Doom 3 system Specs
 

This just in from http://www.filefront.com

they had an interview with the makers of Doom 3

We have stumbled across an interview held by PC Hardware with John Carmack. After a rough German translation, what appeared to be the Doom 3 system requirements were revealed.
A video card with at least 128MB RAM and Pixel Shader 1.1 support is required
A 2.5GHz CPU should be enough for the stencil shadows and physics calculations
The testing phase might last till summer or even later this year
DOOM 3 will be released on 4 CDs
Multiplayer will include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Tournament and Last Man Standing
The interview also mentions that the game-testing might go well into the summer; meaning that game will not be out anytime soon, and possibly not before the fall of 2004.

On a side note, this announcement is not what you should deem as being exactly 'official', yet it does shed some light on the possible requirements for the game at least. oOo:


I did not think it would be this good of such requirements did you?

I thought maybe 2 ghz and 64 mb video card

Yes, i barely make it.....

sleeping:

I'll have an overclocked Athlon 64 3200+ with an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro. If
that's not enough, Carmack can suck my [Expletive Deleted] [Censored].

I have a 486 compared to those specs.

I don't think my 1.1Ghz Sloweron and my PCI Radeon 9100 are going to cut it for D3....

Bah, Far Cry has higher requirments. Seeing how i built my rig to run it. This is no problem.

would an amd 2800+ be considered a 2.5Ghz?

Depends whether it has a ThoroughBred B or a Barton core, if it has a T'Bred B, it will run at 2.25GHz, if it has a Barton core it will run at 2.08GHz.

I don't think there are any Tbred 2800+'s. I'm pretty sure it's only a Barton core. But I could be wrong.

Either way the 2800+ performs for the most part on par with the P4 2.8C in games. So, I'd say that it is good enough for D3 if those specs are correct.

I have a AMD Xp 3200+, that should be good enough.

hmm
 

yeah but doesnt it meen that the processor persay needs to be 2.5 ghz?

so it can process the information fast enough instead of just 2.08 ghz...

AMD obtains speed via a differant method than Intel. Hense why intel stay swith displaying there clock speed while AMD gives you a series numbers. If an AMD processor is labeled as a 2800+ while its clock speed may only be 1.8ghz it will effectivly process the data at an equivilent speed of a 2.8 ghz.

ok ... i`m a b00n oOo:

Re: durr
 

Glad you acknowledged that.

i just need some more RAM and a 128 mb video card and i'll be ok.

Think my 1.8Ghz pentium 4 is adequate enough or should I overclock it?

1.8, i've heard of those going as high as 2.5 ghz. Granted with better cooling, and so forth. You could do 2.0 with no real problems i would imagine. If you have some monitoring programs that track heat and so forth you may be able to go further.

Thats nuts. I'm not going to beable to run it. I wans't expecting to, but I don't think my system is that bad. 1.4 AMD XP 512MB DDR Ram 256MB GF5600. Oh well, I wasn't expecting to beable to run it anyway.

So if you dont think were in an era where developers arnt going to use the hardware thats out to its max. Your living in a dream world.

not if its a willy core my friend. No chance in hell. lol.

Lol I think its time for me to get a new computer in the next year LOL I got a 1 GHZ Processor, Geforce 4 MX 440 and 512 SDRam lol

i dont care if it comes out

Next thing im getting is a A7N8X-X with a 2500+, Barton core, and dual DDR 256:ers. Have to wait for a month or two, though..

shit i need a new chip mine is only 1.6

Doom 3 = Child's play. Bring it.
