One of Team Radeon staffs contacted ATI to inquiry about the highly debated Doom 3 benchmarks that were recently released, here is what was asked:

"I'm just emailing you because I have alot of confused gamers from both Team Radeon and x-3Dfx about what's really happening in Doom3. What they've been presented paints a relatively poor picture on the x800 Pro and x800 XT PE prompting many fellow gamers (about 400 on Team Radeon and 300 or so on x-3Dfx) to question wether or not they should cancel there pre-orders."

ATI response:

"Hi Richard - this is a non issue - Doom 3 isn't even available yet, and we all know that some of our competitors use partial precision where possible. We expect to have updated drivers available in the coming weeks."

Game's not released, but it is gold, and the final version was used for benchmarking. ATI unfortunately won't have anything for users of x800's on August 3rd when the game ships and everyone wants to play this game.

In the weeks following it's release, only time will tell if ATI can improve performance so that it isn't such a gap. We'll see. Hopefully they'll catch up with some driver magic.
