My system has a powerful setup with a 2070 super, 16GB RAM, and an i7-7700. I see smooth 144+fps in Doom Eternal, but sometimes it feels weirdly choppy when recording or not recording.

Hey there! Make sure Vsync is off both inside the game and in your NVIDIA 3D settings. Also, don’t have G-Sync or Freesync active. What resolution are you using? And how are your CPU loads looking—your stats are through the roof. You can try capping your FPS at 144 or adjusting your monitor to 240Hz if needed.

We should accept it—it's frustrating having to adjust video settings on the control panel just to watch a game, especially when it causes tearing. I think fixing the game would be better since the campaign already works perfectly.

Hey there! I discovered a few tweaks that might improve your experience with Doom Eternal. Here’s what I did:

1. Turned off the Steam overlay.
2. Disabled the FPS counter in the Steam client if it was on.
3. When you right-click on your desktop and open Display Settings, set your scale and layout to 100%.
4. Checked for background apps like Discord, Teamspeak, or browsers—these can cause lag.
5. Ensured VSync and G-Sync are not enabled.
6. Updated your CPU, GPU, and motherboard BIOS.
7. Monitored CPU usage; if it exceeds 70-80% or GPU usage hits 97%, cap FPS to match your monitor’s refresh rate (aim for 60Hz or higher).
8. Noted that Doom Eternal is quite CPU-intensive. I noticed lag when running high frame rates (200+), especially at lower resolutions like 1080p and 1440p. On 16-core CPUs, it usually handles 5950x smoothly, but 4K pushes it to its limits.

My biggest concern was the scale and layout settings—it really affected performance and caused stutters, even though my CPU usage stayed low at 30%. If you’re seeing issues, it might be a CPU bottleneck, especially during intense scenes. The game gets much smoother with these adjustments.

It really adds up, my CPU is a 7700 non-K from a prebuilt system with four cores. I've made many upgrades, but the only changes I've made are to the CPU and motherboard.

It seems like you're describing a sudden and unexpected decrease in speed. Could you clarify if this happened during a driving situation, a game, or another context? That way, I can provide a more accurate explanation.

It just happened suddenly—my knee got caught off guard. I made sure the temperature stayed under 80 degrees and I was able to push hard, but I’m not sure what’s causing it.

My chipset is unknown. I think I can just check cpu-z, but maybe it’s not the issue. I’m using a prebuilt system I upgraded heavily, on a standard motherboard, with a decent CPU—no details available online, so it could be something else.
