“We’re having a DOOM 3 party this year, and want to offer our fans the first opportunity to compete in a DOOM 3 tournament,” Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software said. “NVIDIA is putting up the largest QuakeCon prize package ever, and topping it off with DOOM 3 prizes that will have the competitors’ adrenaline rushing.”

NVIDIA Corporation, the worldwide leader in graphics processing, is putting up a combined purse of $150,000 in cash and prizes for the three QuakeCon tournaments.

“For gamers, QuakeCon is the most exciting happening of the year, and this year it marks the arrival of DOOM 3 – which is one event we wouldn’t miss!" said Dan Vivoli, executive vice president of marketing for NVIDIA. " NVIDIA's presence at QuakeCon gives gamers an opportunity to test drive the game with NVIDIA's GeForce 6 series, a product family designed to deliver the ultimate DOOM 3 experience to gamers of all budget-levels."
