Again, due to excessive time requirements to gather numbers for each resolution and two AA configurations, based on my ATI AIW
Radeon 9800 Pro's performance based on my Catalyst 4.7 results, I decided to pick 800x600 to work with.
Legend/key:
Baseline default = P4 at stock speed (2.4 GHz), RAM timing at 2-7-3-3, no video card overclocking
3 GHz + RAM speed = P4 overclocked to 3.0 GHz with FSB at 250 MHz, RAM timing at 2-5-3-2, RAM at 200 MHz, no video card
overclocking
Max OC = Maximum overclocking allowable without any voltage increases and use of stock air cooling and without any
stability/artifact problems. P4 overclocked to 3.08 GHz with FSB at 256.6 MHz, RAM timing at 2-5-3-2, RAM at 205 MHz, video card
overclocked with core at 400.5 MHz, memory: 353.25 MHz
FPS numbers and bigger graphs ported over from Excel here.
With Catalyst 4.9 beta driver installed, my Doom 3 performance has climbed to new heights, higher than Catalyst 4.7 driver, but
a barely any better than Catalyst 4.8. The comparison between Catalyst 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 beta driver performances can be seen on the
next page.
