Dark Ages the new Doom 3?

[CptWesker07]

Saw an article saying most pcs won't handle the game at max settings. I have a ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32gb ram and a 4070 super, pretty sure I'll be fine but saw that the recommended card for this game is the rtx 5080 I was like ...the ♥♥♥♥? I remember back in 2004 I bought doom 3 and couldn't even run it because ibwas still rocking the old voodoo card and only had 256mb of ram and doom 3 required 384mb of ram or something and a GeForce 3 card i had to upgrade everything to run it.

well im pretty sure mine will since il be packing a 5090 and all

Why would you care about max settings? Games are designed to scale with hardware. The statement that max settings will require something like a 5080 says absolutely nothing about the game's performance. Don't worry, it will be fine. Especially with this engine.

the slayers saga doom 3 in terms of being slower and also in terms of requirements... crazy!!!!

Nah man... This will still run on a Xbox Series S. Everyone will be fine.

Series S GPU supports ray tracing at hardware level, so that port will likely be customised especially for it and the game may be limited to 30fps. But people with GTX 10XX can't play DA at all on the other hand. So not everyone is fine. But yea, a game requiring 6 year old mid range GPU isn't something unprecedented.

i'm gonna call ti now.. I dont think this game will run on a 5080 in 4k at max settings. games going to use more then 16gbvram

Native 4k with PT? No, of course not. That's not much of a prediction. ^^ And it won't even be about VRAM. See Indiana Jones. But with DLSS - sure, it will.

It won't be long now, once the game is released.

You're going to see gameplay videos, screenshots, benchmarks and reviews. Once it's in the peoples' hands, all questions should be answered.

na not native. with dlss and frame generation at 4k.. that vram is going to go over 16gb watch. all those extra tech uses more vram then native. dlss uses vram. frame gen usese vram.. and obviously raytracing which is required for this game, will be using vram. going to need a 4090 or a 5090 to play this game maxed out at 4k with dlss and everythign turned on.

With PT enabled - yes, I believe you will be right, judging by the VRAM usage in Indiana Jones. But I think that's actually a good thing. Games should scale as high as possible, so they use the most of even the fastest possible hardware. Doesn't mean everyone has to activate all that stuff. But it's good that it's there (and also future proofs the game to some degree). As long as it also scales down enough, I don't see the problem there.

Just a side note: DLSS will obviously lower the internal res and thus reduce memory consumption. (FG might increase it again, though. ^^)

The 5090 is meant for video editing and all that other crap people do that requires and extensive amount of Vram and stuff. It's way overkill just for gaming and a waste of money

It's obviously also meant for high-end gaming. Nothing wrong with that. It's perfectly fine to say that that card would be a waste of money for your personally, and at the same time acknowledge that it might be worth it for others. I bought my 4090 like 2 years ago and am very happy about the purchase. It was a lot of money, sure. But it's also kind of liberating to just always choose the highest possible settings and not need to tinker with them. It's also nice to be able to use high RT and PT settings for that extra bit of fidelity. Especially since I upgraded from a 1440p monitor to a 4K TV, it's nice that the card can still manage all those pixels at high settings. In addition to gaming, it's a great card for Resolve and Blender.

I will also say that I am quite happy that the 5090 is not that much faster and I can easily skip the 50 series. ^^ Which also means I will get a lot more mileage out of the card.
