Doom 3 minimum system specs released

'A pentium 4 or Athlon CPU of at least 1.5Ghz, accompanied by at least 384 MB of ram and a Radeon 8500 / Geforce 3 videocard with 64 MB VRAM will be needed to play the game on medium detail settings. A better videocard with DX9 support however, is advisable'

That sounds good.

im sure that to make the game look its best you are gonna need a top end system. Minimum= crappy looking

 

[Steven4563]

yeah it does but i thought this game was gonna need some high spec PC to play on i guess not i should be ok then

 

[Goodberry]

I almost feel moved to loathe id software for releasing a title that so very few people will be able to appreciate in its full glory. Especially because one of those people is me.

 

[CheeseMan]

Yea that's true, I'm going to get this game when it comes out

 

[Sjaak]

about a year ago i heard something about HL2...that it should be playable on 750Mhz/256RAM/32MB TNT2

*bwahahahaha*

Um the rig in your sig could play doom3 at maximum settings 1024X768 with 16AF and maybe even some AA very well.

 

[theELVISCERATOR]

Nope, your video card sux0rz. You need a really high end video card to play that game. Like a nVidia GeForce FX5800.59U!!!

you won't be able to play doom 3 at maximum settings with any computer out right now since the maximum setting supposedly requires a video card with 512mb.

 

[CheeseMan]

my video card will play it but not at maxium but ima get a better video card soon but i'm so stoked for doom3

We all know what the minimum requirements are:
Have a good look at the menus, the settings, and possibly play the game with 20 fps on lowest settings.

To be able to play decently you need at least an A64 3200+, 6800 GT, 1GB RAM tight latencies. Even with that, you still won't be able to see the game's full potential.

hmmmmm lol this games gonna bring doom to my wallet...cough cough or my dads lol

I suppose that all depends on your definition of decently. My prediction is that a system with 512mb of ram, 2.8ghz, and a 9600class will be able to play medium settings at 30-50fps.
It just would not make economic sense to release a game that was only playable on the top 1% of pc's

If by full potential, you mean 8xAA and 16xAF at 1600x1200- Im sure you are more than right

 

[AntonioBanderas]

I have the leaked beta of Doom 3 and unless they made some massive changes, your gonna need a good system to run it without it looking like Commander Keen.

 

[Th0r]

Well, wasn't that leaked 'beta' just a alpha version? ... Even in beta stages, it will have alot of bugs and problems... Unlike the final release..

 

[Cerberus2k7]

Please do not talk about warez of any kind. If you need a refresher, go ahead and read some of the rules again.

um no. You could play doom 3 with an athlon xp 2200 and a 9800 pro with 1GB ram just fine. Tight ram latencies NEVER have and never will give you anything realistic. The difference between 3 4 4 10 and 2 2 2 6 timings is NOT noticable in anything except benchies, and even then, the diff is less then 5%.

The 512MB ram thing is a MYTH, as in, made up by people other then ID. ID softare have stated that the game at MOST will use 80MB of video memory and never more, but you need room for frame buffer, so a 128MB card would have to run at 1024X768 with no aa to run well at max settings.

a 9700 pro will run the game at max settings just fine PERIOD. The game does NOT take as much power as people think, doom 3 ran fine on the 9800 pro(40fps at 1280X960 with max settings) back in alpha/beta stages. So it will do MUCH better now.
