This is becoming the norm over the last few years, and it’s great to see id include them here. For starters, it’s great to see extensive colorblind options. There are a few things to note in the options available, and even in how these options are presented. I won’t go through every single one, but see the images below on just what there is on offer: There are a metric ton of options for us to tweak. Id Software has really catered to us PC gamers. Unlike consoles, we really can have the best visuals and best performance. This notion of having our cake and eating it too is what I love about PC gaming. I’m a huge fan of Vulkan, primarily because it allows developers to create some seriously impressive looking visuals, while delivering extremely high performance. For mainstream cards, setting these to High or Ultra should do just fine.ĭOOM Eternal is utilizing the Vulkan API in their latest id Tech 7 engine powering the game. Turning this down one or two notches should help without a huge hit to visuals. Reflections can be a bit intense as well, especially given all the blood and gore which gets piled up as you rip and tear. Low shadows still look acceptable, but honestly, you might be able to get away with High or Ultra shadows on a mainstream graphics card. If you have a card with limited VRAM, you might want to tweak these two accordingly.Īdditionally, Shadow Quality has an impact on performance directly. However, Shadow Quality is also reliant on VRAM. In short, if you have 8 GB of VRAM, you can get away with selecting Ultra. Texture pool is reliant on how much VRAM (memory) you have on your graphics card. If you are looking to gain back some performance, there are four big ones to reduce right away (in order of how they appear in the graphics settings): In general, there are six total presets for graphics quality: FOV maxed (120), all graphics enabled or maxed out.Game installed to 1 TB Samsung 970 EVO NVME.MONITOR: Acer Predator X34 3440 x 1440 Gsync 120 Hz.DRIVERS: Nvidia 442.74 (Game Ready driver).It should nevertheless provide comfort knowing that DOOM Eternal is incredibly well optimized, and running at very high framerates should be possible even on more mainstream hardware. Note, I am fully aware not everyone has access to such high end hardware. I list these so as to provide context for the rest of this discussion with respect to performance and visuals. Settings to tweak to gain performance – I’m placing this up front for those of you who just want to know what to turn down to save on performance, and may not necessarily care about various other options in the gameįirst up, here are the specs of my PC.My PC specs so you can (somewhat) gauge your own performance, and get an understanding of just how well optimized the game is.This article will discuss a few pieces of information that I think will be most valuable to PC gamers:
