Following our GTX 1080 coverage of DOOM – and preempting the eventual review – we spent the time to execute GPU benchmarks of id Software's DOOM. The new FPS boasts high-fidelity visuals and fast-paced, Quake-era gameplay mechanics. Histrionic explosions dot Doom's hellscape, overblown only by its omnipresent red tint and magma flows. The game is heavy on particle effects and post-processing, performing much of its crunching toward the back of the GPU pipeline (after geometry and rasterization).

Geometry isn't particularly complex, with the game's indoor settings comprised almost entirely of labyrinthine corridors and rooms. Framerate fluctuates heavily; the more lighting effects and particle simulation in the camera frustum, the greater the swings in FPS as players emerge into or depart from lava-filled chambers and other areas of post-FX interest.

In this Doom graphics card benchmark, we test the framerate (FPS) of various GPUs in the new Doom “4” game, including the GTX 980 Ti, 980, 970, Fury X, 390X, 380X, and more. We'll briefly define game graphics settings first; game graphics definitions include brief discussion on TSSAA, directional occlusion quality, shadows, and more.

Note: Doom will soon add support for Vulkan. It's not here yet, but we've been told to expect Vulkan support within a few weeks of launch. All current tests were executed with OpenGL. We will revisit for Vulkan once the API is enabled.

Twenty two years ago an obscure game developer called id Software released a first-person shooter that would have a huge impact on the future of PC gaming, computer graphics and the industry as a whole, that game was Doom.Doom 3 Timedemo Download Adobe Reader

At the time I was 10, and while I can't exactly recall if my first encounter with the game came right then or a few years later, it certainly left a mark as it did to millions.

One thing I do know is that there is a significant divide between the 1993 sci-fi horror game and id Software’s 2016 reboot. As a young kid I couldn’t imagine playing this latest version of Doom, which is probably why it has been rated M for mature players over the age of 17. Even with that in mind, this game should not be played by the squeamish. It’s what you might call a bit... gory.

Then of course, this is what die-hard fans of the franchise are after, violence is part of the Doom DNA. The action seems to be centered around fast-paced action and some newly introduced finishing moves, dubbed 'Glory Kills' which are scripted animations. Basically you touch up the demons with your various range of projectile weapons and rather than spend more ammunition finishing them you can move in for the glory kill where you stomp on their head, naturally causing it to explode. Alternatively, you might rip off an arm, the action is random so it’s a lucky dip of bloody violence.

Helping to make the gore all the more real and enjoyable for the twisted folks that enjoy that kind of thing is the id Tech 6 game engine, designed specifically for the Doom reboot. The engine supports OpenGL, while Vulkan API support will be patched in at a later date.

For those of you out of the loop, Vulkan is the successor to OpenGL, offering an open-source alternative to Microsoft's DirectX API. Vulkan is cross-platform, meaning it isn't limited to Windows and other Microsoft platforms, and will be supported by Google's Android and Valve's Steam OS.

Coming up soon... Doom running on Vulkan (watch below)

Gamers got their first taste of Doom a month ago when a portion of the multiplayer mode entered a brief open beta. The beta provided access to Team Deathmatch and Warpath game modes on the Heatwave and Infernal maps. Many came away disappointed with the lack of tweakable game and graphics options along with the 60fps frame cap. Gamers weren't enthused after the brief look at the gameplay aspect either.Doom 3 Timedemo Download Adobe Flash Player

Historically, id's beta tests have served as a broader test for games' multiplayer capabilities, graphics optimization, and scaling. Thankfully, the beta was just that and now that the game is officially out we are pleased to find a good number of tweakable options including an unlocked frame rate. And although there are no full reviews of the game just yet -- Bethesda didn't give away any advance copies to the press -- 48 hours after release Steam's user reviews can give a pretty good indication that the game delivers: 92% positive scores out of 6,500+ reviews so far.

So then Doom isn’t a crappy PC port, phew!

In fact, this is a gift to the PC Master Race. The 4K visuals are amazing, excellent high resolution textures cover every surface, the lighting and shadows are on point and this all comes together to make those glory kill animations look insane. The question that remains now is, what kind of hardware do you require to enjoy those glory kills in all of their gory glory?Testing Notes

Doom doesn’t feature a benchmark tool and there aren’t any good pre-scripted sections of the game to test either. After playing for a few hours I decided to go back near the start of the game and benchmark the first main room that you enter full of Arch-Vile demons. Upon entering the room, we move left and then complete a number of laps before the 60 second test completes.

For testing the 'Ultra' preset was used with the exception of 'Decal Filtering' which was set to Anisotropic 16x from 8x. The game has been tested at 1080p, 1440p and 4K using the latest AMD and Nvidia drivers. This means the AMD Crimson Edition 16.5.2 and GeForce Game Ready 365.19 drivers were used.

Again, the benchmark pass was kept simple: we recorded 60 seconds of gameplay from the first level, we took the same path each time and we simply ran past any enemies.Test System SpecsDoom 3 Timedemo Download Adobe Premiere Pro
