Performance Preview of the Doom 3 Game - tech
(hx) 01:39 PM CEST - Aug,04 2004 - Post a comment / read (4)
X-Bit labs benchmarked today's high-end graphics cards in 5 demo scenes of the much-anticipated Doom III game:
The answer is pretty simple: at this stage with current drivers and version of the game NVIDIA's GeForce 6800-series is the best thing you can buy for Doom III. ATI's RADEON X800-series also delivers nice performance and astonishing gameplay, but based on the benchmark numbers we have to say that it is much behind the rival. Older-generation hardware will hardly be a good choice for Doom III, however, keep in mind that we tested with "high quality" settings set, while "medium quality" may offer higher performance, but with a bit compromised image quality.

To tell you the truth, even on a rather mainstream machine you are going to experience the game in all its glory. For instance, we tried to run the Doom III on a machine powered by Intel Pentium 2 .40GHz processor, i875P-based mainboard, 1GB of dual-channel PC3200 memory, ATI RADEON X800 PRO graphics card and SB Live! audio card and the game performed astonishingly well with quality settings set to "high" and anisotropic filtering 16x activated from the drivers.

It is interesting to note that some of the graphics cards working at high (but still stock!) frequencies produced artifacts and even BSODs in Doom III. So far we have experienced only one such issue with a top-of-of-the-range contemporary graphics card from a manufacturer that we do not name at this time.
Update: AMDZone has compared Doom 3 performance on Athlon 64 + Radeon 9800 XT.

nVidia wins! nVidia wins! nVidia wins!

Man, this is a song i never get tired singing!

oh whoopy,

Nvidia wins by a slight and probably unnoticable fraction.

I tested my ATI Radeon 9800Pro against my brothers' Nvidia GeforceFX 5900 Ultra 256MB in my machine so there is no advantage hardware-wise, since he has a far CPU & Memory/Dual Channel.

His Card only won by 5fps, which i wouldn't have noticed if i didn't have the fps showing on the screen.

So, in my opinion if you ain't fussy about getting the most fps in Doom 3, a 9800Pro is good enough.

The only game had a problem with was Farcry, but i personality thought it was a piece of crap. (just my opinion, so no flaming)

FX5900(06:38 PM CEST - Aug,04 2004 )
just your opinion so don't start flaming???

well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions as long as they are civil about it.

I ain't picky about how much 3DMark2001 or 3DMark2003 points i get, well it is obvious, if your card can run the 'Mother Nature' test completely smooth and at 100+ fps then your card rules, but in the long run, if the game runs well, who cares if another companies' card gives you an additional 5-10fps??

My current card runs fine and i am sure it will run Half Life 2 pretty good too, since i was completely shocked how well my computer ran Doom III, it will run Half Life 2 more better since the game is optimized and recommended for ATI Radeon 9800 cards. (Pro & XT)
