D3机器配制
BN上有的网友向Bashiok打听08年BlizzCon上运行暗黑破坏神3demo的机器是什么配置，想借此了解一些关于D3对配置要求的信息，结果被泼了盆冷水。
Bashiok：
那些机器（的配置）可谓疯狂。
其实那些机器如何跟D3的配置要求没啥关系，理由有几个。
大多数的展示用机器都是硬件厂商租借给我们的。我们关心的是如何使我们的游戏看着美、跑着顺，而他们在意的是如何展示他们犀利的硬件。所以基本上来说那些机器用的都是（当时）最新最好的顶级配置。
因为我们手上只有个未完成的版本，所以我们得考虑硬件的问题，我们就为展示用机器的配置专门做了个展示用版本。很明显游戏还没进入发售前必要的质检和硬件兼容性测试阶段，所以我们要做的是确保游戏在（展示用机器）这一套特定的配置上能正确的运行。
从另一方面来说，这样做也可以帮助我们避免一些优化游戏带来的潜在技术障碍。让机器承担更繁重的CPU/内存/3D运算负担，一般来说那些未优化程序会有的种种问题就不会在这短短的展示上添什么乱了。
因此，硬件厂商想show他们的硬件，我们想让我们的未优化版本游戏跑得好，结果就是那些展示用机器的配置很可能会比我们（在游戏上市后）给出的“推荐配置”还高出许多，更别说“最低要求”了。
这只是很正常的情况罢了，而最后很可能我们在这里用的配置就是给你们的“推荐配置”，我这样说基本不会错的。然而不管怎样，现在就别管那些配置配置了，还有...我 就 是 不 告 诉 你 们！；)
然而不久之后就有另外一位自称参加了08年BlizzCon的网友爆出了他记下的展示用机配置。
CPU：酷睿2双核 2.5GHz或2.6GHz（根据展区不同）
内存：4G（速度未知）
显卡：ATI HD 3870或HD 4870（根据展区不同）
系统：64位 Windows Vista

Bashiok:
They were insane.
There's a few reasons why it doesn't matter what those machines were though.
Most machines are lent to us by hardware vendors. It's in our interest to have our games look good and run well, and it's in their interest to show off the latest and greatest their company has to offer. So generally they're top of the line, using all the newest and best hardware.
Because we're working with a pre-release version we work with the hardware that's going to be on the show floor to build a final show floor build. The game hasn't hit (obviously) final QA and hardware compatibility testing as it would before release to the public, so we need to ensure it's going to run smoothly on this one specific set of hardware for the show.
It can also help, to a degree, overcome some potential technical hurdles we could run into with a pre-optimized build of the game. Throw more CPU/RAM/3D processing at it, and generally those pre-optimized problems won't throw a wrench into the brief glimpse of a game that isn't finished yet.
So, the combination of having hardware vendors showing off the latest and greatest, coupled with our interest to have a unoptimized version of the game look good, leads to show floor specifications that are probably way beyond what even the final "Recommended" specs for the game would be, let alone "Required".
This is the general outcome anyway, it could turn out that hardware we had is EXACTLY recommended spec and I'm TOOMA here. But regardless it really wouldn't matter at this time, and also... I'm noooot goooonna teeeeell yooooou! ;)
core 2 duo 2.5 or 2.6 ghz depending on the station.
4gb ram (no idea what speed)
3870 or 4870 ATI cards depending on station
vista 64bit
Q u o t e:
also... I'm noooot goooonna teeeeell yooooou! ;)
I'm content with that.
It's better then: I'm going to tell you "soon".
:P
