Ah thanks mate, I thought that only disabled the glowy bits when they can be fatalitied.
For anyone having problems like me with a 390/X and low frame rate you need to set shadows to low in order to get a locked 60FPS at 1920x1200. I have an I7 [email protected] so my CPU is not the culprit and of course I'm using the latest crimson 16.5.2.
If I set shadows to ultra I get 30FPS, with nightmare as low as 20FPS. I'm not sure why shadows are having such a drastic effect on performance and the various quality settings seem to have very little effect on image quality. AMDMatt, are shadows bugged on these cards?
Also, player shadow setting seems not to be working either.

No issue here on 290 I have High preset selected though at 1440p am getting most the time over 60fps, I say its around 60-80fps with odd drops into 50s
at 1080p is always in the 70s never drops below. Ultra on the other hand is very demanding at 1440p
Vulkan Patch couldn't come soon enough
Well the game also runs at 60fps on consoles so something would be terribly wrong if it weren't doing 1080p/60fps on a GTX980!

It's strange that you're not having these problems as well, I've seen lots of 390/X users with these problems on reddit. Maybe it's a driver bug that just affects the 390 series cards.

This game is very good. It is Doom and not some console fodder. It feels like a PC game but there is one thing missing. Quick save.

I'm on a 390x, 1080p and everything ultra. Have only seen fps drop below 60fps briefly so far - right at the start and a bit about an hour later. The rest of the time 70-80fps. I'm only 3hrs in mind - so that may change!
That's a good thing!

I'm surprised how well mines running. Usually I feel that people must be exaggerating their fps on most games as i dont tend to get as much on most games. I'm 2560x1440 everything on ultra/high, every extra on, with 8AA 16AF & seem to be at 45-70 & very smooth with a gtx970. Only played 30 min blast at 1am, had work today. Will play more over weekend.
Think I'm getting old & not enjoying games as much these days or expect more but I feel it's a bit "meh" atm. Feel like it might be quite repetitive. I actually love serious sam as well. Early days, fingers crossed I get into it later
edit - this is without trying the New Doom driver. Will down load those when home

There's very little about it that I don't like so far, but a quick save option would be nice.

Indeed, I hate to battle through loads of parts of the level only to die and then have to repeat the last five minutes. Mostly though, it has not been an issue.
This is right at the beginning, particularly in the opening room, if I have shadows set to Ultra or higher I have 30FPS or less, tried with VSync on and off.

Performance gets better, That first room was demanding.
I get the same as you on a 290, going to try the low shadows when I get in later see if fixes the issue. Spent ages last night flicking between settings/changing drivers/overclocking/underclocking/power settings etc.
It's annoying because it'll be flying along no problem then there'll be one point in a room that'll make it drop the framerate through the floor and it could be anything from a candle, to a flickering light, to some smoke on a random wall vent.

Turn off self shadow, I couldn't see it and it seemed to improve performance.

You have a 144fps monitor? V-sync should give you 144fps.
