Doom 3 |
id Software's games have long been pushing the limits of 3D graphics. Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3 were all instrumental in the success of 3D accelerators on the PC. Now, years later, with virtually every new desktop computer shipping with a 3D accelerator, id is at it again with the release of the visually stunning Doom 3. Doom 3 is an OpenGL based game that uses extremely high-detail textures and a ton of dynamic lighting and shadows. We ran this benchmark using custom demos with the game set to its "High-Quality" mode, at resolutions of 1,024 x 768 and 1,600 x 1,200 without any AA and then with 4X anti-aliasing and 8X anisotropic filtering enabled. Note: Doom 3 enabled 8X anisotropic filtering automatically when set to "High Quality" in the game's control panel. |
ATI has done an admirable job optimizing their drivers for higher performance under Doom 3, but they still trail NVIDIA by a decent margin in this game. In our custom single-player Doom 3 benchmark, the All-In-Wonder X800 XT outperformed the Radeon X800 XL but lagged behind the Radeon X850 XT and GeForce 6800 GT at both resolutions, regardless of whether or not anti-aliasing was enabled.
