256mb 9600XT vs 128mb 9800 in DOOM3

Interesting comparison here. With the never before seen size of the textures in Doom3 could it be that the memory size on vid cards will have such a large impact that this comparison becomes a very close race?

Uh, no.

I'm sure the 9800Pro would take a BIG performance hit if you tried to force the 256MB or 512MB-sized textures on it, but the 9600Pro is just not going to be fast enough to run with the 256MB-sized textures effectively.

i guess you have one. . . . well, the best thing to do is try it with your 9600XT.

id did say even the 8500 would work "fine"; the extra 128MB the XT has over the Pro sure isn't gonna "hurt"
