Download Doom 3 For Mac
For more Doom 3 benchmarks, please read. On Friday Aspyr Media Inc. Announced that its Macintosh conversion of id Software's first person shooter Doom 3 had and was expected to begin shipping in mid-March. We've spent the past few days with that GM, playing it on one of the fastest Mac gaming rigs you buy right now, and we've got some numbers to share with you.
Download Doom 3 for Mac OS X. If you are in for some horror or science fiction game, then Doom 3 is just the right game for you. Whether you intend to play this as a single player or with friends, surely, you would have a great time.
The results are eye-opening. So what's the big deal? If you're not a hardcore gamer, you may be wondering why we're making such a big deal out of this one game. It's a good question, and the answer is because it's not just about this one game. Doom 3 is bound to sell a lot of copies -- id Software is hugely respected by gamers and the PC version of this game has had a lot of exposure during its development over the past few years. In fact, you may remember that id Software's own John Carmack several years ago took the Macworld Expo keynote stage with Steve Jobs, in Tokyo, Japan, to demonstrate the core technology that powers this game.
But more importantly than that, id's gaming technology is licensed to other game developers. So by bringing Doom 3 to the Macintosh, Aspyr Media has paved the way for other games using the same technology to come to the Mac more easily and inexpensively in the future.
And a look at Doom 3's performance may be a good indicator of how those future games will run on the Mac. Our test setup First, a little bit on our gaming rig: It's a Power Mac G5 2.5GHz dual processor model, equipped with 2.5GB of RAM and ATI's new Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition graphics card -- the fastest ATI card you can get on the Mac, equipped with 256MB VRAM.

We tried the game on an ADC-equipped 22-inch Apple Cinema Display and a 17-inch CRT-based Apple Studio Display connected with a DVI to VGA adapter. We used the Studio Display to report 1600 x 1200 performance, a higher resolution than the Cinema Display could produce, and we double-checked its performance at the same resolutions as the Cinema Display to make sure there wasn't any difference.

The system was running Mac OS X10.3.8 -- the minimum operating system requirement for Doom 3, since that particular release features some improvements to Apple's OpenGL drivers that help improve performance for games like Doom 3. All tests were performed in full-screen mode, with no other applications running in the background. All tests were made using Doom 3's timedemo demo1 command, accessible through its built-in console. The tests were performed at resolutions from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200, running with and without Full-Scene Anti Aliasing (FSAA). FSAA a technique that helps smooth the jagged edges of polygons, providing a more realistic look. Many gamers like to run with FSAA turned on, especially at lower resolutions.

FSAA causes a performance penalty, as you can see, and frankly, we think it has diminishing returns in Doom 3 -- so much of the game is in dark and dimly lit spaces, anti-aliasing jagged edges don't make it look any better. Anisotropic filtering -- which improves the visual quality of textures on surfaces that are viewed at an angle -- was left at its default setting (for this video card), 8x. We found that fiddling with this setting had a negligible effect on frame rates, so we left it at 8x for our tests. Here's what we saw.
