I'll see it when I believe. Though this would be very welcome. It's sad to see a card that retails at $500 (X800 XT) to be on par with $300 card (6800 regular) in OpenGL. Hoping that this will bring some improvement to 9x00 series as well. PS. Not intended to start " card(s) is(are) better for " thread.

ATI waits until a month after the game's release? What's up with that? It's not like Doom III appeared out of nowhere and not a surprise it would be a popular game.

ID might have locked ATi out because of the alpha leak?

Possibly.. otherwise doom 3 support would have been in CAT 4.8s Dont see any other reason why they would have to wait until after its out.
