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 game using extremely high-detailed textures and a ton of dynamic lighting and shadows. We ran this benchmark using custom demos with Doom 3 set to its "High-Quality" mode, at resolutions of 1,024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 without any AA and then with 4X antialiasing and 8X anisotropic filtering enabled. Note: Doom 3 enabled 8X anisotropic filtering automatically when set to "High Quality" in the game's control panel. |
With Doom 3 single player testing, the two X700 Pros finished within a couple of frames per second of each other. There was less than a 3 FPS difference at 1024x768 and even less at 1280x1024. With the AA/Aniso testing, each card mirrored the other, although both struggled even at 1024x768.
