Phenom II X6 1100T at 3.7 Mhz. Can it Run DOOM Eternal?

[Sir Diealot]

So I got that (not)launch problem. and i was thinking, might it be my cpu? but then again many people with way newer cpus have that very same problem. I was assuming to meet the minimum specs at least. But i dont know really? So can somebody tell me, will it be possible to run it on this machine? thx in advance.

Motherboard: Asus M4A79XTD Evo
Biosversion: 2102 17.06.2010
Cpu: AMD Phenom II x6 1100T 3.7Mhz
Gpu: Nvidea GTX 1060 6gb (driverversion: 442.74)
Ram: 16gb ddr3
os:Win 10 64bit

Here is instructions how to emulate missing function:

Can't check it by myself for now (not at home), so dunno if it works
P.s. If you see "access denied" on Intel® web page, click "back to originating page" button.

thx. I tried it, but it just takes longer to not work. In the taskmanager i can see cpu usage goes up to 20%, ram loads up to 500mb within a few minutes, for doom eternal. after maybe 8min steam says its running and then... it just closes without comment.

it did gave me some hope

emulating an instruction set would probably cripple performance anyway

Can't run it too.

Some people saying it's because of cpu does not support s.s.e 4.1 technology

Yeah sadly that is where you are going to get held up.. Unless they create a patch/hotfix.. which I would not count on and just delays the inevitable.. need a new CPU :(

I had a Phenom 9850 3.2 GHz, I built that system w/ 16GB DDR2 G.Skill RAM a little over a decade ago. I had several video cards go through it, 8800 GTS 2GB if I remember correctly, then the Geforce 960 GTX 4GB I got a few years ago.. forgot what it originally had, whatever was in my older AMD K7 AMD Athlon.. I skipped the K8 Athlon/Series of CPU's the best I did, they just didn't show much of a future.. glad I waited for the Phenoms too, got a lot of life out of that system, heck close to a decade of gaming... no console can beat that!

Games were playing 100% fine off my AMD Phenom 9850, all up until 2-3 years ago when games like No Man's Sky, Resident Evil Biohazard, and a few others started coming out that needed those CPU Instructions (SSE3, SSE3.1, SSE4, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSE4a, etc..).

But those are sadly getting put into new games and the #1 reason I had to build a new system 2 years ago, I built a Ryzen 5 3.2Ghz, 32GB RAM, and an ASUS ROG-350F MoBo... which has been amazing. Great Combo Deal for barely $350 off NewEgg for the 3 set (cpu, 16gb ram, mobo).


Still pissed me off though because my Phenom was playing 99% of the newest games just fine, my GPU struggled until i got the 960 GTX 4GB and games were GREAT.. Until I installed the Resident Evil Biohazard game after playing the Demo that played 100% fine... The game kept crashing at 1 specific spot about 20 minutes in4, it was like Capcom (developer) added new CPU instructions in last minute.. whatever it was they didn't list it on their "PC Spec Minimum Requirements" and I got a refund ASAP. Got the game on PS4 as it was pretty fun...

No Man's Sky same issues, game would not even load upon release until a hotfix game out from a 3rd party community member... I had fun with the game and kept it, the developer Hello Games (a small one too) put out their fix/update pretty quickly, quicker than Capcom did with RE. But the game played 100% perfect on my Phenom... seriously no need for a new CPU other than those "Instructions" feels like a conspiracy to me.. probably Intel/AMD & Microsoft forcing people to upgrade their PC's... kind of lame.

But yeah time to build a new CPU, hopefully you can find a good combo deal like I did, literally got the new Motherboard, RAM, and a solid AMD CPU very cheap. It stinks, it feels so unecessary believe me I know I've been there, but heck my previous PC had roughly a decade under it's wing.. and it is still purring like a kitten downstairs as I "recycled" it and gave it to a family member... I have a few extra Phenom CPU chips around, grabbed a bunch very cheap, bunch of ASUS motherboards (M4A785-M or similar M3/M4 series).. and some cheap RAM and built a few "office/entertainment" Desktop PC's for the family hehe.


This is the "Instructions" that are needed for most new games now, sadly had to help a lot of folks on the Rage 2 forums when that game came out as many had the same issues...

same here

Thats an old CPU. I had the same problem when Dishonered 2 came out. They eventually added support, but devs just don't support it anymore.

Alright well I've had the game crash to the damned desktop at least 3x today playing in Taras Nabad. Got a feeling it was the latest drivers I installed, going to roll them back... had 0 issues up until I installed them yesterday.

DOOM 2016 is a great game, one of the best i have ever played.
I was so hyped, preorder deluxe edition and can't even run it.
Loose my money, time and trust to Bethesda.

? Obviously you are a troll, you choose to have an extremely bad PC with really bad specs, then you blame the game developers because they make games for people that can afford PCs..

Go play dota or runescape, or something else, many other games out there... buy an i5... DDR3? I bet it's only 1333mhz.. or something mega slow.. when the minimum for gaming in this era is 2666+

sorry to dig up this post, but I was wondering if it's actually Denuvo that needs SSE 4.1? I suppose you'd need to test that DRM free version of the .exe that they gave you before it was removed with the first patch.

Considering it's been patched out of multiple games in the past without touching Denuvo at all. Doubtful. Plus a number of Denuvo games that also had SSE4.1 requirements (before being patched) would often times still run until that instruction set was called, were it Denuvo in those cases the game never would have launched in the first place (launch is when Denuvo is "most active").

The instruction sets just speed up certain type computations and tasks. People had the same theory when stuff required AVX, but it just wouldn't make a whole lot of sense using special math instructions on a DRM/anti-tamper you wouldn't really gain anything.

Where are all these Phenom IIs users coming from? These CPU are fossils from the start of the last decade and ni it cant run Doom eternal it qont won't open becasue it doesn't have sse4 support.

They are closer to the "average user" spec wise than the people around here with flagship cards and 6+ core (non-bulldozer) CPUs.

Only six cores?

[Tyrannus]

My honest advice for anyone with a CPU of similar age/caliber to the Phenom II X6:

Having a decade old CPU like that and buying a brand new AAA title like Doom Eternal is just insane. You are moving your money in the complete wrong way. That's like buying an old rusted I4 Toyota Hilux followed by a brand new speed boat and then attempting to tow it. It's insanity. An R5 1600 can be had for $80 right now, and yet, you spend almost that entire amount on Doom Eternal.

You people are insane.

[Slicer160]

Yes and no. This game will not launch from steam because it will look for CPU compatibility with SSE 4.2. The only option is to get an “unofficial” copy of t he game and download the SSE fix replacing one of the dll files.
I have it working on my old Xeon cores and it runs awesome. Phenom will also run it awesome. The SSE 4.2 instructions are literally only used in some media files and have no bearing on the game. They need to patch this to work with older CPUs because they run them just fine.

I can confirm doom 2016 ran pretty decent on a phenom II x6 1100T (with the sse fix!) and it had about the same performance as my later overclocked fx 8350. Time to upgrade dude, going to a 2600x with an rx 580 (about the same as your 1060?) more than doubled my minimum frames in every game and anything that didn't run, or ran like trash on the fx/phenom, now at least could hold 60-100 fps consistent.
