For those concerned about CPU requirements

[Mihai_89]

So this is for those who are concerned about the CPU requirements.

Just relax bros - despite that it says 8 cores/16 threads it also says Zen 2

Zen 2 pretty much means older RYZENs can run it too like the RYZEN 5 3600 or RYZEN 5 3500 or RYZEN 3 3100 - yes they specify the 3700X but it will run on older ones because it's the same architecture.

I only have an I5-10400 so I need to get an I7. But because my current CPU is a 10th gen, I can only use 10th and 11th gen CPUs without changing the motherboard. And I could change the motherboard but I don't want to do that because if I do, I'll have to reactivate Windows and potentially lose some data which is not what I want to happen. So in hindsight, getting an I7-11700K is my only safe option.

What did you end up doing? I'm in a similar predicament.

Chill people.

DO NOT upgrade anything yet, until you try launching the game and seeing if it actually doesn't run AT ALL.

There's a very high probability that the CPU requirement might not be accurate - I find it very hard to believe that if Zen 2 can run the game it will only be limited to 8 core CPUs because that would mean that 6 core CPUs like the RYZEN 5 5600 or RYZEN 5 7600 would not be able to run it too.

I mean the RYZEN 5 7600 was released in 2023 like it's barely 2 years old.

The one thing i could maybe recommend is if you were able to run INDIANA JONES then there is a very high chance DOOM will run - that game was using the same engine as DOOM and also had forced RT just like DOOM.

I would assume perhaps the builds for the id Tech engine are similar since the games are releasing within 6 months of each other so that COULD in theory give us an idea of what to expect from DOOM.

Well in few day we will be able to see how this game will run on PC, probably the streamer army loaded with RTX 5090 and ultra Ryzen 9 last gen will make this game shine, increasing the sale of new GPU and CPU. This is the era where the Dev simply make game for streamer, because they know they have the last gen of everythings, so no need to squeeze the optimizations when the buyer have NASA super pc.

Yup, no need to rush on nothing. Just wait and see, after all on Steam you can refund title if you stay under the 2 hours and 14 day. No need to get crazy on a paper requirement. I thinks they made them so high to boost sale for some company (Ngredia for sure)

[AppleJerk]

hey, does anyone know that ray tracing is mandatory or not?

Okay, fair enough.

Nice to know. I'm looking forward to performance reviews for Dark Ages.

Yes, you need a hardware RT capable card to run this game. So anything older than nVidia RTX 2000 series or AMD RX 6000 series simply won't run the game.

This game is going to bomb compared to Eternal. The high system requirements and price are going to turn a lot of people off, plus the slow gameplay. It's going to be like 3.

system requirements are not that high. I run all games maxed 14400 60 fps and iuse FSR in games who have ray tracing which means that since it has ray tracing i will use fsr and will tun it with max grapihcs and max ray tracing 1440p 60 fps like ido with all games. MINE MONSTER PC IS RYZEN 7 1700 RX 6700XT 12 GB RED DEVIL 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZCL15 MP 600 2TB WRITE:4950MBS READ:4250MB/S DELLP2416D 24'' 2560X1440 60 HZ IPS.THe price is very high. 80 euros for a video game is notworth it even if its theb st fps ever DOOM. As big doom fan sincei got my firstpc in 1996 and doom was the first game iplayed on it when i was 9 years old iam very dissaponted but i cant support it. No. 80 for a game? No no no. That why it will not sell very well like the previous DOOM games who sold millions in one day after they released them.

What did ido? I thought very serioursly to get a 9700x or 9800xd with 32 gb 6400mhz and x870 motherboard. But i decided no because since i already have a a8oce cpu ryzen 7 1700 iti s not worht it in 2025 to get again another 8 core. Which is why i have two choices. Either get 9900x which is 12 cores or wait for next gen ryzen 11000 and get 11700x because amd said that next gen ryzen will have more than 8 cores even for cheaper models. but if the cpu , ram, motherboard or psu burn/die before the release of ryzen 11000 then i will be forced to get 9000. Ihave the cpu ram and motherboard since March 2017 and psu since fall of 2016 which means htat there is a high possibility that one of the 3 might die before the release of next gen ryzen. If that happens then i will get 9700x. Also what is this that you say that with the next motherboard we will need to reactivate windows? When i 2017 i changged motherboard i typed the key from the windows 10 cd and it accepted it. Should ido the same with the next motherboard? If ihave install Windows 11 until then, will it accept the key?
