Benchmarks: Doom 3

Doom 3

Source: id Software

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 is a very complex game and since the PowerColor X800 GTO only has 128MB of DDR memory, it does not perform very well at all. High quality mode at 1024x768 resolution is decent I guess, but anything else is simply too much for this mainstream PCI Express videocard. Overclocking does not help the X800 GTO's situation.
