DX3 Minimum System Requirements

[Daedalus.]

Could someone out there please post the minimum system requirements for DX3?

I would like to know ASAP; so that, I could upgrade my current system as needed.

The official word is that it's too soon to know the system requirements. You could probably bet that it'll be around or a little higher than the requirements for Tomb Raider Underworld, though.

If I were you, if you're planning on upgrading your system for DX3 (like myself), then wait until you actually know the release date and get new hardware shortly before the game comes out.

Thank you, sir.

The only thing that can be stated with any degree of certainty is that you will need a Shader 3 capable graphics card. Also, feel free to check out Tomb Raider: Underworld requirements. Engine is the same, so it should at least give you a ball park idea. But as Mr. K said, if you are planning to upgrade, wait. You'll know exactly what you need, and parts will cost you less.

*Personal opinions ahead*

I think you will be safe if you have a semi decent dual core processor and an 8800GT or similar graphics card. Obviously if you would like to play it on a 24" monitor at its native resolution then you are going to need a bit more power ;)

I agree. like with most games, it will probably be the video card requirements that cause the most problems for people. as for the rest, I'd agree that a decent dual core + 2 gigs of ram will probably be enough. along with the right GFX card that is.

here's a nice place to check on games you want to play.

It's too early to be building a system just for this game.

It might never come out, it might come out in 2012 running on the UT5 engine etc. etc.

Since it's slated for console release as well I'd guess the specs wouldn't be silly high (and as mentioned above ^^^ you do have a rough indication in the form of TRU), but still.

If you've got an 8600 GT or better, you'll probably be able to run DX3 just fine at a modestly high resolution. As DXe said, If you're planning to play it on a 24" or 30" monitor at that screen's native resolution, chances are good you'll need something with a lot more oomph.

Indeed it is too early to say. The engine's been heavily modified since TRU so looking at that would be a rough baseline but we'll have to wait until closer to release to know for certain.

LMAO, that is one hell of a kit! :eek:

I don't need to update my PC for a long time.

It's got this magical ability of playing every game at max speeds and not crashing if you play it in a windowed mode.

Crysis! Max Settings! 30FPS! Windowed! No crashing!
GTAIV! Max Settings! Windowed! No crashing!

If your engine has stricter system requirements after modification, you are doing something very wrong. I hope EM coding team learned that from the IS' mistakes.

The final system requirements are more of a marketing decision than anything else. With that in mind, yeah, I would most certainly expect system requirements to be higher than these of TRU. How much better the game will end up looking due to this little extra space to maneuver in is up to the combined efforts of the artists and coders pushing off from each other's successes.

It all comes down to poly count nowadays. Although it is worth pointing out that one can run Bioshock on high with an old 2.6hz AMD CPU and a 6800gt at 1024X764 with roughly no frame rate drops. That's because of the heavy usage of bump mapping in that game that, at lest in Unreal 3, can be dropped by the render engine to keep frame rates high.

If Deus Ex 3 make's heavy usage of bump mapping and allow's the render engine to drop bump maps when the frame rate starts to hog, you might find that it will be able to run on second generation gear just fine.

Although Vista requires that you have an extra 2 GB of ram, along with whatever you want to play the game... I hate windows.

I still don't have a widescreen monitor.:hmm:

When I get one, preferably before DX3 is released, I'll aim for 1920x1080 resolution while I'm at it. And probably a new GPU to be able to handle the big leap from 1280x1024 to 1920x1080. Either something from the GTX series if their prices drop, or whatever is good and affordable at that time.

I've got one of these:

It works brilliantly and at that price you can't beat it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, I just checked and it's a lot more expensive here. I'll think of something.

A good site to help upgrade or build a new machine would be here (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366177) or this site (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/) to look on good offers at low prices and hear on feedback.

Tip: Make sure to lock your processor first time when building a machine! (or face a lost of 200 pounds on a quad core processor :( )

It's as if looking back in a perfect world this would would be Sonic the hedgehog 2006 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0VppuyWGMk).

I just watched that and thought of this: http://www.strimoo.com/video/15640011/Half-Baked-Enhancement-Smoker-par-Half-Baked-MySpaceVideos.html

Most new engine features require more powerful hardware, so I wouldn't say it's very wrong.

Also, Deus Ex 3 won't be released for the PS2 like TRU so they can push the limits further now with more polygons, more textures, more effects and so on, which will require more.

That said, if one have a computer that can run TRU very well, it will probably run Deus Ex 3 well too. But it would be insane to upgrade a computer now for a game that won't be released anytime soon, as hardware always get cheaper and better.

And nowdays the console hardware holds the game back. If one is pleased enough to run at 1024x768 or some other relatively low resolution, a cheap Radeon 4550 should be more than enough.
