Mostly spoiler free. Looks like it's going to deliver the goods.
I totally forgot this comes out at 9 PST tonight
Pretty pumped!
For 4K at 60 FPS. Why salty?
Do you know that the game doesn't have requirements for more CPU grunt as settings increase?
I'll grant that they could just be playing along, but they could also be serious.
In case any of you still had it in your head that you needed a 9900k to get the most out of this game on Ultra Nightmare. Using Idtech 7! Using Vulkan!
I'm watching a Tyson and Eminem hot box podcast, lol.I’m sipping whiskey on the deck, and smoking a cigar right now with some loungey music on passing time until 9.
there are certain people here who upgrade GPU's/CPU's every single time a new one is released...I think they hate hearing that you don't need a 2080Ti for 88% of games (unless you're gaming at 4K)...the 1st gen RTX cards were a prototype for ray-tracing...it's only with the 2nd gen RTX cards where you'll start to see more games and better implementation of it
for a lot of people upgrading every generation has nothing to do with not being able to afford it...it has more to do with being smart and looking at the current gaming landscape...I wish more developers would use Vulkan...both Eternal and Doom 2016 are so well optimized across a wide variety of hardware
I never preload games as I have a fast internet connection...plus when you preload unpacking takes an annoyingly long time
6 minutes till unlock!
but to me, the game looks, i dont know how to put it, outdated????? It just didnt look sharp *shrugs*
I'm having the performance issue and I'm not running any overlays. The game will start out running in the 90s. As soon as I open a menu the game stays locked at 45 FPS until I restart the game. Using the newest driver.Have the latest, but I fixed it
It was either the steam or nvidia overlay. Disabled them and literally went from like under 30 fps to 95 fps at that same place.
graphics look a bit worse overall compared to Doom 2016 (Doom 2016 gave you multiple Rendering Options and I played it on Gritty which made the image really pop)...
It's not just menus. My CPU is usage is apparently shitting the bed at random times. I can fix it by changing a video setting and applying it and it will be good for a small amount of time until shit hits the fan again. The game is otherwise running 80-90 FPS at 4K with all Ultra Nightmare settings.
It's something to do with V-Sync. If I turn it off it runs at a near constant 130 FPS. If I turn on any type of V-Sync it acts like it's double buffered even though I have G-Sync turned on. Whenever that happens, though, the CPU graph on the in-game metrics gets pegged red and the game gets locked to 45 FPS. The 130 FPS would normally be fine, but I'm running my monitor at 98 Hz to use full RGB with HDR and the tearing is already driving me nuts. I'm going to try the FPS limiter without V-Sync to get rid of the tearing, so hopefully that will work. If not I'll try rolling back to the previous driver.I'm not sure if it applies to Turing cards but I hear the newest Nvidia drivers perform worse then the last official set (at least for Pascal cards)...which is why I stuck with the 442.59 driver
