Your Guess on Diablo 3's Recommended System Requirements?


Recommended Posts

I probably spent thousands of hours playing Diablo 2.

I cannot wait to spend thousands of hours playing Diablo 3.

It's really the only PC game I've ever played (besides AoE2:Conq.) Neither required very high processing power and I still use the same PC. So... It's time to upgrade.

What's your guess on the recommended system requirements? (I want to run the game on it's highest mode.)

I'll go with this:

OS: Windows XP/Vista or MAC OSx4

CPU: 1.8+ GHz

RAM: 1 GB

HDD: ~8GBs

Video: GF6

My guess is like that because knowing blizzard, their games (at the moment of release) can still be played in a wide range of systems (as they said). With this I assume with the lowest possible effects, those will be the requirements.

We got to see an exclusive trailer and get privvy into at the lan party I attended over the weekend. The system requirements were posted on the internal forum and I can't access them anymore, but I will say that they are pretty low.

I wish Diablo 3 and future games in general were based purely on DX10, as by the time it comes out, DX10 cards and Windows Vista will have been around for about 3 years. If you compare with DX9, that would be like if in 2005 most games were still based on DX8 with some additional DX9 fluff for people with high-end hardware. It just doesn't make sense.

Blizzard has always been good at allowing their games to be run on almost any system. I am sure that Diablo III will be similar with it running really well on low quality systems.

QFT. Blizzard have always focussed on scalability over the very latest graphics in their games which is definately a good thing. That's not to say the graphics are bad or anything either.

Hmmm it's hard to say. Blizzard games never require a good computer. Their graphics are never really too impressive either, which is the reason why it can be played on so many systems.

The best guess I believe comes from yottabytewizard so far.

Btw, did they announce SC2's requirements yet?

Typical. I ditch my desktop PC because I was bored of the PC gaming scene and decide to give console gaming a try...only for Diablo III to be announced! I'm fairly sure Diablo III will not be coming out for the PS3, too!

I doubt my laptop will run it so does anyone know what the specs are likely to be?

You guys are way off. Blizzard is known for making highly scalable games that can reach as many people as possible.

The minimum specs will look like this

MAC OS / Windows XP or Later

1 GB Ram

1.5 GB HDD Space

Direct X 9.0c Compliant Video card with 128MB DDR

DVD or CD Drive

High Speed Internet Connection

OS : XP SP2+/Vista SP1 or MacOSX.4

CPU : 2.0 GHZ dual core , Quad core for optimal performance (provided they make it scaleable cpu thread wise )

Ram : 1GB min 2GB recommended

GPU : GF6/X1800 or better 256MB vram

HDD : around 6GB of space

  • 1 month later...

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

-WINDOWS XP/VISTA

-2.0 GhZ

-1 GB RAM

-256 MB GRAPHIC CARD

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

-WINDOWS XP/VISTA

-DUAL-CORE

-2 GB RAM

-512 MB GRAPHIC CARD

that's my opinion when i saw the gameplay video on the net...i think that a strong dual-core/quad-core processor won't be needed,simple 2x2.0 GhZ will do,and maybe even 1 GB RAM will be enough.but i'm sure that graphic card will have to be a good one

    • I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
