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

    • finally [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience.
    • Let me get this straight... It was a web interface for Gmail, so if privacy at Google wasn't concerning enough you'd be going through two companies. And their big feature was the very thing that would make people consider dumping Gmail.
    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
