I'm thinking about ordering one of these bad boys. Anybody have one? Good, bad? If you have one and Doom 3, how does it work with it?

Maybe you have installed DX9.0 but using 8.1 instead...but i heard that Doom3 wont work without DX9.0 so...im confused x_x

Well, I have DX9, and it seems to work fine, even though they say it isn't supported, it does work fine:)

Well...a GeForceFx 5700 Ultra is definately a good choice (but only if you dont want to spend much much money on a high-end killer GPU like the new 6800XT...)

The 5700 Ultra is very powerfull and only slighty worse then a 5900 (although i would recommend a 5950 Ultra because the 5700 Ultra wont be sufficient in...a half year?Maybe even less..)
With a good amount of RAM and a strong CPU, you should get good results in Doom3.The GPU is definately powerfull enough to handle the extreme graphics of Doom3.

Edit:
I recommend buying one from the manufacturer > MSI
Best Quality =)

I only have an NVdia GeForce Ti 4200, which is the edition that came before the FX's I think.

Anyway, even those work really well, very easy to install, and such, so I have no doubt that the newer versions will be even better.

I think DOOM 3 should rule with yours though
