DOOM 2016 HD PC Screenshots

Bethesda has recently released a new collection of Screenshots from the PC version of DOOM 2016, which uses the companies new id Tech 6 Engine, an engine that is designed to deliver an exceptional level of detail, though we will not know until  the game releases later this year exactly how much of a toll that will have on our hardware. 

Below are the minimum and recommended requirements for DOOM's closed alpha, which took place late last year. It required 8GB of RAM and 3GB of VRAM at 1080p. On the CPU side the devs recommend either an Intel i5 CPU at 3.3GHz or above or on the AMD side a FX 8350 8-core CPU, with the Intel CPU being bumped up to an i7 for the recommended requirements. 

For 1080p the developers recommend either a R9 280 or a GTX 780 GPU, which are GPUs that have a great difference in relative GPU power in most situations. It is assumes that these two GPUs have been chosen due to their built-in VRAM, rather than their prerformance. Remember that this is still an Alpha build.
