<A HREF="http://www.warp2search.net/article.php?sid=13092&mode=thread&order=0" target="_new">Warp2Search</A> has posted some 'speculative' d3 requirements. I'm surprised that they would say it has a 'minimum' of a 9600Pro as the 8500 and 9000Pro would be close to the GF3ti in performance.
I have a lot of trouble believing that the minimum requirement would be such a high end card, since it was supposed to appeal to more users from what everyone has said. I would think an R9600Pro class card would be well above the minimum and closer to 'standard' (or as most people call it, Recommended). I also find it funny that they actually put the GF4ti alongside the R9700/Pro, when the R9500Pro is clearly a better suited card, and the 9700 owns the GF4 in all the previews (optimized for Nvidia hardware).
I wonder if they are baseing their assumptions/'speculation' on those early reviews/benchmarks, which really didn't tell us much/enough.
However where does my CPU (XP2000+) fit in, it's not quite 'standard' and it's well above 'minimum'. I guess it's sub-standard, what a pitty! I guess AMD doesn't have ANY Cpus that will fit their 'optimal' category! Damn Intel!

# Speculative DOOM III System Requirements:
Minimum:
# CPU: 800MHZ ~ 1GHZ
# GeForce 3 TI / ATI 9600 Pro
# 256 MB RAM
Standard:
# CPU: 1,7GHZ ~ 2GHZ
# GeForce 4 TI 4400/4600 - ATI 9700/Pro
# 512 MB RAM
Optimal:
# CPU: 2,5GHZ ~ 2.8 GHZ
# GeForce 5800FX/5900FX - ATI 9800 Pro
# 786 ~ 1024MB RAM
I also like the 256mb of RAM, I have a feeling that 1GB of the PC 133 (what would be running on the .800-1Ghz) would pale against 256mb of PC2100. Oh well.
