Quake site PlanetQuake3.net has recently posted an MPEG of a series of testimonials put together by graphics company ATI. The video, which features several representatives of prominent computer game companies, gathers comments on the R300, the processor for ATI's recently announced Radeon 9700.

Among the people who make statements are Chris Dyl of Turbine, responsible for Asheron's Call 2, Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games, makers of Dungeon Siege, and John Carmack of id, who shows off footage of Doom III.

Each person extols the power of the R300 with enthusiasm. Dyl notes that Asheron's Call 2 can be run at full graphics settings with it, Taylor praises ATI's driver support and communication with developers, and Carmack adds that the R300 easily outperforms other cards in terms of performance, quality, and flexibility.

As a side note, the testimonial also includes impressive footage of the above games, particularly Doom III. Gamers who missed the footage shown at E3 can now take a look at it in high quality through the video.

Those interested in downloading the video can find it at PlanetQuake3.net. While quite large, weighing in at 77.38 MB, the video is of excellent quality and is recommended to those wishing to hear praise from industry leaders for ATI's latest as well as catch some incredible Doom III footage.
