According to an article in The Inquirer, the new Doom 3 will push even the GeForce 5900 Ultra to it's limits. The game is so demanding that high resolutions will not work with all the eye candy turned on.
Read the whole article here.Now, with the launch of the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra last week we've actually gotten to see our most modern video cards in action and the results are a bit sobering. It looks like Doom 3 is going to be the game that finally shatters the hardware vs. 3D engine supremacy that's been the case for years, and not even the highest-end cards available may be able to run it in 1600x1200x32 with all the eye candy turned on and AA / AF tossed in to boot. That right there, if you stop and think about it, is a turn-around from what we're used to seeing these days. Making matters worse, the game prefers NVIDIA video cards over ATI cards so much at this point it's not even funny. ATI had best hope that the reason the GF FX series cleans the Radeon's clock so brutally is because of a driver error, because if it isn't NVIDIA is going to gain a massive benefit from gamers looking to upgrade for the game.
