Which runs smoother, Half-Life 2 or Doom 3?

HL2 but that's mainly because it's lighting & shadowing system isn't as advanced as Doom 3's.

HL2 of course. And enough with the Hl2 vs D3 crap.

I thought it was that D3 was more dependant on my cpu than video card.

As everyone said, HL2 runs much smoother in general.

Not sure if it's accurate to say that it's because D3's graphics system is superior. They are different game engines entirely and both the product of the latest technology.

I understand that a great deal of effort went into making HL2 more scalable meaning that it would play smoothly a wider array of systems, be they newer and older systems.
The object being that more people would be able to enjoy the game and more people would be interesed in buying it.

They each run fantastically smooth on my AMD 64 3500 Winchester and 6800 Ultra.
