Doom 3? minuim system reqirements

Raiden01 · September 5th, 2002

anyone got a idear what they will be wil geforce 2 ultra be in there or 900mhz

Vidhath · September 5th, 2002

Jeezus! just wait till the game comes out!
no offense but thats like asking what the reqs will be for final fantasy 12

Ninjaa · September 5th, 2002

10GHz Pentium 7, with 2GB PC5700 DDR SDRAM, and a Radeon 22000.

Nah, just kidding.

Doom III will require about a 1GHz CPU, and a MINIMUM of a GeForce2, but a GeForce4 Ti, or a Radeon 9700 is recommended.

Syed Fawad · September 6th, 2002

1GHz CPU? r u sure? I think it was around 2 GHz.

**Kane** · September 6th, 2002

No, coz it's apparent;y gonna be ported to the Xbox (750 celeron an Geforce 3.5)

Vidhath · September 6th, 2002

The xbox runs on a celeron?
what a crappy chip... they should've at least used a p3
edit:
why the new avatar icon syed?

ste · September 6th, 2002

I remember hearing about carmack saying Doom3 would run at about 30fps on a Geforce3, so I assume a GF3/1ghz will be about the minimum. Obviously gf4 + will be preferred

Christemplar · September 6th, 2002

I'm trying to get rid of my GeForce 2 MX 100/200 !!!

**_E_** · September 6th, 2002

oh dear,............why dont you just wait until DOOM 3 is released? talking about its min. system requirments is nothing but a waste of time!

Christemplar · September 6th, 2002

Umm, you have a point there.
Currently I'm saving money to buy a PS2 so that mean not possible to upgrade my computer now.

ste · September 6th, 2002

best thing to do is not worry, and just think that by the time its out the hardware to play it well will be a lot cheaper than it is now anyway

but the Xbox has dedicated hardware. Desktop PCs use a little more performance in doing regular Windows functions, and the Directx isn't as optimized as on the Xbox.

BaD_BURN · September 7th, 2002

Just a wild guess:
===========

AT LEAST a Pentium III-class CPU (800MHz to 1GHz)
AT LEAST a GeForce2 (older cards will be supported, but will lose some visual flair that the more powerful cards can do. If you have a TNT2 or a V3, you're out of luck.)
AT LEAST 192MB-256MB of RAM (the demo ran at 1GHz RDRAM, but I think Carmack and Co. will do some optimizations here and there so the game can run at less than 1GHz of RAM. Not too many people have that amount of RAM in their rigs...yet.)
AT LEAST 800MB hard drive space maybe or less.

Or I could be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see when the game (or the downloadable demo) comes out.

BaD_BURN · September 7th, 2002

Another thing: what do you guys think DOOM III's API will be? Sure hope it's OpenGL.

**Kane** · September 7th, 2002

Carmack hates d3d, so I'd assume so.

ToM_E · September 7th, 2002

I would say at least
700mhz or over
At least 256mb ram
At least a 64mb DDR video card
Hehe

And of course BaD_BURN it will be OpenGL. Im pretty positive cause most pc games now a dayz runs on OpenGL. Why play doom 3 when Unreal Tournament 2003 is coming out.

Why? Ever since I first played the shareware version of DOOM about 7 years ago, I was hooked. You can just imagine the excitement of a die-hard DOOM fan like me when Carmack and Co. said they will be making a DOOM III.

ToM_E · September 7th, 2002

Hehe. I understand but I was hooked on Quake more than doom. Also Unreal I always loved.

BaD_BURN · September 7th, 2002

Well, to each his own.

ToM_E · September 7th, 2002

Agreed.
