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.

I'm very
surprised to see the Asus eXtreme EAX600XT beat the Albatron Trinity PC5900
videocard at 640x480 with low quality settings! When the resolution is turned up
and LoD increased, both cards start to slow down severely.
