DOOM 3 Benchmarks Follow-up

[Jul 24, 2004, 12:43 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Team Radeon has comments from ATI about the recent spate of DOOM 3 benchmarking (story), pointing out the game is not yet available, taking a stab at NVIDIA's precision (in spite of their own "fudging" being questioned by Carmack during the testing), and saying they should have new drivers "available in the coming weeks." There is also a raging Rage3D Discussion on the possibility of an ATI DOOM 3 bundle, supported by some blurry camera phone shots of the associated promotional materials. This rumor is one of those they run through their magic 8-ball in the latest GameSpot Rumor Control/(Mongering) column.

why is D3 faster on 6800 cards?

Jul 24, 2004, 16:53

REMF

but i am only talking about one game. nVidia offered a hardware feature in the 6800 that gave significant performance increases if one structured their rendering engine in a way to accomodate it. D3 did just this. the case of the 5900 was preciosely the opposite, developers had to go out of their way to make up for the deficiencies of the hardware in question, just to get back to normal performance.
