I'm an ATI fan myself. I have the 9800 Pro card, and it runs Doom III without any problems on high settings @ 1152x864.

Right now I have an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. I really wish I would have went with the 9800 instead, and on my next computer I might just try a Nvidia.

Get ATi and run the OMEGA driver for it and it should be able to play DOOM3 fine

Doom III runs excellent on the 4.8's.

If this is specifically to play Doom get an nVidia 6800 series, they run Doom 3 better than the ATIs, and i can show you the benchmarks. Although that is not when the ATI are running the new 4.8 drivers, so I'm not entirely sure if that turns the tables.
