id Software and HardOCP will be publishing more benchmark results from Doom 3 throughout the upcoming week. The results, which were accumulated based on 65 hours of testing, will be revealed in their "DOOM 3 [H]ardware Guide.Brent (Justice) and I (Kyle Bennet) worked about 65 hours or so from Tuesday afternoon till early this morning at id putting together this data. We brought all of our own test equipment and we DID use the DOOM 3 GOLD MASTER for testing along with 61.76s and 8.05s.GF3, TI4600, 5800, 5900, 6800, 680GT, 6800U are all coming this week. As well as 8500, 9600XT, 9800Pro, X800Pro, X800XT. There are probably a couple I missed in there as well.
With Doom 3 coming out, I suddenly have the urge to develop a tweak guide. Wow! I had a similar urge when Quake 3 came out and I eventually published Part 1 and Part 2 of "The Quake 3 Arena Tune Up Guide."You're excited. You just bought a graphics accelerator based on NVIDIA's GeForce 256 (replace with GeForce 6800) and being in a rush to get home, you inadvertently run a few stop lights. You install it in your system, give it a little overclocking luvin', and are ready to show Quake 3 Arena (replace with Doom 3) who's in charge.
Oh, yeah. Bring it on!  |
