Will Nvidia PWN ATi once Doom III is released?

[IQfreak]

Why does everyone conveniently forget that ATI won 2 of the 3 test done in high-quality mode? That was with completely unoptimized drivers that only used half the memory of the 9800 Pro 256MB card, on Nvidia's own computers, against Nvidia's Doom3-optimized drivers that run a special, lower-quality path. Are you gonna buy a highend card to play at medium quality?

I don't care who PWN'S the videocards... I just want games....I've been holding on to Wolfie ET and MOHAA... I need some new stufff. This video card "optimizations" that these programmers are wasting their time with is making me impatient. Use the Standard Direct X9/OpenGL code and be done with it... leave the optimizations for the specialists (ATI/Nvidia) to finish it. Geez...programmers trying to perfect a game... they always come out with a service patch anyway. Damn man.. D3 is gonna be released next year... and HL2 was going to come out by the end of this month.. now could see a November release date..

Why can't game companies do what ATI did with original Radeon 9700Pro... Don't mention ANYTHING about until it's gone Gold and ready to be shipped in 2 weeks time. :|

My 2 cents on D3. Gameplay should be like max paynes.... run through it once and it's gonna be repetative. MP will save the game... which is always good HL2 will probably have a lot of scenarios in which to beat a level... considering the demo at E3 it's gonna be good
