Videocard Benchmarks: Doom 3

ID Software Doom 3 1.3

Source: id Software

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.

The Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2900XT does well in Doom 3 at 1600x1200, but isn't able to outperform the Geforce 8800GTX. Overclocking both videocards under CrossFire doesn't really change the situation, so perhaps it's indicative of a driver issue?
