Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Doom Eternal (id Tech 7) added DLSS in a later update. The engine is famously well-optimised, so this is mostly a 4K / weaker-GPU lever.
Lights QualityLow+9% FPS
Number and quality of dynamic lights — the heaviest GPU setting in busy arenas. High/Ultra looks great without the Nightmare cost.
Shadows QualityLow+8% FPS
Shadow resolution and filtering. Ultra is a clean step below Nightmare with barely a visual difference mid-fight.
Reflections QualityLow+6% FPS
Screen-space reflections on metal and blood. High is plenty during the carnage.
Volumetric QualityLow+5% FPS
Fog, smoke and god-rays. High keeps the mood while trimming a busy scene.
ParticlesLow+5% FPS
Gore, fire and explosion effects — lowering smooths the heaviest Slayer Gate fights.
Texture Pool SizeNightmare-1% FPS
How much VRAM is reserved for textures. Ultra is safe on 8GB; Nightmare wants 10GB+.
