Overclockers Achieve 1000 FPS On Doom Eternal

When id Tech's lead developer announced that id Tech 7 the game engine responsible for Doom Eternal could run at 1000 FPS many assumed current hardware wouldn't be able to hit the mark. Polish hardware retailer X-kom in collaboration with Bethesda has achieved this feat with only consumer hardware and some serious liquid nitrogen overclocking. The challenge was part of the QuakeCon at Home event and saw X-kom push the Intel Core i7 9700K to 6.6 GHz paired with an ASUS RTX 2080Ti Strix overclocked to 2.4 GHz. The motherboard used was the ASUS Maximus XI APEX which was powered by a 1200 W Be Quiet Straight Power supply.

EarthDogWho is this marketing to, though? You don't game like this... so....... I don't get how it can be marketing.

Perhaps a bad choice of news for this crowd? lol
You only need to double check the logo, and really... isn't this explaining the obvious? Come on now. Speaking of 'this crowd' as if it is somehow beneath you, and missing this? Pfew.


Not to mention the content itself which is plastered full of shiny trademarks of a range of companies.

I don't recognize that logo in the first place. What is it? EDIT: LOL Bethesda... but who cares. What is this marketing an unrealistic cooling method to achieve something nobody wants to? I don't get it.

Uhh, the context of which many don't have the skillsets I do. There is but a handful of people here that know what to do with LN2 here. The rest would drink it or put it in a glove. ;)

I also didn't watch the video in the first place. If anything is below me......... it's taking the time to watch the video and respond and going by the thread title and a bunch of posts, lol.

Anyway, I just saw whats his face's post and I worry this is OT so... I digress. :)

Bethesda logo. This whole thing is sponsored content. In other words, this 'news article' is just advertorial at best. Without telling us.

Not a big fan of that tbh. I don't sponsor this site for that.

I'm with EarthDog on this one. Marketing? Really? What could Bethesda possibly have to do with this? Even if they paid for all the hardware, I still don't see how Bethesda is marketing anything. Nobody's going to spend thousands to play Doom with LN2.

I have to agree with the raised eyebrow to the marketing perspective. While it's not unreasonable to expect that Bethesda wants to promote their game and name, the whole point of that effort was to experiment and tinker to see how far they could push the limit. And let's face facts, 1000fps is a seriously respectable mark to hit given that even old games like Quake 1 still struggle to get past 900fps in a timedemo on a 4.1ghz CPU and an RTX2080. Name your game or benchmark, old or new, and getting to 1000fps is going to be a tough mark to hit at modern resolutions.

Is 1000fps useful in any way what-so-ever? No.
Is it bad-ass to try and succeed or even get close? Hell yes!
