Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on February 07, 2004, 08:12:09 AM: doesn\'t bother to tell u if they\'re 256meg FX cards or 128.

Even so, the high end cards are to expensive. :/

Post by: Blade on February 07, 2004, 09:33:50 AM: If these benchmarks are true, nVidia has edged ATi in Doom III. (just as ATi edged nVidia in HL2)

Anyways, I\'m definitely going for a R420 or NV40. Forget these cards!

Post by: theomen on February 07, 2004, 01:13:17 PM: Well I have an fx5900 flashed to a 5950, so I\'m not worried about being able run Doom III. Though it is nice to see that it\'ll run it pretty well.

Post by: THX on February 07, 2004, 05:58:59 PM: ?? Where are the 9800XT cards. Those constantly bench higher than the 5950 GF\'s.

Title: Offical benchmarks & requirement for Doom 3 released!
Post by: theomen on February 08, 2004, 12:19:39 PM: probably a P4 3.2 or an AMD 64 3200, just guessing

Post by: Blade on February 08, 2004, 08:07:09 PM: When, 2 years ago? :)

I remember when the GF3 was considered the card to have for D3, back in May of 2001.

Now, it\'ll barely run it.

Post by: KillaX on February 09, 2004, 06:19:33 AM: where is the RAdeon 9700 pro??????? if the R9600 can run it I guess my R9700 pro could.......
Title: Offical benchmarks & requirement for Doom 3 released!
Post by: THX on February 09, 2004, 01:14:55 PM: Yea put the 9700 Pro literally right beneath the 9800. They\' only differ by a small number of frames.
Title: Offical benchmarks & requirement for Doom 3 released!
Post by: theomen on February 09, 2004, 05:06:41 PM: I do find it odd that the 5900 stomps the competition at the higher quality. I mean 9-10fps differance, that\'s pretty big when you\'re only getting 20-30 fps.
