The latest discussion all over the internet seems to be Doom III (understandable, the game will rock from all the movies I have seen) and John C's remarks on 3dcards.
Our own forum this is one of the hottest topics:
NVidia has been stellar in terms of driver quality and support and doing all of the things right, says Carmack, who has been an outspoken evangelist for NVidias GeForce technology. For the past few years, they have been able to consistently outplay ATI on every front. The problem is that they are about one-half step out of synch with the hardware generation because they did Xbox instead of focusing everything on their next board. So they are a little bit behind ATI.
I told everyone that I was going to demonstrate Doom III on the best hardware, and there has been no collusion or kickbacks or anything like that going on. Our objective is the technical merit.
The new ATI card was clearly superior. I dont want to ding NVidia for anything because NVidia has done everything they possibly could; but in every test we ran, ATI was faster.

Now our own Reverend has asked John C a number of questions, which are described by Rev like this:
"Questions to Carmack on low polies on models and other things"
