Doom III 5900U v 9800Pro

[HomerEBW]

Since Doom III uses OpenGL, would the 5900U perform better with Doom III than the 9800Pro?

Nobody knows, wait until the game is released.

With driver "optimizations" who knows? Check after the game is released.

according to Id - no matter what hardware you have it will suck to play thier new game. Or at least that's what they've been saying for the past 5 years... <sigh>

I imagine either one will fare well enough.

Peace,

According to Anandtech's D3Alpha benchmarks at Medium detail, the 5900 Ultra outperformed the 9800PRO by around 20-25% with AA/AF enabled, and around 35-40% with AA/AF disabled.

D3Alpha benchmarks

I wouldn't really pay attention to those numbers, I am sure some optimizations have been made since then...

If Doom 3 incorporates the shadow technology in the 5900, then I think nVidia may very well
have the upperhand...but most likely we wont be able to tell a difference.

We'll have to wait a few days after the realease when websites post their findings and when
[H] post their real world gameplay benches (if they do at all).

Wern't the ATI drivers at the time of that review pretty much broken when it came to running the Alpha? Getting the same low fps all at all resolutions?

hi homer

I thought I heard that doom3 benchmarks were coming out this week, but that didn't happen. I hope we'll get some info before the game is out. Carmack said that nvidia was his platform of choice...I'm guessing nvidia will take a small lead at least due to the fact that it's opengl

 

[HomerEBW]

Thanx for the info guys. I can't wait for this game.

Hey Jim.

That was the HardOCP preview, Anandtech used different drivers.

If the OpenGL trend follows then Nvidia will take the lead.

 

[Ultra Wide]

We should wait until the game comes out, but I am sure that ATi will perform just as well as Nvidia.
