very interesting, the NVIDIA 6800Ultra and 6800GT burn the X800XT-PE,
(40-60 frames at 1600*1200, that is better than expected)

for people with previous cards, the 5950 and 9800 XT also do a great job...

:D great read Jim! loved,
As of this afternoon we were playing DOOM 3 on a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 box with a GeForce 4 MX440 video card and having a surprisingly good gaming experience. Even a subtle jump to an AMD 2500+ with a GeForce 3 video card that is two years old will deliver a solid gaming experience that will let you enjoy the game the way id Software designed it to be. That fact alone should let many of you know that you will not be left behind in experiencing DOOM 3.

:thumbs: will be interesting to see how my AMD2500 and G-force 5600 stack up :rolleyes:
too bad I don't have $284 for the G-6800, or the PS to run it :eek:

hey, your psu can handle the x800, although the money thing... will be a problem. :D

remember, I have a small form factor case (http://www.biostar-usa.com/ideqdetails.asp?model=ideq+200v) that has a 220 power supply. The card may also be a tight fit.

Still a kick ass case for lans and no heat issues either :cool:
