Carmack on Doom 3 Video Cards

mr_sheel writes "According to a Gamespy interview with John Carmack, Carmack says what he thinks about the video cards with Doom3: ATI Radeon 8500 is a better card, with a nicer fragment path, while NVidia still consistently runs faster due to better drivers. And of course, the GeForce SDR cards will not be "fast enough to play the game properly unless you run at 320x240 or so." And in a ShackNews interview with Carmack, he says that Doom 3 at E3 was only running at medium quality... wow."

    The question, of "how much money will i need so spend on my computer, to play this" is completely pointless. For the price of a Radeon 8500, or NVidia card, i can probably buy an Xbox, GameCube, or PS2, which the title, will almost be forced to come to eventually. Save your money, keep the computers for coding, and the consoles for gaming.
