Suprised this hasn't been posted by anyone yet:
Hopefully that'll mean price drops on the current ones before HL2 comes out.

Heh, I could have told you they were releasing a new product soon. Considering I just bought a 9800Pro for $200, that's known as "dumping inventory."Originally posted by KvHagedorn

Well the industry needs to get some Doom III cards into the market. Isn't that turkey supposed to finally fly sometime soon?

interesting, note the low-end next gen for radeon 9000 series... its built on 0.11um...Comment

The thing with Doom3 is that, like every other iD production, Carmack goes on and on about how the "next gen" cards are required to play it... then it's released and you discover that it runs just fine on a Voodoo1.
I mean, Quake3 was supposed to require these uber-cards to run it. Like it was supposed to REQUIRE a Radeon 8500. But it runs fine on virtually ANY card, even TNT2's.

Its because he start playing WAY before he's finished refining the code!

Besides Doom3 will be more a DX8 tech alike (I know it is OpenGL, but the used techniques are more DX8 ones than DX9) - so I guess a fast DX8 card will suffice for it (a GF4 e.g.)Comment

id games are designed to play on all sorts of resolutions, as many hardcore tournament players will play at low res for best performance. So you can play the game on older cards, but to play the game with all eye-candy and features on at tournament grade speeds ... THEN you need the uber card.
Plus I think Carmack underestimates just how good of a programmer he is. I've read interviews with people who have worked with him and they all say he's absolutely the best programmer in the industry, hands down. With code as efficient as his, I'm sure lots of the older cards will work well with the core aspects of the id games.
