im buying a hp dv5z with that gpu a 2.1 amd ultra zm-80 with 3 gb of ram
do u think i will b able to play it?

 

As with all the other blizzard games, I think Diablo 3 will also be very flexible with system specs/requirements. However, since there hasn't been any official word released from blizzard...so we can't be certain as of yet, but I have confidence that ati 3450 will be able to handle that game. Maybe someone else can chime in to help out.

 

Phil77777 i think you will do just great judging the Looks of the game, it will be using the CPU more than the GPU, and you have a great one, so you should do just great

 

the game will not be as graphically intensive as some newer games, but it will still be pretty good. i think your card will run it just fine. Blizzard is focused more on the gameplay then graphics, check out the diablo 3 site.

 

You should be able to play D3 on anything

 

That's the beauty about Blizzard: their games can be run on a various range of PCs. From what I read about StarCraft II, it won't be a system hog, and yet it might utilize DX10 and other extras for those who have better systems. I wouldn't be surprised if they take the same approach with Diablo 3.

 

Diablo 3 doesnt support DX10 only Starcraft 2 does

 

Like the rest of these posters, blizzard is very kind with their system requirements, very smart move on their part. Also most blizzard games have been more intensive on the CPUs than GPUs and CPUs are ahead of their time.

So, take it easy

 

Will all of the environment details wonder if it will just be an option then...I've been reading/and seeing from the preview, that the details are very precise:/...Cloth blowing, particles flying from explosions...looks like a lot of 'phsyx' stuff. Wonder how that will scale down...

 

Dont worry about that you can count on Blizz

 

lol you will For SURE be able to run Diablo III on your pc

 

back that up with a source?

afaik, no one knows much about diablo 3 except that its coming out and a few screenshots.

 

and i think he will max it on native.

 

Blizzard can be trusted indeed. Let's just let them come out with the games.

 

I've been wondering about this too. As far as I can see, this is the only game that I'm really looking forward too that I will stick with...I can't tell you how many hours I spent on D2.

I know no one really knows yet, but assuming that it's similar to the SC2 specs, I think we would have something to base it off of?

Do you guys think a laptop with the 9800m GTS card will be future proof enough to run D3?

 

Blizzard can be trusted on compabillities. But if you're talking about release dates...well that's another story.

 

You have nothing to worry about.

Well put...lol.

 

Blizzard has a way with making games playable on a variety of systems. This is smart marketing wise as they get more customers for a new game, but hurts the visual pleasantness of the game. Basically visually even at the highest settings blizzard games aren't that pleasing. As for it working on your card, Im sure youll be able to at least play the game. Although how well and at what settings I cant tell you as they are using a "custom" engine that resembles the havok engine. Either way hopefully there will be some dual core and/or SLi patch so people with more powerful systems can play with a higher level of detail.

 

as long as physx stays away and they stick with Havoc, everybody is fine

 

no, the blizzard custom engines actually look quite decent.

 

You can't really play the guessing game. In any case, I wouldn't worry. Blizzard is in the business of making money, yes money, not games. They will release the game to work on whatever the market specs is at the date of release. This will ensure the most installed base. Trust me. I know

 

As far as I've heard SC2 doesn't have any DX10 features at the moment, although they're considering adding some if there's time. D3 we of course know nothing.

 

erm.. Blizzard themselves said that on release date, which made a big talk around the game, because its coming in 2009 and how come it wont have DX10.. but they said that not me, i saw that on yougamers.com on the announcement day

 

can D3 even run on a intel gma x3100?

 

now that may be a little bit of strech, min settings maybe. its still a "future game" I'd say at least a 8400m gs on the safe side to run D3
