For more details see my Gamer's Graphics & Display Settings Guide. Also run a Timedemo with VSync on and off and see what your particular results show.ДЄntialiasing: Antialiasing is a method of smoothing the jaggedness of lines in 3D graphics. If you are happy with it, keep it off, however if you find the image 'tearing' too annoying, or want smoother FPS, then set VSync back to On. You will need to experiment, but to begin with I recommend firstly checking your graphics card control panel to ensure that the Vertical Sync option there is set to 'Application Preference', and then in Doom 3 set VSync Off. Others show through their Timedemo results (See Neat Stuff & Conclusion section below) that having VSync off improves their average FPS. Some people have reported to me that they get better, and more importantly smoother framerates with VSync enabled (Set to Yes). Whether VSync should be on or off in Doom 3 is not set in stone - it differs by system. It is always recommended that you have as high a refresh rate as possible to ease eyestrain (See Advanced Tweaking section). You can still have a refresh rate higher than 60Hz, it's just that your monitor will simply show some frames more than once. There is something important to understand when talking about VSync and Doom 3 though - the Doom 3 engine is specifically capped at 60FPS, so normally you cannot exceed this framerate regardless of your VSync setting (you can exceed it by using the com_fixedtic -1 command - see Advanced Tweaking section). For more details, read my Gamer's Graphics & Display Settings Guide. If VSync is disabled (set to No), you may see some image 'tearing' as your monitor and graphics card go slightly out of synchronization when the refresh rate exceeds the monitor's abilities, however your FPS can now exceed your monitor's refresh rate. Vertical Sync: Vertical Synchronization (also called Vertical Sync, or simply VSync) is the synchronization of your graphics card and monitor's abilities to redraw the screen a number of times each second (measured in FPS or Hz). Again, if you can do without this effect turn it off. If set to Yes, surfaces will appear much more realistic, especially when light shines on them, however your performance will be lower. However obviously it reduces performance, so if you're after more FPS and don't mind the drop in realism, set this option to No.Д®nable Bump Maps: Bump mapping is an effect which makes 2D textures appear as though they are 3D, with depth and grain. When combined with Bump Maps (see below), this option creates a very plausible illusion in Doom 3 that your surroundings are real. If you feel comfortable turning this option off, then the performance improvement (which is significant on many systems) may be worth it.Д®nable Specular: If set to Yes, specular lighting gives the surfaces of objects, ranging from metals to skin, a realistic sheen. Your performance will improve, but the atmosphere of the game may suffer somewhat. If set to No, these shadows will disappear, although this doesn't mean all the areas of darkness in the game will be removed. This is particularly noticeable when there are multiple characters/enemies on the screen, as they cast very complex shadows. If set to Yes you will see most objects casting very realistic shadows, which move with dynamic sources of lighting (such as swinging lamps for example), however your FPS will be lower as your system has to do more calculations to determine where shadows are cast at any point in time. These effects take some graphical power to produce, so disabling this option (setting it to No) will improve your performance at the cost of realism and immersion.Д®nable Shadows: This setting determines whether you see any real-time shadows cast for objects in the game.

For example, looking at a column of fire will produce a highly realistic heat haze effect. High Quality Special Effects: With this setting set to Yes, Doom 3 will use a range of advanced graphical techniques to increase your immersion in the game.
