and I ran it side by side with Rico's X800 when I built his system, his beat mine by about 10-15fps until I disabled my second monitor, then mine was slightly faster...
All on the same spec'd systems nonetheless.
for price point the x800 is better, but speed was better on the 6800GT
X800 Pro, BTW.
If I'd have had the extra $100 or so, I'd have gone for the nVidia card. I still creamed my card budget, LOL.
It's a nice card, and I like the way it runs Doom.
Speaking of which - I have not been playing it much, and when I do, I clear a few rooms at a time before I get called away. It's kind of a drag to play it that way, but I get to savor the next few rooms. I like using the pistol long-distance on imps and spiders. Unmask, shoot, duck. The chain gun hasn't been used yet, and the neo-"pinkies" are two-shot shotgun kills, just like in the original Doom. I'd love to have the DB-shotty, I'll tell ya. The video disks and stuff I pick up are boring, but the "everything turns red, and you freeze in place when something really creepy is happening" thingy is cool.
I like the visual effects, and the ability to move stuff around. It makes for interesting replay when I move an exploding barrel to right where I know an imp's gonna pop out. Not having secret doors and stuff is weird. All in all, a kewl game.
