Here is a rip from Voodooextreme's interview with Carmack...this part relates on his thoughts of the perfect video card for Doom 3:
"Nvidia GeForce[2]: We are using these as our primary development platform. I play some tricks with the register combiners to get a bit better quality than would be possible with a generic dual texture accelerator.
ATI Radeon: All features work properly, but I needed to disable some things in the driver. I will be working with ATI to make sure everything works as well as possible. The third texture unit will allow the general lighting path to operate a bit more efficiently than on a GeForce. Lacking the extra math of the register combiners, the specular highlights don't look as good as on a GeForce."
So Geforce 2 GTS/Pro/Ultra will be a better card I take it.
