Doom 3 system requirements...

Post by Darth Phoenix »

I have found a site that shows this requirements:

-pentium or AMD 700MHrz
-128mb of ram
-Geforce 3 and up

Do you guys think this is the real requirements?

I don't know if this is true but if it his, that means that i can play D3 without much problems :twisted: :twisted:

Also some new screenshots:

Lost Souls in game 8) :twisted:

Don't know what they are but they look dangerous :twisted:(Note the head is backwards)

Copy-and-paste the image links to view the pictures - Phong

There is no fear, there is Power.
There is no death, there is immortality;
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side.

That is most probably a *very* low-level requirement description to fool people into buying it...

those are pretty low requirments. Doom 3 isn't going to have a high polygon count so those aren't that unrealistic... BTW i can't see your pics

My machine ran the e3 doom demo well enough..average of between 60-30fps..but when i shot up zombies in really active areas it went down to 0.

My computer:
AMDXP 1700
ATI radeon 9700
512mb RAM
Videologic Sonicfury
6.1 speaker surround
black and chrome case with blue window and uv cold cathode
17" monitor.

want a faster processor for doom 3 i think.

BTW i can't see your pics
They worked fine in the preview...

Those Lost Souls are less scary than the old ones.

No. I don't think geocities allows direct linking of images.

EDIT: If you copy and paste the addy to your addy bar, you can see them, and they will be viewable when you return to the thread. It's a Geocities deal.

About the system requirements i've found in a tester opinion:
-pentium or AMD 1.5 GHrz
-512mb of ram
-Geforce 4

Much more sensible i think...

You will be able to play with minimal eye candy with those specs. IIRC, D3 will be out for XBox, which has similar specifications/

I just LOVE your in-depth explanation.

I fully believe that Doom 3 can "run" on a system with the specs, mentioned above. You'd need to turn details down REALLY low, but, really, the most graphically amazing things about the game is the bump-mapping and the lighting... stuff which would run primarily off the video card (and, hell, they had Doom 3 running on a GF3 two years ago at a Mac expo).

Keep in mind, however, that "running" a game is a very subjective process. Technically, you can "run" a game on a $2 calculator.

Has anyone else gotten hold of the demo and tried it out? Cause I tried to run it and all it gives me is this grey window that sucks up 50% of my CPU usage. :cry:
What's her bust size!?

I got it to work... but then again.. It runs too slow to even be played :(

However I saw some kind of patch that was supposed to speed things up, so I'll have to check that out.

I just hope it works in the end.. the lights are so amazing. :D

THere's some great lighting in the toilet scene, the lights are swinging and shadows are being cast all over the shop.

John Carmack said he could release it now, if people didn't mind having 60 fps on the best computers, so all the time it's being delayed will be for us and our framerates... :shock:


So whern's it coming out? Last time i checked play.com it was scheduled for august or something..

I need to get an alienware... and I've seen the bathroom scene before, simply incredible. Is that scene from this demo? If so which map?

I finally got it to work. :D

You just need to make sure you install the patch too, which will also tell you how to lower some of the graphic options making it run rather smooth. 8)
