id Software's Official DOOM3 Benchmarks

The lucky people at [H]ard|OCP got a chance to run idsoftware’s official Doom 3 benchmarks. Want to see how that shiny new card you bought stacks up to the competition? Check it out.

I find this interesting:

“A note on overclocking: it is very likely that overclocked configurations that ‘play everything else perfectly’ will start to show problems on D3 due to new usage patterns. Everyone is of course free to do whatever they want with their own hardware, but don’t complain to us…Talking to John briefly about his overclocking comments made some things clear to us that many enthusiasts will need to be aware of. When he speaks of ‘new usage patterns’ he is literally talking about transistors on some of new GPUs that are going to be used for the first time when you play DOOM 3 on your video card. So be aware that pushing your GPU MHz may get you different results in DOOM 3 than with other games.”
