Doom III Alpha performance improvement

[D-clone]

Is there a way to imporve performance on Doom III alpha?
I have an Athlon XP 1800+ with a Ti-4800. I turned off aniso and AA, but it still pretty slow. Sometimes its up to 20 or 30 fps, but when a new scene comes up, it drops to under 5 fps.
And the intro movie video goes out of sync with the audio.
Is there a command in the console or something where i can lower the resolution, or maybe turn off some graphics features, bc somtimes its unplayable.
thanks

That is just how it is :/

i found out that by turning off v-sybc, and using 16 bit color depth uder my ti4800 settings improved performance dramatically. Its actually more than playable at 40 -70 fps ALL THE TIME!

These commands turn off some of the features, although they don't really improve performance much on my system:

r_shadows 0
r_specular 0
s_reverbtime 0
s_roomacoustics 0

To switch resolutions, use "r_mode x" where x is one of the video modes (type "listmodes" in the console to see a list of them). You'll need to use "vid_restart" after that to actually chance the resolution.

Shaviro, you as a Super Mod oughta be able to see that and take the appropriate actions - I'm disappointed with you! See me after class! :-P

I just moved it here less than half an hour ago so it wasn't.
