What does the "Q" stand for?

[tieros]

There's a new link on the "Are You Ready" site, with a blurb from John Carmack.

Not much in the way of new info, but it's interesting to see his comments, especially after his E3 display with the 9700.

I'm guessing Q = Quotes

Not much in the way of new info is correct. I recognize the last part of the quote from JC from some material released about 2-3 months back.

yup that statement was made before the e3 display of doom on a r9700.

I though DOOM 3 was optimized for the 9700, why would nVidia put up a Carmack interview there then?

Well that is simply a false information. Don't know from where you got it.
But doom3 was mostly developed on a GF3. Some months back J.C. said that the majority of employees working on the doom3 project use GF4TI cards.
I think because J.C presented Doom3 on a Radeon9700 at the E3 everyone thought it is optimized for the Radeon9700.

Doom3 has different rendering paths for different graphics chips.
There is a rendering path for NV20, NV30, R200, a standard OpenGL rendering path and i don't know maybe some more.
I am not sure if there is a rendering path for R300. If not R300 will use the R200 rendering path. Because R300 has only 1 TMU per pipe that shouldn't be a problem.

Q is a superpowerful being in Star Trek, like a god. So , JC=God :D
