One of Team Radeon staffs contacted ATI to inquiry about the highly debated Doom 3 benchmarks that were recently released, here is what was asked:
"I"m just emailing you because I have alot of confused gamers from both Team Radeon and x-3Dfx about what"s really happening in Doom3. What they"ve been presented paints a relatively poor picture on the x800 Pro and x800 XT PE prompting many fellow gamers (about 400 on Team Radeon and 300 or so on x-3Dfx) to question wether or not they should cancel there pre-orders."
ATI response:
"Hi Richard - this is a non issue - Doom 3 isn"t even available yet, and we all know that some of our competitors use partial precision where possible. We expect to have updated drivers available in the coming weeks."
