I guess doom 3 took a little longer to write than carmack had expected. I remember when it was announced he made claims that it would run at about 30fps on the current generation of gfx cards at the time of release, these figures are almost double that.

I remember he said it would run well on a Geforce 3 Ti 500 !

Doom 3 punishes ATI cards. I'm so glad I didn't buy this X800-Pro.

erm, the ATI cards didn't do that bad, shessh, i don't care what card i use or what image quality i get, all i care about is the gameplay and smoothness of it.

I have used Nvidia and ATI cards in the past and i personally have found that games respond better to ATI Cards. Smile

Too many to put down, so i am gonna stick to what i have, if i can play StarWars Galaxies at 29fps, i can play this game on high settings.

Everyone that has played SWG knows how slow it gets. Wink

Well, it was probably Nvidia that promised investment if ATI got kicked out of the co-op and bingo, Doom III was leaked. (obviously it was known and allowed by ID Software.)

When Carmack got in bed with nVidia, he scored himself a couple of free PCI-Express 6800 Ultra's with the little SLI cable. Who wouldn't ditch ATI for that.

you ati owners have such LAME reasons. why don't you figure it out, ATI sucks. Get in the Game? A crock of crap WHAT game has ATI logo in it!! Christ ATI can't even come close to getting into the game! this is only the beginning, i'm waiting for the final knife in ATI's back and that should come from HL 2. i got a new advertisement for ATI, instead of being sexist and putting chicks in your advertising(yes girls play games too ATI), or guys that look like chicks(ya really nice ati) so chicks using your card are really guys? uh huh, figures. but next advertisement, take a baby with a soother and put it in your ad, i think it would be more suitable in representing your community. oh but don't worry people, ati has next years card on the table so they might just throw it out in a desperate attempt to catch up to nvidia. lmao.. funny too as my response to the guy needing to understand bus speed had this review. hilarious.

Ya sometime this century ATI. LMAO, what a useless company.

I am gfx card neutral too, however xxxx the X800 in many benchmarks has beaten the 6800, and especially when AA/AF is used...

So to say ATI are still catching up is beyond a joke, a joke only a fanboy would spout...

So can you spell "pathetic" ?? Who the fuck cares about ATI or NVIDIA...
Fanboyflamewars are sooooo boring...

I don't care what card i use as long as the game works with no compatibilities, so far with my ATI card, nothing has come up yet, while with an Nvidia Card had numerous problems from day 1. Sad

Anyway, ATI are better at image quality and maintaining performance with FSAA and Aniso, while Nvidia isn't.

Nvidia are good at processing shadows, while ATI ain't so good, but who cares about shadows, i always turn mine off, i never get any benefit out of it anyway. lol
