From the September Edition of PC Gamer:

Tying it all together, if you where to build three Doom 3-Lovin' PCs, one at each of the following levels, which components would you want to see in a:

LOW-END SYSTEM
CPU: 1.5GHz P4 or AMD equivalent
RAM: 512 MB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce Ti 4800 or ATI RADEON 9500

MID-RANGE SYSTEM
CPU; 2.4 GHz P4 or AMD equivalent
RAM: 1GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 5950 or ATI RADEON 9800 Pro/XT

HIGH-RANGE SYSTEM

>Robert didn't offer any current-generation high-end suggestions. Instead, he told us, "Doom 3 has settings that will make the game look even better on hardware that doesn't exist yet (beyond just upping the resolution, like in most games)." That sounds really cool and we can't wait to see how the game looks on the hardware of tomorrow. But in case you're wondering what to buy today, here's what we say:
PC Gamer's High-End Recommendation
CPU: 3.4 GHz P4 or AMD equivalent
RAM: 2GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra or ATI RADEON X800 XT

that right there will give you about 4 fps (REALLY REALLY SHITTY) but you maybe able to play like that lol.

And your right, it is a next gen game and will require the next gen parts for optimal play.

edit: for the lazy ones that didnt want to read:
cool my comp will be able to play it :)
unfortunately though, i don't have much cash to buy the game with seeing as how im starting college in a month and books and stuff costs an assload of $$$

keep the assault rifle out for the flood, when you run out of ammo on that clip, switch to pistol, there should be no flood around by then, reload both weapons, rinse and repeat.


There is a alienware comp at xbox-scene in the buyselltrade forums for 1200. It has a 3.x ghz processor and a gig of ram. I tried lookin for it but couldnt find it again.

Those recommended specs won't leave you running at 4fps...

I have a 1.5GHz processor, 768MB DDR333, and a GeForce 2 ti 500 64mb DDR and how much do you want to bet that I will get 60+ frames out of it? It might not look pretty, but full details can be sacrificed for smoother gameplay, which is what the recommended specs are all about...not to mention, I can run them at full detail and still not lag, just because I will only be getting the full end of my DX7 support :D

My computer can handle Doom I and II but I dont think it will for III :( Hopefully I have a Frame Rate over 30.
