Doom 3 Benchmarks at HardOCP

There's a thread in Video, but it's getting no love. The review uses varying CPUs and GPUs.

NVIDIA is laying the smackdown

 

[Megatomic]

It uses 2 higher end Intel CPUs. That's not what I'd call varying...

I hope Anand shows us some NF2 love with his review.

I am definitely going with a 6800GT for my new system in the fall!

2 and 3 gb of ram. absurd

Honestly, if you want to compare Doom 3 to Half-Life 2 then don't even bother...you are wasting your time. Why? Well if you have seen you can do in that game, or rather if you haven't then understand there is no contest. I mean kudos to Carmack, he took all the programming on his back for Doom 3 and had some pretty good ideas, but it's still going to fall short of all the freedom you are given in HL2.

Looks like it's the end of the line for my Radeon 9700 pro.

That was with ATI drivers that are 2 versions newer than the CAT4.7's too. That doesn't bode well for ATI unless they have something up their sleeve. I would hate it if i just bought an X800pro over a 6800GT.

CAT4.7 is v8.03, they tested with v8.05

Maybe ATI was sandbagging!

If you actually read the article, they claim that a very good gaming experience can in fact be had even on a GF3 64MB.

Quote:
"If you would have told me a year ago that I could play DOOM 3 on a GeForce 3 64MB video card and 1.8GHz AthlonXP and have a good gaming experience, I would have called you crazy, but that is exactly what we are seeing."

this is an entirely rehashed thread.

Yes, but many of the ATOT crowd never make it past GH so if it's not here they remain clueless

 

[jm0ris0n]

Lol, so very, very true !

 

[AmdInside]

When is Anand going to publish his Doom III benchmarks?

 

[Fuchs]

HAHAH here's another from the day before

Yeah...
ATI will be > NVidia at HL2 im sure.

 

[imported_NoGodForMe]

Chumbo just e-mailed me and said my 6800GT OC has shipped. Whooo Hoooo.
They get their cards in on Thursday and ship them out.
So if you want one, go on their site, order, and it should ship out next Thursday.

Far Cry, I presume. ATI generally beats NVIDIA except in a few selected benchmarks where they're using SM3.0 heavily.

It started with Doom 3.....and now the HL2 results confirm Nvidias lead. The benchmarks are out. The 6800 Ultra smokes the X800XT in HL2 also! Sorry you ATI people maybe next generation.....results are in and there is only one conclusion to be made. The 6800 cards are clearly better due to Nvidias new architecture. All ATI did was take the radeon 9800 and add pipelines...sorry ATI thats not going to cut it.

Link?

Heh, I like video card bigotry. It's like getting passionate about door knobs. Fun to watch, though.

Is this your professional opinion having played both retail copies of these games? Ask your crystal ball how they compare to Unreal 3 for me.

If you really want to compare freedom, compare any game to Ultima VII.

2 gigs isnt a bad idea... it would definately help out your gaming performance to make up for the lack of a 512MB card IMO and you get the performance boost outside of games... big plus to me as I do a lot of mixing and mastering.
