Well, I shutdown zone alarm and unplugged my cable modem (Motorola sb4200 usb) and I'm up to 48 fps at 640x480 low. A lot better than 35, I'm gonna do some more testing and find out if it is the modem or zone alarm. Don't have time right now, on lunch break. I will check a few other things...
Changed vsync from application controlled to off in the display panel. It is off in Doom 3 also. Switched card back to stock speeds. Ran at 640x480 medium quality. Still 35.3 fps.
Vsync is off. Double checked. No dual monitor setup. I even checked in the display control panel and checked advanced options and made sure it says single display (don't remember exact wording cause I'm at work now). CPU limited to 35 fps at 640x480 Low??? Running at 2.175 Ghz...

I just upgraded from a ti4200 after I was getting 29 fps with my system at 640x480 low detail in doom 3. My new 6800 won't go any higher than 35 fps at 640x480 low!!!! It will run...
