One of the most significant gaming events of this spring was the release of the next part of Doom 4. The continuation of the legendary saga, which tells about the fight against the Martians, has a lot of fans and high ratings from various game editions. In addition, the improved idTech 6 engine and Vulkan technology allowed the graphics of the game to go far ahead.
Release
Despite the fact that the release of the game was postponed several times, as well as problems with the plot and script, we were still able to see the birth of Doom 4. The release date was postponed several times, but the game was released on May 13, 2016 under the general name DOOM. Despite the fact that the concept of the game has changed several times, the developers were still able to create a game worthy of their predecessors.
Minimum
Improving the graphics of the game did not pass without a trace. Technically, Doom 4 raised the requirements (system) not very high, especially for 2016, however, some difficulties may arise on low-power computers.
- To run the game at the minimum settings, you will need an operating system not lower than Windows 7. Despite the fact that the basic necessary software comes with video card drivers and Visual C ++, OS support is also necessary to ensure the interaction of components.
- Generation I5 processor with a frequency of 2.4 MHz. Options are possible here, even though these are “minimum” requirements. Given the specifics of modern applications, we can confidently say that the main load will be on the video card, which means that any quad-core processor with a frequency of 1.8 GHz or more can pull Doom 4.
- A video card is the most important element of any modern gaming computer. An NVIDIA GTX 670 with 2 gigabytes of memory can compensate for the lack of processor power. Given that this device is a flagship among budget gaming cards, there is nothing special about it.
- But the RAM you need 8 gigabytes. And it’s better not to save on it. Moreover, when it’s not about a laptop, increasing its volume does not constitute special problems either technically or financially.
In general, Doom 4 requirements (system) are not so high as to completely abandon the idea of playing the next series of your favorite saga.
Recommended
But for launching at maximum settings, Doom 4 has slightly higher (system) requirements. But they concern the most expensive parts of the computer.
- If you want to comfortably play the new part of the "Duma", then you need a more powerful car. At least the generation of Intel Core i7-3770.
- The situation with the video card is similar. You will need a new generation card, for example NVIDIA GTX 970 with 4 gigabytes of memory.
In addition to the above parameters, you will also need 55 gigabytes of free space on your hard drive, as well as a dedicated line for network play. The remaining characteristics remain unchanged. Thus, Doom 4 requirements (system) for the computer are not too high, so you can enjoy high-quality graphics.
