10. Doom 3
Asus Extreme N6800GT - 10 - Doom 3
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.

Doom 3 is well known for its fondness of Nvidia cards and the results prove this claim once again. The Asus N6800GT had no trouble beating the flagship of ATi in performance under any resolution.
Enabling Anisotropic Filtering and Anti Aliasing, the listing remains unchanged. The X850 XT from Club3D, although delivering a respectable number of fps is once again outperformed by our N6800GT. However, the difference between the two high-end cards is now smaller due to the X850XT's much higher fill rate which favors it in situations like these.
