What graphic card will show Doom 3 at E3?

[Jammrock]

id Software announced, along with Activision being the worldwide distributor for, Doom 3 would be shown at E3 this year. The big quesiton now is, which graphic card will Carmack use? Carmack has traditionally been a big matrox fan because of their Linux support and excellent video quality...

Is that a trick question?

Wasn't Doom 3 designed basically around nVidia chips just because of their massive market share when it comes to gamers rigs? If not, subtract one from the "nVidia" votes

They might be displaying it in rather a unique way

Hmm as my mind wanders does anyone remember an early release of the original DOOM that had support for 4 monitors I think it was. Front, left, right and behind views, or was that just front, left and right. Kind of neat but I don't think anything could actually run it at the time and they removed it in later releases.

Maybe they needed to wait for more powerful GFX cards before it would work well enough.

I wonder where someone might find such a card if they needed it soon™?
