Doom 3 is locked at 60fps. So on that side you're pretty much out of luck.
Right now, the only card that will solidly get 60fps on Doom 3 at maximum settings is the GeForce 6800 Ultra. That card will set you back a pretty penny, now if that's out of your budget the GeForce 6800GT is just half a step down, and is virtually the same card, just clocked a little slower, it's also gonna really do well at these games. And if the GT is out of your budget, the 6800 is a really nice card at an almost reasonable price. If the 6800 is out there, well, you should wait for the 6600, the GeForce 6 arch really has some big improvements and is heavily desirable over the GeForce 5/fx series.
Although, when Half Life 2 comes out, the ATI X800 XT is probably going to have better framerates because ATI was more in depth with the development (or so says the word on the playground). I used to be a big ATI fan, and ran their cards in all of my machines, but the 6800 really gave the x800 pro a run for it's money, and is quite a bit cheaper an easier to find, so I swapped sides.
