This is the hardware recommended for Doom Eternal https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en/arti...ch-details I've gone a while without upgrading my pc, and I'm looking to run a solid 100-130 fps on ultra 1080p. (To be clear the "Ultra Nightmare" tab is what they are calling the game maxed out on ultra) Here are my Specs Mobo- Gigabyte G-A-H97-D3H Ram- 8gb of ddr3 (I have 16 gb coming in the mail) Cpu- i7 4790k quad core Gpu- Msi GTX 980 4gb Psu- I think 600-750 (gotta find out but it runs all of this well) I'm thinking that upgrading my Gpu is the best option, would love some advice I'm concerned my clock rate is too slow to run this 100fps+ without turning down to low settings. Supposedly the engine is vulkan only for slower hardware but I don't wanna take chances

What amount were you aiming to invest?

If you're not aiming for a complete system refresh, then focusing on the GPU is a good first step. It seems your GPU meets the basic requirements, but it might still be struggling. I own an RX 470, so you're likely experiencing similar age-related performance drops as mine.

As long as the Gpu is a lot better than what I currently have it will be great, i'd say $400-$600 range, prices have changed a whole lot; so maybe less if I can get a considerable performance increase with a cheaper card. I'm not good at understanding gpu specs so i'd love some help. Seemingly at that price I can almost get 2x the clock rate on a gpu not sure how important that is compared to memory and what not

This card remains solid, though its age is noticeable. For a GPU, you're looking at options to get the performance boost you need. Clock rates matter because they affect how quickly data moves through the chip, especially when paired with memory speed. It's all about balancing those factors for the best results.

If you're leaning toward Nvidia, I wouldn't settle for anything below an RTX 2060 Super or 2070. The GTX 1660TI is a solid pick due to its cost, though its performance isn't great and it's more of a quick fix.

Hey there! It's wild to remember how much things changed over the past four years. Your GTX 980 was a big deal back then, and now an RTX 2060 is way more powerful. Are you worried your CPU might slow things down? Also, finding the right card voltage seems tough—any tips?

It's understandable to feel that way. The I7-4790K has only four cores and eight threads, but its clock speed helps compensate. I once owned one too. If budget is tight, you can still function well with a CPU of similar quality.

Do you think it might slow things down? If yes, I’d consider an upgrade; otherwise, I’ll leave it as is. Figuring out if the CPU is performing well isn’t always clear.

I believe you'll handle this benchmark well. I wouldn't settle for anything less than a 2060 super.
