only reason why the gf appears to be faster than the radeon in doom 3 is that doom 3 uses a lower precision mode for the gf card

Benchmark tests have shown that in games and pure benchmarking programs (3D Mark) the 9800 and 5900 are shoulder to shoulder. The FX wins in half the tests, and the 9800 wins in half the tests. It simply depends on which games you want to play. Either card is a good choice, but the fact that you can find FX 5900's for less than $200 is definitely a strong point for NVIDIA. I think ATI will begin selling the Radeon 9800's at $200 pretty soon, they've been falling in price!
