INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Just a day ago, we spotted some system requirements for Doom Eternal that were way higher than we expected
Doom Eternal system requirements have now been revealed on Bethesda's blog, and they're much more reasonable than the brief requirements
That earlier post suggested that you would need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060at the minimum, along with 8GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5
more accessible level of hardware
We listed out the full Doom Eternal system requirements below, but it's a relief to know that more people can go to Hell (if they want
to).The only thing that really sticks out to us is the CPU requirements
For the recommended and the 'Ultra-Nightmare' settings, Bethesda and id Software give specific CPUs to aim for, which we'll dive into more
below, but for the minimum just has a clock speed as a target
This may not be super helpful for people looking to see if their CPU meets the minimum requirements or not, as "Intel Core i5 @ 3.3GHz"
download the game early, you're in luck

hard to nail down the perfect system to play the game
3.5 GHz or 3.1GHz, respectively, we can safely assume that the game isn't heavily threaded
For instance, the AMD Ryzen 3 1300X has a 3.5GHz base clock and just 4 single-threaded cores
That means that even old quad-core champs like the Intel Core i5-3570K should theoretically be fine
But, again, IPC (instructions per clock) performance has come a long way since either of these processors launched, so you can't be 100%
It calls for an Intel Core i9-9900K or an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, which may both be 8-core, 16-thread processors, but perform very differently
Intel's processor has stronger single-core performance, thanks to its high 5 GHz boost clock, whereas the Zen 2-based 3700X smokes it in
you just want to play at 1080p with high settings, this is the system we recommend:However, if you want to really embrace everything this

instead of the RTX 2080 Ti, but that comes down to the fact that Bethesda is recommending the Radeon VII for the same level of performance
Because the RTX 2080 Ti is so much more expensive, it's hard to recommend if you're able to get a similar level of performance out of a
