DOOM 3 Requirements - briefly
(hx) 05:38 PM CEST - Jul,20 2004 - Post a comment / read (3)
"Gamers, check under hood because Doom 3 is coming" on the Houston Chronicle discusses system requirements (thanks BluesNews) for playing DOOM 3:

Todd Hollenshead, id's chief executive, said Doom 3 will require:

- A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
- 384 megabytes of memory.
- Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
- An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better.
If your existing rig doesn't meet these specs, here's a guide to beefing it up to play Doom 3 in all its gory glory.

If you're upgrading, look for at least 128 MB of video memory in a card with Direct X 9.0 capability that installs into an AGP slot. Cards in the $150 to $200 range - such as a GeForce 5900XT or a Radeon 9600XT - will be a sweet spot.

Update: In related news John Carmack posted a new message in the Xprize.com forums: "I am working on the rendering technology for the next game right now, so it looks like the balance will stay about the same for a while at least."

I own nVidia. Never had to worry that Doom3 wouldn't run well.
