Doom 3 is the most advanced OpenGL game to date, it
takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing
power of the CPU to its absolute limits. At its highest setting Ultra quality,
texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrows videocards will
have a hard time running everything. The framerates in the game itself are
locked at 60 fps so anything above that
point is wasted. Each test is run three times and with the third run being
recorded.

There are
rumors on the web that Doom 3 heavily favors nVIDIA videocards, whether that's
true or not I don't know. In these tests the Asus AX800XT/TVD is clearly slower
than the Albatron GeForce 6800GT videocard.
