DOOM 3 deal!

[Tom]

Any chance the actual game will be any good, or is it just going to be a 3d engine ?
:evil:

So what, all ATI has to do is release some driver updates and it will be optimised for ATI also.

But break a bunch of other games in typical ATI fashion, no thanks I'll stick with Nvidia

Break a bunch of other games? Ati's video cards lately have been better than nvidia, and so have their drivers, imo... I had a gf3 that some of their latest drivers wouldn't even work with so I said screw Nvidia and tried ATI... That might change with the next set of video cards, guess I won't know till they are out though.

Seems like a simple paid endorsement to me. No mention or even hint that FX hardware will run Doom 3 better than anything else.

*shrug* Independent benchmarks and image tests will show us the best video card to use with Doom 3. Still, id might see a few raised eyebrows if ATi stuff runs the game better than NVs.

*snicker*

Wouldn't be the first.

Remember that Tomb Raider : AoD was a "Way it's meant to be played" game that runs worse on nVidia hardware.

Was just going to say that. Even though this is just another paid endorsement by Nvidia to put their name on the games box. Ati has done the same before and games have had worked perfectly fine for both cards.

Yes, and you don't get D3 for free when you buy a Nvidia card. You only get to see their name in the beginning of the game.
