Doom 3, scanlines and doublescan

Hi all,

I'm running Doom3 on my Radeon 9700 PRO, at 640x480. I'm using Win2K.
As expected when using such a low resolution, I'm get scanlines (that
horrible TV-like effect) - I'd like to get rid of them. I understand
scanlines can be avoided by using the doublescan feature available in
most modern video cards, but I've read somewhere that this cannot be
done with windows drivers (Linux can though).

Is this true, or there is a way to turn doublescan on in windows? Or
maybe I can remove the scanlines some other way? Maybe the new
Catalysts can help me? I'm using the latest Omega drivers at the
moment, which are based on Cats 4.7 IIRC.

Well, I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance,

-- Blues.

What's your CPU. 640x480 is very low, you should be able to run much higher
than that with a 9700 Pro. If you overclock the 9700 Pro to 9800 Pro
speeds, you should be able to get around 40 ~ 50 fps at 1024x768 on "medium"
settings.... unless of course your CPU is a lemon.
