Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the time-for-a-new-video-card dept.

The Llama King writes "The Houston Chronicle's Computing column has got the Doom 3 minimum system requirements. Biggest eye-opener: 384 MB of memory. Lots of mainstream PCs have been sold with 256 MB of RAM, so upgrades will be in order. RAM chip manufacturers should be salivating about now. You'll also need a 1.5-GHz processor and a GeForce 3 or Radeon 8500 graphics card or better."

    >But if you do need a new chip, unless you take joy in swapping out a motherboard or building your own system, Doom 3 is probably as good an excuse as any to buy a new PC.

    Who the hell wrote that, a Mac user?

    You don't buy a new fucking computer, you take it down to your local computer shop and get them to upgrade it if you don't want to do it yourself.

    At least I don't need to upgrade my video card - Rad(e)on 9600

    I don't want to burst your bubble, but a Radeon 9600, isn't going to give you the best graphical performance for D3. Of course if you will settle for the revolutionary ground breaking gameplay of D3 and its new original storyline and all, then you should be satisfied.

    Please insert the correct use of sarcasm and sense of humor as appropriate.

    It was a fucking joke. "-1 Flamebait?" Geez, I even referenced Barney Doom for the old players around here. I've been a Doom fan longer than a lot of you have been playing Counterstrike.

    Pull your head out of your ass. I look forward to the reverse meta-moderations on this one.
