Well ATI is releasing the Radeon 9700 soon. Best card to date.
At QuakeCon they were able to run it on at 800x600, high detail on a 2.2ghz P4 and 9700. Game must be a little more optimized, cause the R300 (same card, early name) could only handle 640x480 on medium detail.
The NV30, nVidia's new card, would call it the GeForce5, but it's leaving the GeForce series. Anyway, that's gonna come out before Doom. I think later this fall.
Matrox also has a card coming out.
Anyway, these cards are the first to support Direct X 9, and if Doom 3 uses any DX9 features, the graphics will be even better on PC, cause you miss out on that stuff for Xbox.
Anyway, if your PC can handle it, I wouldn't get it on Xbox. And I'm also waiting to upgrade to the best graphics card before it is released. But it won't be out until next summer, so who knows.
I might just get the 9700 or NV30 so I can enjoy better graphics on my current games. I don't even know if I'll be around for Doom 3's release.
