DOOM 3





A look at DOOM 3 performance confirms the findings on the previous page. Remember, that both PowerColor X800 GTs here run with 8 pixel pipelines. That's why performance, when compared to a 12-pipe GTO, looks a touch shabby. What's troubling in this context is the fact that an Radeon X800 GTO 256MB retails at around Ā£120, which is below the price of both the Xtreme and, obviously, Tide Water X800 GTs from PowerColor.

However, performance at 1280x1024 (with no AA and 8x AF) is reasonable enough.
