Doom III

Doom III belongs to the same type of games as the just discussed Chronicles of Riddick : it uses OpenGL and a lot of stencil shadows. Of course, these are far not the best conditions for ATI graphics cards, which have always suffered from the inefficient OpenGL driver. In this case RADEON X1300 PRO suffers an even more devastating defeat than in the previous game: despite high working frequencies it is beaten even by GeForce 6200 in all resolutions. Only in eye candy mode this graphics accelerator manages to catch up with the NVIDIA rival. Just like in the Chronicles of Riddick the minimum acceptable speed is revealed in 1024x768 with disabled FSAA and anisotropic filtering.

The same can be observed in d3dm4 level, although all the testing participants show somewhat better results here.
