System Requirements?

[air_head1]

What will the system requirements be?

[Hamma]

I dont think they will be much different than the demo req's which was:

1ghz Proc w/ 512MB of ram (that was the min reqs)

[Camping Carl]

Don't forget a decent grapics card, geforce2 or voodoo4/5 at the very least.

[Vimp]

Voodoo4-5? Those were old by the time the first Geforce2 came out. Those are like equivelant to like a TNT2 card, (which was the last tnt before they switched to geforce), which is hardly likly to run PS, never mind play PS in any capeable manner.

ugg Voodoo is evil.

[Hamma]

Didnt Nvidia buy out voodoo ?

[Navaron]

Nvidia is the microsoft of vid cards

[Camping Carl]

Hey voodoo made decent cards, a voodoo 5 was better than a geforce2 any day. But yeah, I think they're dead now, though some people still have them.

Microsoft sells utter and complete SHIT ('scuse the language) at a high cost, and has most of the market. nVidia sells good cards, for not that expensive, and has a very competitive market with ATI.

I really don't see the connection is.

I'd actually say ATI is pulling away from nVidia as far as quality of cards goes. Their 9700's are WAY better than the new Geforce FX's, benchmarks prove it too. ATI Radeon is actually the card of choice now for Doom 3. nVidia is definately NOT the microsoft of video cards (and Fire, he was implying that nVidia has a monopoly on the video card industry, not that they made stuff alike). Within the next year or two I say ATI will come out way on top, plus their cards are really damn inexpensive too, like AMD is to Pentium.

GeForce FX benchmarked 50 fps in Doom3, while the ATI 9700 (which the game is currently optimized for) was getting 20. The GF FX will be the same amount as the 9700 is now (roughly the same as the gf 4600 was when it came out). But really, we'll have to see, i'm surprised your so sure that ATI will come out on top without the GF FX not even out yet. The reason i'm for nVidia and GF FX is because of the horrible hell i am/have gone through with my Radeon 8500. Will NEVER buy them again.

[Stalefish]

Did you buy the ATI card or some other company's?

I usually go with either Verto (for nVidia cards) or Hercules (for Radeons). They're my favorite two companies.

Where did you get those framerates for Doom3? Just curious, not digging in to see if you're LYING OR ANYTHING! j/k

But seriously, I want to see them.

Just wondering where you got your info on the radeon 9700 being 'way" better than the fx... you may be talking about the geforce ti 4600 benchmarks compared to the radeon 9700 which weren't all that different except at higher resolutions in which the ati blows away the geforce. As for the FX... might want to check your info again.

[FireFrenzy]

The card is your run of the mill built by ATI, ATI box radeon 8500.

The benchmarks were obviously by nvidia (since no one else would really have them, nor would ATI show it). You can see them in the 1 hour 30 minute presentation Nvidia has, on the GF FX website (look around @ nvidia.com, impossible to miss).

[Stalefish]

Why does everyone have to be a smartass.

I found it Fire, you were right, but I'd rather see it released on ATI's site. I can't really trust nVidia to put up the right stuff.

Maybe PlanetHardware has something on it...
