Default Doom3 Bad fps on 6800 Ultra wtf? :S

I just bought a Geforce 6800 ultra retail (point of view) thats all i
could get hold of in uk :S i done a fresh install of windows xp so
they wasnt no driver conflicts
installed doom 3 with directx 9.0b what was on doom disc and the game
runs **** poor :S fps are dropping from 60fps down to 30fps :S
this aint right i know this card owns doom max settings with AA + AF
all my other games run fine
i run 3dmark 03 and i scored 12186 wich i know thats about right for
my spec system
is anyone else having problems like this in doom3 with this card ? :S

my specs are

P4 3ghz (HT) (northwood)
1gig dual ddr 400
Geforce 6800 Ultra (point of view)
Sound blaster Audigy 2

TIA

Your problem is that a P4 3ghz is not a good choice for Doom 3.
Upgrade to an Athlon 64 3400+ or higher for superb
Doom 3 performance with the 6800 Ultra.

Even a $160 Athlon 64 3000+ would probably help quite a bit, but an
Athlon 64 3400+ or higher would probably be a better match for
the 6800 Ultra video card.The 6800 Ultra is a great choice for Doom 3.

AA + AF my m8 has a 2.8 p4 with a 6800 gt and he runs it 1280x1024 4x
AA 4 AF and his fps is solid 60fps mines dropping to 30fps without AA

Probably because he doesn't have it on ultra quality which optimally runs
with a 512mb video card.

I'm so sick of ppl not knowing you really can't max this game out with
current hardware.

BTW, 30 fps is still respectable so shut up.

what drivers are you using? also why not try installing DX9.0c and see what
happens?

PS get that from tekheads per chance? I have a Leadtek 6800 GT coming from
them tomorrow (today!?!?) will do some benches.
