After I grab a 9800 Pro and another pc2700 512mb stick of Crucial I\'ll be in "optmal" territory but I\'m sure it could always run smoother! I wonder if the HL2 requirements are as rigid.

Post by: Ryu on July 16, 2003, 12:12:13 PM: Optimal for me. Excellent. I still think those are ridiculous for a game.

What one has to realize about HL2 and Doom3 is that HL2 is all about graphical style and not about pushing the most polys. Doom3 does nothing BUT push polys like crazy and thus requires a whole lot more to look as impressive as possible and run smoothly. It\'s like Halo 2, a game that looks AMAZING, but also takes far less to run than the first Halo on xbox because they\'ve optimized the hardware to do things they never thought of before.

Post by: FatalXception on July 17, 2003, 05:03:53 PM: Optimal here. I\'m glad a game is coming out with reqs like this... I don\'t think all games should, cause it would be unfair to the majority, but it\'s nice to have a really system-pushing game come out once in a while.

Post by: Blade on July 27, 2003, 03:55:20 PM: Ryu: Doom III isn\'t actually pushing that many polygons. A lot of its details are carefully placed effects, like bump-mapping. I\'m not sure what to say about HL2 in this regard.. Can you hear me now? Good..

Post by: Tetrad on July 27, 2003, 04:04:17 PM: From running the Alpha its the lighting that really kills it. But it looks sooooo nice.
Title: Doom3 system requirements!!!
Post by: Ryu on July 27, 2003, 05:18:20 PM: The Alpha looked pretty polygon intensive from the models, but hey, that was an alpha afterall. On the Geforce 4 4600 when I ran it, I held it at 35-40FPS with no action and 15-25 with action. That was all unoptimized Alpha code though so I\'m sure with the Radeon 9800 Pro that I now have, I can at least push 60FPS constantly. :)
