I think there were some concerns that a whole new era of graphics cards would need to be made for Doom 3, and other games using that engine. But it seems to me now with the way the drivers are being written, and the capacity of the current GPU/RAM over PCIE or SLI, that we are probably seeing an alignment of video processability versus the industry graphics technology. Doom 3 was and still is the benchmark for graphics technology. Now its the consumers that are trying to catch up to be at their level. Just when everyone is about to get there, that's when they'll release the new hardware. By then, it could be a couple of years before another game hits a milestone in technology like Doom 3 did.
I think HL2 is more the standard than Doom3.. at least you can see stuff in HL2.
I don't think he was talking about eye candy. I think he was talking about how a game taxes a GPU.
Both companies, Nvidia and ATi can run HL2 a HELL (no pun intended) of a lot easier than they can Doom3.
He is talking engines here, not how nice nice the game is. At least that's what I'm getting out of it.
