IF it were 96K, it wouldnt run on Any of our PC's

Lutrov71, VERY Unlikely. ID software is out to make money from everyone, not just people with super fast PC's. Heres wat i reckon you'll need for Doom 3. P4 1.3 or equivalent GeForce 3 card (because that was the target card) and 256MB ram (which is what id said)

Us "PC Elitists" Get higher Resolutions and Fragment shaders :) Oh and better frames overall as well. Oh and Mods..and the list goes on

Probably a 9800 Pro, but based on the info my guess is as good as yours.

I get almost a constant 60 FPS om the leak @ 1024x768, full detail, 8xAF on my Radeon 9800 pro

I personally like the new Logo rather than the Roman numeral one. I am not really dreading anything in doom 3 except its Long development time!

Doom 3's lighting looks Great!

Yes, that system will b e enough for you to fully experience doom 3 and enjoy it. Welcome to the forums.

In doom 3 i wanna be shooting up zombies and demons...not "hey i blew up a wall!!"

P4 @ 3.01 1GB Crucial Ram Abit IS7 Radeon 9800 pro 256mb Sound Blaster live 5.1 By the way, i did pick up on the Alpha thing right away. I mean really why would you wanna download some broken code which runs really slow and will hinder your perception of Doom 3 until it actually arrives? Its not that good, trust me

And its called the Doom 3 engine which will be very good looking and fast.

Seriously, a Radeon 9800/GeForceFX5900 will run the game at 60 FPS full detail. A 5700 is a pretty damn fast card and IM ABSOLUTELY positive it will run Doom 3 at playable frames at full/near full quality, so guys relax! Doom 3 has to be sold to the mainstream consumer therefore it will run on a mainstream PC.

A GeForce 3 will run doom 3. a Radoen 9800 pro will play Doom3 fabulously!!

Epic games usually have the best looking engines, but they arent as fast as carmacks

Start Whenever it comes out...forget Eating...drinking....living and play doom3. School? Who needs that! lol

They'd probably get Raven Software to do it.

The trailer music was pretty sweet. A nice bass line!

Doom 3 will not use 64 bit CPU's so, its all coming down to the chips' 32 bit performance.

How much money do you have to buy a new video card? And to answer your question: (these are in order) GeForce 256 --> Your Card GeForce 2 Pro+GTS/MX (High end/Low end) Geforce 3 Geforce 4 TI/MX (high end/low end) Geforce FX 5800/5600/5200 series (high End/Midrange/Low end) GeForce FX 5900U/5900NU/5900XT (Bleeding Edge/High End/Mainstram) GeForce FX 5950 (Higher clocked GeForce 5900U)

I'd say five gigs as well.

They first released the original doom on 4 disks (i still have em in working condition also :D) but then later when CD's were more popular, a CD version came out, this will happen with doom 3 as well dont worry :)

I think its the per pixel poly hit detection which is implimented in doom 3 that allows for bullet holes everywhere in the characters' bodys

Well it was never released on April 15 :(

nVidia cards have always beaten Radeons at Open GL. Look at Recent Quake 3 based games' benchmarks, nVidia bests ATI.
