The unpacking process takes its time...

Can you close the VPN whilst it's unpacking? Rest of internet is slow otherwise?

Yup, thats what i did to speed it up, have to close steam and reenable vpn to play though.

Some 4k piccies

Gunplay seems very solid as is the movement, the glory kills are very fluid as well.

Think thats it on ultra nightmare with cinematic effect enabled. Doesn't seem to be a built in benchmark

After looking through the options again ultra nightmare doesn't seem to be an actual graphics setting. Nightmare is found under show performance metrics but the actual video options scale upto ultra. Unless nightmare is the addition of the cinematic, gritty effects?

I'll be interested to see how people do running this on a single 970

Same here. Got it for £5 as I had £20 sitting in my kinguin account which was a refund from a dodgy Windows key.

Going to be running it @ 3440x1440. Worse case scenario I can move my 980 from my racing rig.

It's very taxing maxed out at 3440x1440 i'm getting around 60fps on sli 980ti. It does support 21:9.

That said the movement and gun play is super smooth and it looks pretty decent.

No nivia geforce profile yet for those who want it.

They can do what they like once it is bound in a legal document.

I'm pretty sure that legal document would hold no power in Europe and would easily be overtuned not that anyone would go to those lengths.

Also its in their interest to let people do it, they lose nothing by it.

GFX look good, framerates not as high as I thought it might be. And I've never liked the film grain effect in games, hopefully it can be turned off?

What are you using to display the GPU details on the right side of the screen?

bugger, just can't get this to unlock. First time ever. Not sure what has changed on my pc.

Its a bit farcical that they think they can do that, if this was enforced they would essentially be banning a pretty large chunk of their user base. If the games paid for I don't really see the issue, not as if you're pirating a product.

The issue is tax. When you buy from NZ for example, the UK does not get the tax.

something daft already!! · 12 May 2016 at 16:12

Anyone on AMD with Doom driver installed running it yet?

The 1920x1080pixel display delivered 50-55fps results running on OpenGL, running on a id Software dev machine with a GeForce GTX 1080 handling graphics. The demo, though, ranged between 120 and 200fps once Vulkan was enabled, and remained above 120fps — a massive performance boost even within the likely carefully selected demo environment. Nvidia’s graphics cards for the last few years — all Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal parts — support Vulkan.

Vulkan support should be added “not long” after the game’s imminent launch, according to the devs, although OpenGL will be the only option straight out of the box.

Roll on Vulkan patch!

There is a difference between buying and unlocking early from NZ.

Buying is understandable. Unlocking a game early they don't care even when they say otherwise to cover their own back.

It wasn't a gtx 1080, was a mistake. Was a titan X regardless, Vulkan sounds like a decent improvement.

What's CPU usage like?

leon4112 · 12 May 2016 at 16:26

I gather we haven't had any new Nvidia drivers for this god i hope they help if some people are getting 60fps on 3440x1440 lol

Sega Mega Dave · 12 May 2016 at 16:26

Doesn't look like the MP servers are up for EU.

Just disconnects whenever you try go on.

Ah okay. Yeah that will be fine, misunderstood.

Thats the in game thing in advanced options "show performance metrics".

The game feels faster than it is probably due to the movement speed, doesnt really feel like 40ish fps.

And yes the film effects can be turned off

Get the chainsaw pretty early, and kills with it are very satisfying.
