Carmack on Doom 3 Video Cards

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the take-note-hemos dept.

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."

    Heh, well to an extent I agree with you. I find game consoles in general to be a better value than new video cards. However, the pivotal point of this argument is that I also prefer console games to PC games in most cases.

    A user who prefers PC games would think you're a loon for suggesting that. Remember, games are what you play, not graphics.

  6. HOW ABOUT SOME LOWERCASE MUSIC TOO? by assmeat · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Lowercase music, this wonderful new style of music, is easy, and so beautiful! I just had to contribute. Listen to my interpretation and try to get a sense of how I feel about lowercase music.
