"Gamers, check under hood because Doom 3 is coming
By DWIGHT SILVERMAN
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle

If there's a gamer in your life, chances are you've noticed some strange behavior since last week.

There's that glassy stare, the twitchy hands, jumpiness, maybe even a little drooling and certainly some muttering. It's what happens when id Software says "It's done!" with its latest first-person-shooter title.

On Wednesday, Mesquite-based id announced that Doom 3, a much-higher-tech remake of the game that put it on the map, had gone gold. It will ship to stores Aug. 3.

In the gaming world, this is no minor event. Doom 3 has been in the works for four years and is built on id co-founder and chief programmer John Carmack's latest graphics technology.

Carmack's wizardry usually influences other developers, making a big impact on the future of PC gaming. And because id's titles are also released for consoles like the Sony Playstation and Microsoft's Xbox, they influence video games as well.

The last new-generation engine from id was introduced with Quake 3 in 1999, and previews of Doom 3 have hinted it's an even bigger leap forward. Players will be treated to near-cinematic images as they battle demons from Hell on Mars, provided they have the right hardware.

Each successive game pushes existing hardware limits, a tradition since the release of the original Doom, which introduced multiplayer death match gaming. College students in 1993 became obsessed with battling their dorm neighbors, to the point that many college networks buckled under the load.

A new id game has the potential to drive sales of both components and new PCs as gamers upgrade in preparation. Hardware makers are as excited as gamers.

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.

• Graphics card. This is the best upgrade you can make for Doom 3. It's also where computer makers, looking to cut corners on mainstream systems, often wimp out.
Here's hoping the PC you own doesn't have a graphics adapter that borrows memory from the main system. So-called shared graphics notoriously choke on high-end games, and most budget systems don't include an AGP slot that lets you install a better card.

ATI Technologies and nVidia are the two biggest providers of graphics cards. As you move up either company's set of offerings, the results will improve. Cards at the top of the heap — nVidia's GeForce FX and newer 6800 series, or ATI's Radeon 9800 or newer X series — will provide the best experience and cost the most.

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.

• Memory. The 384 MB minimum may trip up a lot of systems. Many mainstream PCs in the last few years have come with 128 or 256 MB of memory. If you want to play Doom 3, more memory is better. I'd recommend 512 MB, and adding up to a gigabyte would be smart.

Check with the maker of your PC to see what type of memory it requires. Prices varies depending on the source and type, but use $50 per 128 MB as a benchmark.

• Hard drive. This is one category that may not require an upgrade at all — just some spring cleaning on your part.

If your hard drive is nearing capacity, take some time to clear off at least twice as much space as the game requires. That means you'll need at least 4 GB free.

Of course, if you're down to your last few gigs, you probably should buy a new drive. Get the biggest you can afford, with at least 7,200 revolutions per minute. You'll pay in the $80 range for a 120-GB Enhanced IDE drive or around $95 for a Serial ATA model.

• Processor. Although this is harder to upgrade, it's key to your Doom 3 experience. The minimum may be 1.5 GHz, but you'll probably want at least a 2-GHz Intel Pentium or equivalent AMD Athlon chip. The ideal is 3 GHz or better."

I'm going to have to pull a Nelson "Ha Ha" towards people with 256 megs of ram and plans to play Doom 3. Also, anyone know of a lonely woman looking for a bit of company? I need to upgrade my Geforce 5700U in the future, and I don't have any money.

the_marq · 07-20-2004, 08:58 AM

I guess that means my GeForce 4200 will run the game...just not maxed out.

C'est la vie, I'll upgrade later.

07-20-2004, 09:04 AM

I will be playing on my 4200 also, its still hanging in their and even considered a good budget choice.

Rdr4evr · 07-20-2004, 09:42 AM

I dont meet the memory requirements, and barely meet the rest. Oh well, no Doom for me.

Donna Bella · 07-20-2004, 09:47 AM

LOLOLOL!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

This game is going to ROCK!

bltzkriegmcanon · 07-20-2004, 12:48 PM

I guess this game is gonna put my ATI 9700 Pro/Intel 2.4B to the ultimate test. Ladies, it's time to start teh overclock. On a related note, I'm glad I have 786MB of RAM to work with. Not that how much RAM you have has anything at all to do with OC'ing, as a wise OC'er would know.

ChrisJericho · 07-20-2004, 12:59 PM

I've got a 2.4C, gig of corsair xms 3200, and a 9800 pro.

Once I become addicted I will decide whether or not the 2.4C should be replaced with a 3.2E or not depending on how well the game runs.

bltzkriegmcanon · 07-20-2004, 05:13 PM

I think that your setup should run Doom 3 just fine, ChrisJericho. That increased FSB and power of a 9800 Pro will definitely be a plus.

Carno · 07-20-2004, 08:43 PM

Time to buy a new computer....

Church · 07-20-2004, 08:56 PM

New info...

The recommended settings are a 3.4 ghz cpu and 2 gigs of ram.

No source yet, but I think thats kind of excessive.

Carno · 07-20-2004, 09:50 PM

Christ!

The min specs are totally bunk... I always try to make sure my comp exceeds the recommended specs.

Mr.Deflok · 07-21-2004, 12:39 AM

I have no need whatsoever to upgrade but I will soon anyway

GakFace · 07-21-2004, 01:51 AM

if those are the recommended, then This'll be a game I don't meet the recommended... 2 Gig of ram? geez.. and I was thinking of upgrading to 1 Gig soon... geeeeez

my AMDxp 2400 will be enough... 3.4? come'on now.

Ripsaw · 07-21-2004, 07:54 AM

I'm feeling kinda inadequate now. Guess I'll play on X-box.

hulk · 07-21-2004, 08:02 AM

IIRC, the Doom 3 engine was designed to push next-gen hardware on it's max settings. ID want it to be around for a looong time, naturally =) A 3Ghz G5 with 4GB of RAM is looking rather sweet atm...

Rdr4evr · 07-21-2004, 09:19 AM

I really dont care my sytem doesnt meet the requirements. Something tells me this is going to be like the RtCW remake.

ibis · 07-21-2004, 09:48 AM

I bet memory manufactures are loving this!

the_marq · 07-21-2004, 10:02 AM

Yeah I dont think I'll go out and blow a ton of money to play this game. I'll rent it first and see how it plays and then if I like it I might go and buy it....but to be honest I kinda doubt it.

ironchefkorea · 07-21-2004, 04:44 PM

I bet the whole pc industry is loving this. For every person who has said that they won't be upgrading for this next generation of pc gaming, there are four or five people who will be shelling out big bucks to meet the reqs.

Personally, I'm gonna wait until today's "state of the art" technology is a little more affordable, so that I can run these new games at good settings without too much of a dent in my pocket - besides, by then, the prices of the games themselves should have gone down a little bit as well.

bltzkriegmcanon · 07-21-2004, 06:27 PM

I'll say it again, like I've said before, you don't need to have the super-good shit in order to run this game good. Decent all around settings for Doom 3 will probably set you back about $800 bucks.

Abit AV8 - $124
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ - $270
Sapphire ATI 9800 Pro - $198
Kingston ValueRAM Dual Channel Kit 184 Pin 1G(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 - Retail - $175

That ought'er get 'er done. An "upgrade" of this nature will cost ya around $767 before shipping. Ya should have an HDD and optical, but these will play some fucking Doom 3.

Church · 07-21-2004, 07:10 PM

Something you have to remember though, ID could give two shits about the amout of copies they sell. They want to sell the engine, that's where all the big money is.

hulk · 07-21-2004, 08:44 PM

Indeed. ID have said that no computer around at launch will run D3 to the max. Hell, they've got graphical feats in there that aren't even supported by _any_ graphics cards out today. They're shaping the industry, and this engine will be around looking good for years.

GakFace · 07-21-2004, 11:02 PM

Hey.. its ID, all us old schoolers remember them and what they shaped in the beginning. Its only natural for them to come back with a bang.

Mr.Deflok · 07-22-2004, 12:02 AM

The Quake III engine came out in 1999, last year it was used in a game that was labeled by over 100 publications as the Game of the Year, Call of Duty. Same thing'll apply to the Doom 3 engine and I can't fucking wait.

Yes, but not everyone wants to pay $800 to upgrade for a game. When paying for an apartment, a car, bills, and other regular expenses, any upgrade of that magnitude is quite significant.

Now, having said that I do think this is going to be a great game. My machine can handle it at low settings, but definitely not full out. Nor am I going to bother upgrading just so I can play it to the "max settings". I will play it at low settings and most likely enjoy the hell out of it. Perhaps a couple years down the road when I get a new comp I'll play it again on maxed out settings. I just don't see the need to have to fork over a ton of cash just so you can play it full out right NOW...

Hercules · 07-22-2004, 04:19 PM

Just bought a new computer.

AMD 64 3400+
1 GB Corsair DDR TwinX1024-3200
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
ASUS K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard
ATI x800 Pro 256 MB

Should arrive tomorrow.. except for the video card which should come middle of next week

Ready to rock Doom 3

I almost have the same setup as you Herc. Cept my mobo is the 940 Socket SK8V.

I pre-ordered mine at EB world at the local mall. Went something like this...

Me:I'd like to pre-order Doom3 please.
EB dude:Do you meet the requirements?
Me: I got a AMD FX 53 and a X800 card?
EB dude with blank look on his face cause his system doesn't:Um...yeah. I guess you do.(fucker)

NeverBorn · 07-22-2004, 09:04 PM

Yay, my new comp easily crushes them. I got the same set up as you two above, though I'm just packing an 9500. I'm going to buy a new card before I leave for college again

Church · 07-22-2004, 09:20 PM

Sorry, I'll have to retract my previous statement. Apparently my source was misinformed. The recommended settings are a 1.5 ghz processor, and 1 gig of ram, running a 9800 pro minimum.

Sorry for the confusion.

GakFace · 07-22-2004, 10:19 PM

oh.. so I just need to double my Ram? Nice

hulk · 07-23-2004, 06:06 AM

No matter what you do, you still won't be able to max Doom 3 out =P

NeverBorn I'm a pepper bitch..	Yay, my new comp easily crushes them. I got the same set up as you two above, though I'm just packing an 9500. I'm going to buy a new card before I leave for college again

Church Tilted F*ckhead Location: New Jersey	Sorry, I'll have to retract my previous statement. Apparently my source was misinformed. The recommended settings are a 1.5 ghz processor, and 1 gig of ram, running a 9800 pro minimum. Sorry for the confusion. __________________ Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble makers, and neutralize them.
