Johnny Punani2 Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Does anyone have an idea of what the recommended hardware requirements are for Doom 3? I've read everything from 1Ghz CPU and a Geforce 3 card to 2.5Ghz CPU and a Geforce 5(FX). As far as I know id software hasn't put anything out about this...

codeorama Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Sorry, I haven't heard, but it is coming out on xbox. In my opinion, the xbox runs games better anyway. I have a smoking sony pc, but my xbox is better for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 All kinds of rumors out there.... I've heard the same. Here's an lenghty interview with the man himself Carmack... he pretty much says what he's aiming for, video card wise, on the 1st or second page. http://www.gamespy.com/articles/august02/quakecon2002/carmack/index.shtml The Xbox will be able to handle it...all of it..... but PS2 says Carmack, will not be able to handle the graphics without "sacrifices".

tex Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 What kind of gaming rig are you going to need to run this puppy? I would have to say a pretty darn fast one. A quote from Mr. Carmack to help answer that. "I am hoping that the absolute top-of-the-line system available when the game ships will be capable of running it with all features enabled and anti-aliasing on at 60hz, but even the fastest cards of today are going to have to run at fairly low resolutions to get decent frame rates. Many will choose to drop a feature or two to get some speed back, but they still won't be able to get near 60hz." http://www.brainkiller.it/doom3/doom3faq.html :doh: :doh: I'm gonna have to have a new mobo, processor, ram and vid card to make this game run at decent frame rates. My current system specs are probably going to just barely meet minimum system requirements by the time the game is released later this year. current machine microstar kt7 turbo mobo (kt133a chipset) tbird 1.46 ghz processor, 266 mhz fsb GeForce 3 TI 200 - 64 meg video card 512 mb pc133 sdram memory 21" Trinitron monitor win98 se machine after upgrading this fall asus kt400a or nforce2 mobo barton 2.25 ghz processor, (400 mhz fsb?) ati 9900 pro – 128 meg video card 512 mb ddr 400 memory gonna keep using the Trinitron monitor win98 se (ati may not support win98 at that point so winxp may be required:puke:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
