We've all seen the nVidia may have "cheated" with their FX drivers and 3DMark, evident by the FX outclassing the 9800 in 3DMark but not other directX benchies...
but what about DOOM3? I mean, look at all the D3 benchmarking with the FX versus the 9800.
fook 3DMark... if the FX straight up beats the 9800 in DOOM3, then the FX wins in my eyes, since DOOM3 (and thus Quake4) is all that really matters to me (in the gaming world).

To make an excruciatingly long story...not so long, we built a machine here to test DOOM 3 on. However, due to strenuous hardware security measures taken by id and NVIDIA to protect the DOOM 3 data from leaks, we were not able to use the scripted tools that were to make our benchmarking much speedier. To outline the facts we: A. Benchmarked on hardware put together and owned by HardOCP. B. Benchmarked using a demo recorded by id at the id offices the day of the benchmarking previously unseen by NVIDIA. c. No scripting language coded by NVIDA was used.
