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 tomorrow's videocards will have a hard time running everything.
The frame rates 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.

Doom 3 frame rates are very
good indeed, and you can play this beautiful game at 1600x1200 in HQ mode if you
overclock! The MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 pulls away from the Albatron Trinity 6600GT
card at 1600x1200 despite its slightly slower memory clock speed, which is good
news for the future. In this most demanding of 3D tests, we see the
PCI-Express-based Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D finally show a significant advantage
over its AGP siblings.
