A massive demonic invasion has overwhelmed the Union Aerospace Corporations’ (UAC) Mars Research Facility leaving only chaos and horror in its wake. As one of the few survivors, you struggle with shock and fear as you fight your way to Hell and back, in an epic clash against pure evil.

Activision made it's miracle again with Doom 3 which is said to be the best-looking game ever, thanks to the brand-new OpenGL graphics engine used to generate its convincingly lifelike, densely atmospheric, and surprisingly expansive environments. If you are a fan of the previous Doom games then you will get many flashbacks with this revision, since you will find reimagined versions of almost every monster from both Doom and Doom II.

To measure performance on the game we used the timedemo demo1 command from the console (Alt+Ctrl+~).
Enabling the high quality setting and executing the timedemo demo1 command twice for each resolution, we witnessed the following:

First, without the Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering settings enabled, we got the following results:

Let's see how the cards perform with Doom3. Both AA and AF are off and the max framerates reported under 1600x1200 are 93.7 frames per second for the AOpen card, to the 97.9 fps for the ASUS. Really nice performance in comparison to the previous generation graphics card, where at the highest possible resolution, the difference in framerate becomes quite significant.

All advanced features enabled and the two 7800 cards reported more or less similar results. In comparison to the other two cards, there is a noticeable difference at the highest resolution which makes for very enjoyable gameplay. Great performance.
