DooM 3 System Requirements

[pickle965]

Any word on what it will take to run DooM 3 smoothly? I was hoping the Athlon XP 2200 w/ Geforce 4 Ti4600 (probably VIA KT400 chip and 512MB DDR) I plan to build soon would be good enough....???

It will run on a GeForce 1 card, probably with a 700mhz processor or something. Minimum sys requirements.

LOL, my GeForce 2 barely ran anything more advanced than Quake 2

Wtf? My cousin's GeForce 2 64mb card can run Quake 3 Arena with everything turned up and gets 90+ fps with slowdown a very slight slowdown in like 2 levels.

[pickle965]

yeh, I guess I forgot to mention it was a PCI card on a K-6 550...

[Lord FlatHead]

Here's an educated guess:

Minimum spec : 700Mhz processor, 128MB RAM, GeForce256 or Radeon 7500
Recommended spec : 1Ghz+, 256MB RAM, GeForce4 or ATI 9700
Kickass spec : 2Ghz+, 512MB RAM, NV30 or higher

Totally 1337 specs: 4400+ AMD clawhammer, 2GIG ram, NV35 :P

I just want to play doom @ 1600x1200 with all features on @ 40 fps or higher.. who doesnt.. =)

[Lord FlatHead]

I just want to run it stable at +30fps with all the core features, at 800x600 with antialiasing on.

[S|aVe.3rN.]

sweet so my 800mhz - 512 ram - geforce3 should run fine with it ? im gettin a new pc anyways . 2.4ghz 512 rd ram - geforce4 ti4600- im guessing that will run jus fine lol

[EVIL]

That is called being rich.

I'll upgrade my memory and video card, my processor is sufficient (P4 2GHz)...

[Fredrik]

I hope to get 20 fps in 320x240 with my Athlon 1400, 512MB DDR and 64MB GeForce 2 Ti...

[gatewatcher]

I'll be playing with an AMD xp2200+, radeon 9700 128mb, 512 ram, and audigy soundcard with 5.1 channel speakers. Of course, I'll be playing games made 5 years from now with that machine because I'll still be broke.

[Shaviro]

hmm. I'll be running Doom 3 on either a P4 3.0 or a P4 2.8 with the latest nVIDIA gfx card =)

Bah. What if Doom3 comes out before the new nvdia card?

Then go ATI.

Who said anything about the new nvidia card?

He said "latest" card. There is a latest one already. The question if there'll be a new latest one.

Yeah that is exactly what i meant!

NV30 will come out this year, DOOM III will most likely come out in the middle or towards the end of next year.

Bah, 60fps.

[gatewatcher]

60? 30fps is the standard. But if you can get 60 that's good.

No, it comes out in SPRING 2003

The fps rate of the game should match your monitor's vertical rate, that is the best for your eyes and it does not look like shit when the refresh rate is out of sync. On another note, Doom3's engine is going to be ticking at 60 Hz. Surprising, compared even to qw's 72 (if I remember correctly).

[Lord FlatHead]

If you've got a system that can hit 90hz, you can always turn the value up I'm sure. Thought there's not much real value past 60hz.
