The Doom Beta might be scary, but its system requirements aren't

Doom is back, and you’ll be able to dive into the Closed Beta on May 13 if you’re the lucky owner of a code. If you believe in making your own luck, pre-ordering Wolfenstein: The New Order before May 26 will snag you one.

Those planning to play the gore-geous FPS on PC will need their rig to match Bethesda’s minimum requirements, which have been unveiled in an official FAQ.

To run it at 1,280 x 720 resolution you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD FX-8320 processor, paired with a minimum of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB). NVIDIA has stressed that its GeForce GTX 750 Ti and mobile GPUs are not supported.

Those aren’t particularly taxing requirements, and Bethesda and ID have warned that you’ll need a beefier spec to run the finished product.

The Beta kicks off on Thursday March 31 at 10pm Eastern Time and finishes on Sunday April 3 at 11:59 Eastern Time. Click here to convert those times to your local time zone.
