I know some of you have been disappointed at how narrow the benchmarks were this week. We did a LOT of tests with a lot of CPUs and Video Cards. Brent and I 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.


Hear what ATI have to say about the latest Doom 3 benchmarks.
One of our staff 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:

:hmph: ;) :sniper:
 
Sweet, they've at least tested the 9600xt this time, so I have SOMETHING to kind of gauge by for performance on a Mobile 9700. :)
 
ATi has nothing to complain about as HardOCP clearly states both an NVidia and ATi representative were present.
 
Finally they're bechmarking video cards that people actually have... cool :)
 
I'am really looking forward to the 9800 pro's performance (the Hard OCP was 9800 XT I think) and 9600 XT. Although I know my 9800 pro might run it in 1024 x 768, I'll have to tune it down to 800 x 600 for 40 + FPS (for better performance) and want to see how well my bro's 9600 XT fares, at D3.
 
I hope I dont have to run Doom 3 in 800x600 on my Radeon 9800 pro, I plan on running it at at least 1024x with no AA....

I'm sure that will be possible :) ....... maybe not on the highest detail settings, though.
 
I'm sure the 9800 Pro can display Doom 3 in 1024x794 but i think that you may have to run it in 800x600 if your CPU bottlenecks the Radeon's potentional
 
a Radeon 9600 Pro runs at 35.2 FPS on 1024x768 on Medium Quality. And that benchmark was done over a year ago.

A Radeon 9800XT 4xAA 8xAF runs at 26.9 on High Quality
I don't see what the problem here is? The ATI cards clearly won't work as good as Nvidia cards on Doom 3 but you'll be able to play the game fine just as long as you don't have AA on
 
Actually im betting the 9800pro can pull off 1600x1200, with AA and Af off of course, plus if I cant pull it off on FarCry, im betting Doom3 wont have much of a problem, and maybe ATi hasnt performed as well but I dont even really pay attention to Nvidia anymore since i got my 9800:)
 
Maybe at about 30 frames per second on high quality
 
That's true, Far Cry is DirectX and Doom 3 is OpenGL. I just hope ATI comes out with some new drivers for my 9800Pro to take make Doom 3 a little bit smoother.

Damn, if HL2 had come out first, it'd be the NVidia people worrying :)
 
If either of these games came out last year, there wouldn't have been any NVidia people.
 
The info over at Team Radeon.com has made me feel a lot better about having an x800 pro. When I read some of id's results on their testing I was a bit worried but now that they seem to be looking into it reassures me a bit.
 
9800Pro will work just fine, in the original benchmarks they showed that the 9800XT (almost identical to the Pro), pulled 45 fps on 1024, high details, and 8xAF. With the pro, if you turn of the AF you should be fine and if you do have to turn down the res, wait for HL2 and then feast your eyes on the game with everything maxed.

For this is what Talkien said about Half Life 2:

One Game to rule them all, One Game to find them,/ One Game to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

You shouldn't have been worried, the 6800gt may be faster than an x800xt in Doom3, but not in any other games coming out, and the x800pro is on par.


I am confused by the Ati marketing guy's comments about "a certain competitor only using partial precision" when John Carmack removed all _pp tags in Doom3 for the Nv30 and Nv40 cards. The benchmarks at Hardocp were far, and both were rendering to the "same" quality, Ati does have that Brilinear cheat though.

It still will - as soon as HL2 goes gold and ATI/valve release benchmarks, nVidia has to start working on drivers that give good performance with Direct X games for the FX 5xxx series. Not everyone has a 6800, they should know.

Just a correction to what i said, the Arb2 path that all of the r3xx, x800, nv3x and nv4x cards use does support partial precision. I would presume that the nv30 (5800) does use lots of partial precision, the nv35 (5900) uses it in a lot of cases as well, but not as much as the nv30, and the nv40 uses it in far, far less cases. Hopefully fp16 was only used in cases where the difference in quality between fp16 and fp32 can't be seen and full fp32 used in all other cases for the Nv40 and Nv35.

exactly, it was done over a year ago, which is exactly why it is in no way accurate now.
 
Worse, I'd say. A whole lot of things can happen to a game in a year - Doom 3 seems to have improve a lot. The alpha had a John carmack look-alike evil scientist (pretty lame) but the new vids show some new evil scientist guy who looks much cooler. That's just one major story/character change so you can imagine the new technical changes.
 
Not to mention that the game and engine are probably more optimised for good performance for a huge range of systems, and might even run better.
 
I hope I can run on medium settings with my 9600.

Lol Sparta...I love the avatar.

Well, according to the "alpha" which should be taken at least 10% in account - I'd say if you have 9600XT and at the medium settings of D3 which give Far cry (high settings) a run for it's money at 1024 x 768 with dynamic shadows on - I'd say about 30 FPS is possible. With no AA or AF, of course.

However, I could be 90% wrong.
 
The alpha was totaly unoptimized. It wasn't even an alpha.
 
Sorry guys, but do u need to registerthere to see the benchmarks? where are they?

Just go to www.hardocp.com and look around, it's there, on the main page

I think you didn't bother to read through the whole thread, did you? :hmph:

Yes, we are aware that HARDOCP has the benchmarks, but for people who have 6800s and X800s - which sums up the 2% of the gamers. They did mention 9800XT and 5900, but most want to know how it'll perform for other low-end graphic cards.

You've got to say it in a whiney voice!
