Way back in 1993, the original Doom was playable on PCs with a 386 processor, which was seven-year-old tech at the time. The next game in the series, also known as Doom, will require a little bit more horsepower under the hood.
Released by id Software earlier this week on Bethesda.net, the minimum and recommended specifications for Doom can be found right here:
