DOOM III
We have been playing around with the leaked demo for a few months already and while it is far from being a benchmark, we found that using the last screen of the E3 Demo1 gives very reproducible frame rates that, moreover, strongly vary with the capabilities of the graphics cards. Everything was left at the default setting, that is full screen and 640 x 480 x 32 bpp resolution and color depth.

For the rest of out benchmarks, we changed our strategy in that we used the "Balanced image quality" as well as the "Highest Quality" meaning that we were runnig at 4X AA and 16X anisotropic filtering (AF)
Average frame rates at 1280 x 1024 x 32 (sound disabled) at either the "Balanced" (blue) or "Quality" (red) setting. At the Balanced setting, the system performance is the bottleneck, whereas forcing 4X AA and 16 X AF causes the graphics card to become the limiting factor which is evident from the performance increase (or lack thereof) when the TACHYON was overclocked. The performance hit occurring beyond 370/340 MHz was consistent from one run to the next.
