id Software's Official DOOM3 Benchmarks
 

The folks at id Software have been kind enough to share with us benchmarks from the upcoming DOOM 3. We look at NVIDIA's and ATI's finest in a head to head comparison.

oeps.
it looks as if the x800xt is grinded in the dust by the 6800 ultra...


aaah who cares.
where the hell can you get an ultra in europe...
nowhere

until the next ATI catalyst release :)

probably :)
I love your optimism, you made my afternoon a bit brighter :D



= playable with nice settings, on our oced cpu's 1280*1024 hi quality 4*aa 8*af will be playable. :) GREAT!

I just don't get it...how do you compare the whoopass the radeons get here to this...



on farcry engine at 1600*1200 and extreme quality we get whoopass of 6800 ultra ...

see performance of 6800 with FC 1.2 to see less whoopass :)

Ati Technologies Inc



Nvida


Chart URL don't work; What is says is out look for ATI is much better than Nvidia.

links/img not working?

It's like AMD and Intel;

I put my money on AMD.

ATI and Nvidia;

I put my money on ATI.;)

Been wrong before.

it's nice to see an underdog win, but this time around nVidia has the best buy with the 6800GT!

Idsoftware gets my support

http://www.freerecordshop.be/shop/co...l/akties/doom/

pre-ordered as well :)

$80 = €65

and I don't have to go the a Belgian shop.. this is great =)

ordered one there too

You pay to much JMke, always buy @ http://www.dvdboxoffice.com

Doom3: 44.88€ no shippingcosts;)

I pre-ordered at www.proxis.be:

€ 53,95 + a tin demon is included.

I have VERY bad experiences with Proxis.be , so I'd rather skip that one:)

so €65 for Game + Collector's item is pretty swell, and with any luck it'll be here before the game arrives in Belgium :p

Could you give me more info about your experiences...

ordering product A, receiving product B. resending the product which was delivered by error, and never getting refunded, or getting the correct product.
Ordering product A, and having to wait 6+ months. Ordering several books and only receiving halve, and having paid for all of them... etc etc

have 10x better experience with Amazon.com in the US, then with Proxis here in BE :/

placed 3 times an order @ proxis.be , never received a thing.

Don't you have to pay import tax for http://www.dvdboxoffice.com or amazon.com?

depends; sometimes it slips through, sometimes it doesn't.

But normally you pay in advance, what happened with your money?

Did you not receive it because it did not arrive as a fault of the Belgian Postal Service? In the past I had the experience that 2 of my packages never arrived (things not ordered from proxis), only reason can be that the stuff must have been stolen by the Postal Service. A few month's ago they arrested an employee that had stolen an enormous amount of cd's.

The firm from which I purchased always sends a new package though.

No you dont have to pay taxes @ dvdboxoffice and the regular shipment is free (it takes about a week).

It cost you 8€ to ship from canada to belgium in 2 days;)

In Ultra quality, we load each texture; diffuse, specular, normal map at full resolution with no compression. In a typical DOOM 3 level, this can hover around a whopping 500MB of texture data. This will run on current hardware but obviously we cannot fit 500MB of texture data onto a 256MB card and the amount of texture data referenced in a give scene per frame ( 60 times a second ) can easily be 50MB+. This can cause some choppiness as a lot of memory bandwidth is being consumed. It does however look fantastic :-) and it is certainly playable on high end systems but due to the hitching that can occur we chose to require a 512MB Video card before setting this automatically.


PLAYABLE ON HIGH END SYSTEMS...
hopefully a 3 ghz a64 fx with a pelt cooled voltmodded x800xt-pe and a raptor and 1 gig of ram will classify as high end, maybe I'd better get another gig of ram ;)

we'll your at it, get a gig for me too ;)

Kmelectronic offers a 6800GT bundled with Doom 3 for 425 euro... another interesting buy. :)

that's a nice combo

JMKe, are you also staying ON HOLD at ebgames?

it's quite normal that it IS on hold.. the game isn't released yet?

no... it is on hold awaiting creditcard verification...
that's sth totally different.

they say : we may require more info from you.
for 6 days.

"Order is temporarily on hold for authorization. We may contact you for further information."

I have no problem with that, I'm 100% legit, maybe they don't get that many international orders and they want to verify some things :)

as long as I get the game on time.. I don't care:)

cancelled order & got pre-ordered at Proxis.be for €54
