Ultra Low Graphics Mod?

[A Nobody]

Is there a mod that makes the graphics lower? Or something to remove the extra lighting effects?

[Tetzlaff]

Yes, https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-3-to-doom-2

Should be right up your alley.

Ugh.

Well to help with performance I meant.

[Tetzlaff]

Well, there was this:

Don't know if it's still available though. Are you stuck with a PC from the early 2000s?

No. My computer can handle Doom 3 very well, but it would be nice to have an ultra low setting available for parts where the frame rate would drop.

If available lowest settings are too high, your PC can't handle Doom 3 very well.

I said it can handle well.

Then why would the frame drops matter?

Incase frames drop or for certain mods.

Not sure if this counts as bumping, and I apologise if it does, but how do I make my game look like that?

Frames will practically always drop if you dont use vsync/freesync. Even at high framerates you will run into situations where frames will drop if not synced.

I have a potato, AMD A10 1gb Graphic RAM inner core, no other graphi card, 4 gb ram.

And i didn't have any frame drop at all on intermediate graphical setting.

Maybe at the start of the map, when things are still load in. But after that, it played smoothly and without problem.

 

If you have something better than my own PC, you shouldn't care for ''in the case'' as they will be really really strange to occur.

I thought vsync decreased performance?

That A10 is still quite a chunk more powerful than a X360, so Doom 3, no matter which version should run fine.

How do I make my game look like the video? Potato mode basically.

You assemble a rig with a Voodoo 2 card and look here.

 

Or try out your luck and just download the Voodoo 2 patch seperately, here.

(Archive.org mirror)

 

Likely won't work because your graphic card is either Intel/AMD/Nvidia and not 3DFX, but perhaps you can use a wrapper or look at the tweaks it does and implement your own.

 

EDIT; Here is a bloke who ran it on a Pentium 3 rig, instructions included. It does seem to require a Voodoo 2 SLI setup though as expected.

 

EDIT 2: And here are two links how to run it on a Voodoo 5500 through MesaFX, looking much closer to the original since the feature set is better on that GPU.

 

Perhaps you can use the Geforce 2 MX/Geforce 4 MX codepath. You will keep basic shadows though.

No, have it look like that. I'm using Windows 7.

What do you mean?

[snapshot]

D3EE has "very low" graphics mode that makes the game look kinda like this, also lets you turn off many other graphical options.

no but it does increase input lag with is why its generally recommended to be off though how much input lag (and if it matters) changes from game to game

Might be late help but and i dunno if it's gonna help you or not but i remember that what helped me the most was editing cachemegs in cfg file. i got some really nice fps boost. here is thread how to do it : https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/26116-boost-doom3-fpsperformance/

Interesting. I'll try that out.
