Is Your Gaming System Prepared?

Post by Aggressor Prime »

Many people think that their so-called gaming system can take on any game at max settings. It is time to see if you can actually do this. Doom 3 comes out August 3 and will be the most powerful game out there. Here are the "Worry Free Specifications."

3 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1 gigabyte of memory
Two gigabytes of hard drive space
An nVidia 6800 graphics card or an ATI X800XT
6.1 surround sound audio

However, if you want the best performance, this system comes out on top.
Athlon XP 3200 3DMark05 Score: 3460 GeForce 6600 GT 3DMark05 Score: 3132 14304 SETI Results: Athlon 64 2800 Athlon XP 3200 Athlon XP 2100 Athlon XP 1800 Pentium 3 Celeron 667MHz If you haven't played Descent 3, you aren't a gamer.

Mine is handling Doom 3 at 1024*768 on high quality smoothly.

Athlon XP 2800+ (t-bred b)
512MB PC2700
Radeon 9800 non-Pro

It took some tweaking to get there though, but it all worked out
