Recycling Level, Pure Mode

In our “Recycling” demo we finally entered the Mars’ surface just to fight two demons and enter the known narrow corridors of doom to massacre another plethora of monsters.

NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800-series hardware clearly outperforms ATI’s RADEON X800-series in Doom III. Take 1280x1024 resolution and more or less finalized drivers: the GeForce 6800 Ultra beats ATI’s RADEON X800 XT by about 46% and even the GeForce 6800 manages to leave ATI’s top offering behind by approximately 8.5%!

The drivers that are to be released either in late August or September do deliver higher performance figures compared to another beta drivers used originally, but still ATI’s RADEON X800-series of visual processing units is behind the rivals among the GeForce 6800 family.
