I can't tell you the FPS because....
I don't have all these cards to test. My processors, disks, and memory
are probably different from yours. And so on.

I would suggest looking at the large video card roundups done at
www.tomshardware.com or www.anandtech.com to get an idea of
how these cards compare to each other.

I suspect that the Nvidia 5700s would be the best choices from your
list. However, none of these cards are terribly capable by the standards
of a new and demanding game like Doom 3. I would suggest saving up
and buying something along the lines of a Radeon 9800 Pro or an Nvidia
6600 GT.

===============================
"Did I see the shade of a sailor / On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship/ As I squinted my eyes in the rain
For the ship had turned into the wind/ Against the storm to brace
And underneath the sailor's hat/ I saw my father's face"

That's a hard question to answer without other information like what
resolution you'd like to use, etc.

Here's one oldish article:

The lowest-end cards in this review are the highest-end ones that you list,
though. The review also doesn't include the newer 6600GT based cards, which
probably offer the best price/performance at the moment for demanding games.
They aren't cheap, though: the least expensive one at www.newegg.com is
about $125US.
