Doom - The Dark Ages (2025)

[mrk]

There is no additional latency that is noticeable really, but this is largely down to the game running at high fps without it anyway so you're always gonna get great latency with FG enabled on such a game.

Are people using Frame Generation? Given Doom Eternal is a quick game, why would you want to additional latency?

Personally I see 2 places where FG is useful:

Baseline 60-70FPS will net you around 120 FPS with 2x FG and is a significantly better experience with minimal visual artefacts and no noticeable effect on latency (EDIT: That is a slight lie but the sometimes impact on latency in that scenario is more than outweighed by the overall benefit).
Baseline 100+ FPS with MFG with a high refresh display (i.e. 240Hz)

Pretty much any other scenario is a nasty mess of warping/wobbling objects and other visual artefacts and/or noticeable additional latency which ruins the "higher" FPS i.e. 40FPS with FG topping that up to around "60-70" FPS is a choppy horrible mess that is probably less playable than the original 40 FPS.

Why aren't other developers using the ID tech engine instead of the turd that is Ue5?

Because UE5 is free until you sell your game, so if your game is a flop you don't pay anything for using the game engine

 

[Grim5]

Make sure using proper hdr settings

Exactly. Listen to mrk. Play on SDR...

Such a waste of a monitor.

 

[mrk]

Not so fast

I played chapter 2 in HDR after correcting the gamma as the earlier post showed and yeah it's very good

Watch in HDR obviously, it gets glorious once I'm outside!

May be useful for some..

No surprises at all, idtech it's just a fantastic engine.

Exactly that, DOOM 2016 was a masterclass, this seems to be a similar story, other developers need to take a good, long, hard look at what ID do!!

How do you use the shield to cross over to the other side? says press R twice. Has green markings on the other side.

edit - nevermind i looked up haha

having a blast so far and its running great

As usual the reddit hater wagon is out with a full fuel tank

Loving this, think it’s my favourite. Runs beautifully, 4K, DLAA, maxed out, don’t even need frame gen to get over 100fps.

Are you running a 5090 for those settings and that much FPS?

Turn hdr on in Windows before loading the game.

Thanks guys, Switched on Frame Gen and now hitting 133-165fps @ Nightmare ~ 6ms of latency from the Stats. Looks and runs fantastic Enjoyed the first couple of levels.
