With drivers the way they are, it is likely that doom3 will run just about as good as it runs now, even if Carmack does take pity on it and writes an optimized renderpath.

I couldn't even get it to work at all. So much corruption...Comment

there is always things that can be done tomake a game run better on older cards its just a matter if they wanna take the time or not.Comment

The P ist in the Alpha as fast as a Voodoo4 4500... both stucking at 1-5 fps.System:
P III-S 1.4@1.52
512 MB SDR-Ram
Gigabyte-6IEML
Matrox Parhelia

Looking at the alpha I viewed, there is an optimised path for Parhelia...
Frame rate was very low... but not awful. This is an alpha that runs slow on most things...Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, Pentium 4 3GHz, 2Gb DDRRAM, Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ 512MB, Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital, 3x Iiyama 4637 18.1" TFTs, Audigy 2 ZS, Matrox RT.x100, Silentmaxx Acoustic CaseComment

carmack just added some stuff in the beginning when the P just arrived to stress the 256bit memory path and look at its advantages, it's not actually an optimised path.Comment

it is highly unlikely that it is an optimized path, for a couple reasons... it is also highly unlikely that any of his benchmarking code is in that build...
he probably just had the framework in for a parhelia optimized renderpath, not that it would really give that much of a performance advantage..."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make?
