yeah, if you have a card that supports vertex shaders (either a Geforce 3, ATI 8500, or Better) you can to turn on all the features with less penalty to the CPU
here is the Carmack quote from gamespy
"The GF4-MX is a very fast card for existing games, but it is less well suited to Doom, due to the lower texture unit count and the lack of vertex shaders.
On a slow CPU with all features enabled, the GF3 will be faster than the GF4-MX, because it offloads some work. On systems with CPU power to burn, the GF4 may still be faster. "
also with reguards to a 500Mhz system with a GF2-MX, is probably unsuitable for this game
1 FPS indeed
