Official Doom 3 Benchmarks Released

Rogerpq3 writes "Before the game goes on sale, id Software has been kind enough to release some benchmarks for DOOM 3 with the latest video cards on the market from NVIDIA & ATI. HardOCP has published the five page article which should help anyone trying to decide if they should upgrade their video card for DOOM 3. There's also an introductory note from John Carmack, mentioning: 'The benchmarking was conducted on-site, and the hardware vendors did not have access to the demo before hand, so we are confident that there is no egregious cheating going on.', and the HardOCP writers comment: 'As of this afternoon we were playing DOOM 3 on a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 box with a GeForce 4 MX440 video card and having a surprisingly good gaming experience.'"

    I have decided since I recent some funds acquired am have going to, of course, buy new PC. Alienware ships here, and I am software guy; don't build my own computer. Doom 3 would be only reason I want upgrades.

    Just because you want it to be true, doesn't make it true. Gore lost. Grow up. Get over it.

    gore won, he's just not the president.
    Evrybody, regardless of who they vore for, should have been shocked and apalled at how the Florida situation was handled.

    There should have been a re-vote, plain and simple. When it's that close, and the fact that people where tunred away, and the fact that a clearly punched chad didn't count because it was dangeling, and the number of votes that were not counted, and the fact that one of the people running had a brother as governer of the state, you need to do a recount.
