear some info before changing from stable omegas to beta catalysts. ATI have said the x800 cards get the most benefit and im yet to hear from anyone with a 9800pro/xt who has tested them.

am i the only one that's a little dissappointed with doom
it has this feeling of been there done that
they didn't make anything new with the exception of the graphics
and i don't like the a.i. either
it's a great game but it could've been more
much more

Stamina? Oh man that sucks :-/
I hated that option in rtcw.
Anyway, doom3 tells the story of (Ultimate) Doom. Well, it's as if it never happened.
But it's basically the same isn't it.
And it's made by ID software. ID wants to keep it simple.
Expecting huge new content in this game well.. no wonder you'd be getting instantly dissapointed.
It's a doom game. MP has 4 player support. It has few new elements (So i've read?) Such as a couple of new monsters, 1 new weapon the soulcube right?
Otherwise, it's back to basics I guess?
I didn't mind the whole "doom3, quake4" thing but....
I honestly think ID should come up with a new game.
Then again, the names "doom and quake" guarantee lots of $$$€€€

i totally agree,most developers are too scared too take risks and stay with the old crap, but after working for 4 years on it i expected more, way more.
I'd rather had one totally kickass zombie that could think a little then the enemys there are now, mindless shooting in a new coat.
At least we'll have half life 2 too look forward too.
Opposed to everyone here im pretty disapointed with it. Bumpmapping is nice, but I realy think they are streching it way to much. It is not cool when you walkup to something that looks like a nice mesh, just to find out that it is a bumpmap and when you view it from the side it is completely flat. The textures looks like thet are no larger than 256x256, even when standing 2 m away from some of the objects or walls it looks like utter crap, blurry and miscolored.
The models looks nice at first, but when you get bored talking to the charactes, you notice the huge spikes that comes out of their heads, and the hands looks extremly bad, if it wasn't for the bumpmapping in the face, they would look no different from a Quake3 character.
The movement feels sluggish, like your running around in mud or with a rubber band in your back. The weapons are no better, the pistol is kind of nice, but why can't I be allowed to fire it faster? and why the hell isn't the pauses between the shots not the same all the time. The shotgun is a complete joke, even in 2004 a shotgun can kill instantly at 50m or more, but with this one your lucky if you can hit a door standing 2m away from it. The machinegun or whatever its is called is no better, whey does it sound like it fires in burst's when it does not, and why can one kill just as fast with the pistol, I actually thought that it should be better than the other weapons.
The only thing I have found so far that is just a bit positive is the character animations, they are pretty nice, but apart from that, this game doesn't score more than average, and it is not worth the 90%+ it gets in the reviews everywhere, whitch is a complete joke to read.
... and I do have a proper computer to run it on
