correct me if im wrong,

[Euronymous]

When Doom 3 was first announced predicted min specs where GF 3, 256 mg ram 1.5 gig p4 or something along those lines. Is it not therefore reasonable to assume that therefore Most people will be able to play D3 without significant h/w upgrades.


On another note i dont know if anyone has seen the benchmarks at [h] ocp but it they show the FX 5900 ultra as THE doom card.

[Naked Snake]

You're close, but it's probably 128 mb ram, 1 ghz, GeForce 3 for MINIMUM

256 mb
1.5+ ghz
GeForce 4 Ti 4600 or better

^--recommended probably

[Euronymous]

I thought it was said that the minimum vid card requirement is a GeForce, version 1.

yeah...I'll wait some more month and try to get a nifty 64bit Hammer system (if it'll be the race winner)...maybe a dual proc if available.
this plus a brand new ATI card (or nvidia/who knows), dvd burner, 1 gb ram (really sufficient unless you're trying to run oracle with 600 users on your system), 100-200gb HDD and a audigy2.

I already have a creative 6.1 and a tv card...hmmm...

the best is that I have not to save up money...this will just cost the half of my monthly salery. he he.

Would a gf4 ti4200 be able to render dynamic shadows?

[Ubik]

My 1.73GHz AthlonXP + 512 MB PC2700 RAM + Radeon 8500 64 MB won't play it spectacularly, but it should play pretty well all the same.

Great, another e-penis contest.

If you are referring to the tale of two unfortunate rock stars (which the :P indicates) it was Euronymous that died from a fatal skull fracture and Count Grishnack that went to jail for having caused that specific skull fracture with a dagger.

Well, Count Grishnack went on to make some pretty cool lo-fi ambient with some equipment he brought to his cell, but the loss of Euronymous is truly a shame.

BEST POST. EVER.

I will now jerk my erect e-penis off in front of you all.

P4 2600
512 DDR RAM@333mhz, gonna get more
Radeon 9600TX
5.1 surround with 400 watt sub and 80watt loudspeakers
dvd-rom and dvd-rw.
endless usb, firwire, card readers...
19 inch pro crt monitor

Th sad thing about e-penises is they get smaller over time :(

[Lord FlatHead]

XBox, fuckers.

Also, the Doom III leaked alpha runs on a Rage 128. Now that's minimum requirements for you.

Will my 486DX with 8 megs of RAM, no vid card, broken sound card, and 12 inch monitor be able to run Doom3?

[Dark Fox]

The Fx5800 is not a great cards it has some serious problems. See if you can swap it with a 5900 (nv35)


I'm a little above min.
Xp1800 (1.53ghz)
512 DDR Ram
Geforce 3 Vanillia.

How does this kinda of shit end up posting in the forums?

[Radea`]

Doom is using the full capabilities of DirectX-7-level hardware (Yes, I know its OpenGL), so thats GeForce256/ATI Radeon and up for minimum requirements. It was first presented at macworld on a GF3 :/

Combining anything else? Going where no man (or woman) has dared to go? (excluding my cousin Robina)

Nope, the game began development targeted at a ONE gigahertz geforce ONE minumum, your baseline specs are WAY too high
