What are you playing Doom on these days?

[Cadman]

Well, Here is my basic info on my system that I play all Doom stuff on including my level editing...

 

Windows 11

Intel Core i9 3.6ghz

32 Gigs Ram

Nvidia 3080 Graphics with 10 Gigs Ram

1 TB HDD

2 TB SDD

Liquid Cooling

2 Monitor setup (one 34 inch G Sync curved and one 24 inch flat screen)

Razer gaming keyboard and mouse

 

That's it in a nutshell...my 1st computer when I first started playing Doom was only a 486 processor at 25mhz with 2 megs of ram!  How times have changed.

64GB of DDR4

NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER

2 1TB Western Digital Black HDD

1 512MB ADATA SSD (system)

1 1TB ADATA SSD (games)
2-monitor setup and a drawing tablet

but if I am away I'll just boot Doom up on my Switch.

Windows 10

Modest, but they get it done. My first Doom experience was on a 486sx33 with 4MB Ram, a 210mb hard drive, MS-DOS6.2 and Windows 3.1. It didn't even have a SoundBlaster card so I had PC speaker sound until we got a CD-ROM which came with a Soundblaster compatible soundcard and I could finally hear the glorious shotgun for the first time... ahhh, memories... :)

Windows 11 & Fedora Linux

HP X27q 1440p 165hz 27-inch, LG 24GN50W 1080p 144hz 24-inch

 

good enough for most maps in software renderer...mostly...

handles literally anything in DSDA-Doom tho

[LegendaryEevee]

1.  PlayStation 4 Unity port is what I'm recording my channel's videos on (DooM, DooM II, & DooM 2016, until I can get a proper desktop this is so I can record commentary over the headset so the walkthrough makes sense as I do it.

 

2.  The PlayStation final Doom recordings and WAD trailer clips are done at work with no commentary on GZ Doom w/ settings to strict. No freelook on a Windows 10 / 64 bit / 20+ GB RAM NVIDIA / using gaming toolbars screen recording (Windows Key + Alt + r). 

[kalensar]

Oh boy. Potato Power

 

AMD Dual core 1.4ghz

4GB DDr3 512mb Vid RAM

Linux Mint 21

 

Never gonna win any awards on beauty but it handles most Doom wads and GZDoom mods way better than you'd think. 

 

 

[rita remton]

my lappy:
 

intel i7-with a bunch of numbers i could not copy and paste.
intel hd graphics 4000 (so old that the dynamics lights in gzdoom could not create shadows with 1 sided walls).
windows 8.1

already 11 years old, and still going strong :)

[lumely]

Windows 10

Intel Core i5 8500@3.00GHz

8GB RAM

stock Intel UHD 630

dual monitor setup

 

I mostly play Doom at work (I work third shift so my job is 90% downtime) and the compy at my desk has the above specs. I keep Doom Launcher and my wads on a flash drive so I can plug and play it wherever. I only really play vanilla/Boom stuff (using Woof p much exclusively) which this setup handles flawlessly but I can't speak for intensive GZDoom stuff. My old setup (at my last, more depressing night shift job which did not provide me a computer) was a jailbroken Vita running PrBoom+ which was a bit of a nightmare on the hands and really held me back skill-level wise in retrospect.

[Arrowhead]

@Cadman

 

I've got surprisingly similar specs to you!

Sounds like you've got a better set-up overall, though!

 

Windows 10

i9 @ 3.6 GHZ

32 GB RAM

RTX 3080 w/ 10 GB

(2x) 1TB SSD

1 MSI curved monitor

Razer Huntsman v2 + Razer Basilisk

:)

[Professor Hastig]

 

Windows 11

Intel Core i7-13700

32 GB AM

Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12 GB

1 TB SSD + 5TB HDD

plus two older 1920x1080 monitors.

 

That CPU is really nice even for larger and more demanding maps, my last system was struggling a bit on some maps.

 

 

One quick note to previous posters.

 

'i5', 'i7', 'i9' with a clock rate means nothing. It's the number afterward that defines the actual CPU. As an example, an i7-4700 is probably just half as fast as an i7-13700 with the same clock rate.

- 32GB DDR5-6400, 

- 27 inch, 1440p, 240 Hz display

- 1TB HDD, 500GB SSD, 1TB SSD, 2TB SSD.

- SteelSeries mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Black switches. Specifically got this for Doom to avoid hitting input limits on shitty regular keyboards (a frequent problem when playing keyboard only). Also been very helpful for occasional splitscreen gaming in other games.

[Zerofuchs]

Eh been a while since I waved my specs around... bit moot really since even GZDoom runs fairly fine on even 10 year old business laptops, but the main devices I run it on these days:

Key specs, when the electricity is on:
AMD Ryzen 7900
64GB DDR5-5600
AMD 6600XT 8GB
Dell 1440p 27" @ 165hz
1TB Evo 970

When the power's out, there's the Switch port (surprisingly tolerable for a tiny screen + thumbsticks) and my old HP Elitebook with an early gen i5 running Ubuntu. Intel HD4000 iGPU I think? Good enough for regular GZDoom, PRBoom, etc. but it struggles with Supplice or other GZDoom derived full games for some reason. Probably because it only goes up to GL1.2

[Amiga Angel]

mostly on this...

AMD Ryzen™ 3 3200G with Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics and 16 GB memory + using SSD storage

[yakfak]

- laptop
- wow!

- pretty glowing keys

- one jammed fan

[roadworx]

An older HP Omen Laptop, but she has been reliable.

I normally use Doom Retro as my primary sourceport. GzDoom depending on if the wad needs it.

[Andromeda]

On a laptop currently:

 

AMD Ryzen 5 5600H

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

32 GB RAM (upgraded from 8, maxed out)

256 GB SSD

[vanilla_d00m]

Its broken now, won't turn on but I miss using it,

 

Windows XP

 

1-2gb ram I forgot

 

7gb disc space i forgot 

 

Standard video cards etc

 

2.6ghz

 

Used for retro games only in the 1990s.

 

It broke I think because I had a magnet sitting on top of it for weeks, the power lights on but fans wont turn on and nothing will boot on the screen..

[Sesamia]

Intel i5-12600kf
64 GB Corsair 3600 DDR4 RAM
Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD 2 TB
EVGA RTX 3060 12 GB

 

I put this together during the GPU shortage, so I took what I could get.  Eventually I want to upgrade to an i7-14700k, and a higher end 5000 series Nvidia RTX GPU if the price is right.  I have a feeling I'll be purchasing from AMD this time.

[Plerb]

An early 2010s Dell Optiplex with Linux Mint on it. It works pretty well for my purposes, although I'll need to upgrade the hard drive at some point which only has a measly 100 GB. Hopefully within the next year I'll obtain some old PCs from the mid-late 90s to have by my side, if life circumstances allow for that.

[Stupid Bunny]

 

Definitely firing up Sunder on this thing 

[Auron]

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

I'm currently using my 42' Panasonic TV for my gameplays.

[Lila Feuer]

Laptop for PC Doom using Nugget Doom for most things and GZDoom for port specific wads and gameplay mods. Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S for the re-release.

[WhateverComic07]

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

8gb ram (idk what type)

500gb SSD

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU

OS is Windows 10

1 monitor: 144 hz

 

This is a gaming laptop I bought a few years ago called the Lenovo Legion V.

[famicommander]

Some Ryzen APU build running Linux Mint. Not picking about specs, built it a few years back and it does the job. Also my Nintendo Switch.

 

And I still occasionally fire up Jaguar Doom, because my Jaguar is always hooked up for Tempest 2000+rotary controller purposes.

[ludicrous_peridot]

Playing in FreeDOS (or 98SE for later ports) on this machine (which kind of does limit the WAD-s that I play... with which I am perfectly fine). 

 

GA-G41M-Combo G41/ICH7 - Core 2 Quad Q9550 - DDR3 1033 - YMF744 (Cobra) - X3MB (Buran)

 

Haven't tried Sunder on it... hmmm...

 

Not using my Android phone for Doom anymore, but have an RGXX35 Plus, which can run vanilla with DOSBox fairly well!

[Trigsy]

Windows 10
AMD FX-8370
16GB DDR3 800

Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 960

I have a few drives, but the one with all of my Doom stuff is a 250GB-ish Hitachi SSD, of which it currently occupies about 2%. Granted, my WAD library is pretty sparse.

 

I also technically have Doom and Doom 2 on my phone, but like... I keep those ironically. I tried touchscreen Doom and I hated it, but both games have such a small footprint that it's worth having them installed just so I can show people why I don't actually play those versions.
