En tout cas, voici ce que je viens de lire :

The recently released DOOM 3 was put to the test to examine these improvements, and the differences between the test machine running Mac OS X 10.3.8 and the same machine running the latest 10.4 Beta are drastic.
The test machine was reportedly a 1st-generation Dual 2.0 GHz Power Mac G5 with 1 GB RAM and was built BTO with a Radeon 9800 Pro.
As we already know, the performance of DOOM 3 for Mac in comparison to its Windows counterpart is a little depressing - but those tests were on a Mac running Panther. The test machine was able to crank out an acceptable, yet somewhat lackluster performance by running the game at somewhere between 20-30 FPS at 800x600 on High quality.
On the same test machine, now running Tiger, saw an incredible performance boost. A clean install of both the latest Tiger beta (8A414) and DOOM 3 saw a steady 35-40 FPS at 1024x768 on High quality, with 2x Anti-aliasing enabled. Quite an improvement.
What we are unsure of is whether it is one of these new Tiger graphics technologies or some other under-the-hood improvement that is offering this performance boost, or whether it is just an improved graphics driver that is helping out this fantastic, yet taxing game.
We are having more tests done and will post those results as they are finalized.

Pour les non-anglophones : Sur un G5 Bi-2 Ghz, 1 Go RAM + Radeon 9800 Pro Apple 128 Mo (pas la Box Mac SE 256)
-> Avec Panther : 20-30 FPS en 800x600 High quality FSAA off
-> Avec Tiger : 35-40 FPS en 1024x768 High quality FSAA activé en x 2
Il semblerait que Tiger vienne à la rescousse des configs plus modestes (à prendre avec toutes les précautions d'usage, bien sûr )
