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.'"

ATI leak of Doom III demo by dicepackage · 2004-07-21 16:34 · Score: 1, Troll

Didn't an ATI employee leak the demo for Doom III? If so then this could explain why the game runs so much better on Nvidia cards. If ATI wants to stay in the market for cards aimed at running Doom III then they need to start releases new drivers soon.
