Graphics settings are limited because it's basically running on idTech5 like rage does.

Ummmm... no. You're very very wrong. Doom 3 is running idTech4, and it's the only game they made that used idTech4. Rage is idTech5, where they introduced megatextures, and the engine was completely redone after idTech 4. idTech 1 is Doom/Doom2, idTech 2 is Quake/Quake 2, idTech 3 is Quake3 Arena. I would call Doom 2016 idTech 5.5, even if Bethesda calls it 6, because it's the same engine that Rage used, but with improvements. However, since John Carmack didn't design the engine, and it's based off the existing code of idTech 5, it's not a new engine.

And the BFG edition is a neutered version of the original Doom 3. iD was sued by someone who said that Carmack stole his programming for the lighting effects. Carmack said he didn't, they arrived at the same dynamic lighting programming by chance. But long story short, they didn't want the lawsuit, so they settled; that meant they couldn't sell the original Doom 3 version anymore because the lighting algorithims were under dispute. So they released the BFG edition, which looks far inferior to the original version.

The version of Doom 3 in the bfg edition was ported over to ID tech 5, so your second sentence is wrong. I agree with everything else though.

I got this game back when it was originally released on PCCD back in I think 2004 at release for like $60 but never had a regret.

I kinda laugh now at the system requirements but back then this game required a BEAST of a machine to run well. Now though it's still fun as hell to play but graphics are dated nit for some reason the BFG edition the graphics seem to not look as good as I remember them

Turn off LOD BIAS completely. It makes textures blurry.
