Your Guess on Diablo 3's Recommended System Requirements?

[madd-hatter]

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.

to run at max settings i think you'll need a DX10 card

i think Starcraft 2 will make use of DX10 so it would only make sense if D3 was the same

[Berserk87]

vista only :rofl:

that would be a kick in the balls.

Yes it would mean I need to upgrade! Good job I have a Vista license.

[Evolution]

Starcraft II will make use of DX 10, but Blizzard never said they'd exclusively support it.... so they'll probably offer DX 9 & DX 10 versions, and the same should be the case for Diablo III.

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.

[Andre S. Veteran]

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.

10 GB HD

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?

[WastedJoker]

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?

They already said for Diablo III they have no plans to use DirectX 10... so no reason it needs to be Vista only.

I'll be playing it on Mac OS X anyways.

Maybe lower on the HD size, but yeah, sounds about right.

[litchel]

this sounds stupid, but do u reckon i could run it on a pentium 4 3.2 ghz, 1 gb ram, nvidia geforce fx5200 256mb? btw-win xp

on lowest graphics settings.

[shc-boomer]

Most likely on lowest settings, yes.... Maybe need a better vid card but thats about it!

[nubs]

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

[Shadrack]

The minimum requirements won't be as high as other games released around the same time. Still, I suspect that a multi-core proc with at least a 7800GT or equivalent graphics card will be required for how it is meant to be played.

[Ci7]

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

[revvo]

vista only :rofl:

that would be a kick in the balls.

Minimum Specs:

- Windows M.E

[Plaguebearer]

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

[babaan]

i hope its not required ShaderModel 3.0.....i hate Games that not run with SM 2.0 :(
