Doom3 can run on an XBOX. You'll be fine. Seriously man, read some articles and reviews out there.
Sigh, Carmack said it himself. That's how I know (I was at Qcon 2002 as well).Originally posted by laja
That's very probably wrong. The makers of HL2 have repeatedly emphasized that the game will run on relatively old hardware. Doom3, by contrast, is said to be much more demanding. No specifics there, but the previews indicate that.
It wasn't a press release. It was what Carmack specifically said during his techno speech at Qcon.Originally posted by 2phastPRO
And guys...screw the press releases and Qcon. They're there to simply shut us up.

If I remember correctly, the multiplayer demo of Doom III that many gaming sites and magazines played at QuakeCon was run at 640x480 on a 5600 Ultra. I'll post a link of I find one.

Deus Ex 2 pulls off many of the same lighting tricks that D3 will do and it runs on the xbox. Not at a stellar framerate, but it does run, so D3 on the xbox is certainly possible.
In general, D3 is going to be a fillrate whore with only a few pixel shaders. And in the whole ATi vs nVidia debate, I think at least on the top end cards, nVidia is going to win with D3 simply because the 5900's have more raw fillrate.
Edit: Forgot to mention. nVidia's 5900's also have UltraShadow which is probably why there is a big gap between the 9800 and 5900 in the benchmarks and also why nVidia hardware is using a special codepath. So any ATi fanboy who sais nVidia's inferior because they arn't using ARB2 code, tell them to STFU, cus its realy because Carmak just wanted to exploit nVidia's hardware more.
Not doubt you heard about GeForce FX fiasco in Half-Life 2. In your opinion, to are these results representative for future DX9 games (including Doom III) or is it just to special houses of HL2 tails preferring ATI features, as NVIDIA suggests?
Unfortunately, it will probably be representative of most DX9 games. Doom has to custom back end that uses the lower precisions on the Gf-fx, but when you run it with standard fragment programs just like ATI, it is to lot slower. The precision doesn' t really matter to Doom, but that won' t be to reasonable option in future games designed around DX9 level hardware as to minimum spec.

NOTE* - If you want HL2 and D3, upgrade your pc, and get a $250+ video card.

That is so totally ignorant it's beyond belief. That alpha version was NEVER meant for public consumption. It was meant to run on one specific computer well enough to not have visual slowdown. That computer was a P4 w/ 9700 pro. Anything other than that computer and it will really run like shit.Originally posted by theNoid

This thread will soon further degenerate into a small flamewar based on past quotes, outdated web articles and speculation. From there terms like fanboi, nazi, lamer and "that's so ghey" are used to the point where the thread collapses under it's own weight, then forms a black hole from which posters memories of this thread are then sucked in. Posters, having lost their memory then post another D3 vs HL2 thread asking the same questions causing the cycle to continue over and over again.
