Slo-Tech: Games are obviously quite far behind graphics cards technology. How do you think will Doom 3 affect this considering that it looks like there will be graphics cards capable of running it in 100 fps range when the game ships?

Richard Huddy: Doom 3 won't require anything more than DX8 class hardware to run the game, and while there's no doubt that it'll be a tremendous game a great success there are several other games that I'm also looking forward to this year. Top of my list are Half Life 2 from Valve, and Far Cry from Crytek. Both look amazingly good and they take the outdoor games engines to a whole new level.

And Doom3 will still not run at 100's of frames a second if you crank up the anti-aliasing settings, enable anisotropic texture filtering and run at the highest resolutions. We still have plenty more raw power to deliver to make that happen.
