Just for some background information, Doom Eternal uses the new id Tech 7 engine, and the Vulkan API. Unlike Doom 2016, there’s no option to use openGL, Vulkan is the only API here.
Another important aspect of the game is how it manages its image quality settings and your graphics card’s VRAM capacity. There’s a total of 6 IQ presets, ranging from ‘Low’ to ‘Ultra Nightmare’. My initial intention was to benchmark all our GPUs using the Ultra Nightmare setting, just to see what kind of performance you can expect from the game with the eye candy cranked as high as it will go.
id Software had other ideas however, as there are strict limits on VRAM capacity – if you try to apply an IQ setting which will use more VRAM than is physically available from your graphics card, it simply won’t let you and a little message pops up telling you to lower the settings. What that means is, you are going to be limited by your GPU’s memory in your choice of IQ settings. As an idea, here are the VRAM requirements for all of the game’s IQ presets for 1080p:
  • Low – 2942MiB
  • Medium – 3502MiB
  • High – 4078MiB
  • Ultra – 5230MiB
  • Nightmare – 6254MiB
  • Ultra Nightmare – 6766MiB
Personally I like that the game has high framerates even at low resolutions. It looks like fairly high end cards are needed to play well at 4K resolutions.

    Normally I would buy this game right away but I think I want to wait on some reviews.

    My first gen i7 920 and GTX 1070 plays Doom Eternal (Deluxe) very well at 1440p and Ultra Nightmare. Difficult game for me on just the Hurt Me Plenty (second) difficulty. Still trying to remember the keys. Got my Amazon Prime skin (1 of 3) too.

    Edit: Without Vsync, I'm getting 90 FPS average. Though, I turn it on adaptive in-game.
