Doom

Any chance Doom (the new one) would run on a low budget PC?

Specs:

AMD Quad Core A10-7800

AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB

EDIT: Bought it and it runs surprisingly OK on low settings (obviously not at smooth 60fps, but I wasn't expecting that). Pretty bad mouse lag, but it's a lot better optimized than some games from 5 years ago even. Will look for some config files if I can turn down some transparency effects, those tend to be the biggest frame killer.

Will it run? Yes, it will. Is it going to be playable?...[Maybe?] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aQFrb7PDmA)

It really depends on what you define as playable. Also, I unfortunately do not know the extent of available resolutions for the game, though if you can get to Standard definition (800x600 or less) it actually may be alright.

Again I don't know for certain, maybe someone else knows? Hope it works out for you!

It's not likely. Your GPU is way below the requirements recommended for the game.

I think youre confusing recommended GPU with minimum reqiured, min requirements is an HD7870.

According to at Game Debate and gpuboss, the r7 has less than half the performance of the 7870.

Yup you're right, I apologize. Nearly 4 times the performance. I mistakenly referenced the wrong card when comparing. Although Im still honestly surprised by how outclassed the 240 is.

That's what I meant, sorry. How close is an r7 to the 7870?
