Overclockers Achieve 1000 FPS On Doom Eternal

[Uskompuf]

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.

They achieve 1000fps by looking at a wall...

 

[Vayra86]

This is so special, we totally couldn't do this in 1999 by looking at the sky.

'Challenge' lmao. You pressed a button to start the game. Pretty damn challenging indeed.

 

[Rob94hawk]

Do it at 4k and then I might be impressed.

Edit: I wouldn't be handling liquid nitrogen without protective gloves but that's just me.

 

[The Foldinator]

Aaa at least it's cool. sorry dry ice humor...

Whahaha, I can tell you that if you do that and you get that shit on your hands.......you WILL be burned..........Without gloves you will NOT be burned because the Nitrogen can escape.
With gloves the nitrogen can not escape quick enough so you will get burned.
That is why they have no gloves on

should watch one of the many oc streams from gamers nexus, its really fine, you can even poor it on your arm and it will just fall off, what you cant do is hold on to it.

 

[XL-R8R]

This isnt impressive?


I get like 2700fps+ while loading Company of Heroes and that includes more colours and detail than the wall used to achieve 1000fps shown in the video.






Blah.

This would be a good time for the SCIENCE B1TCH meme.

 

[AnarchoPrimitiv]

Oh no.... I'm sure Asus will use this to justify releasing a 1000Hz, 720p panel that covers 36% of the SRGB color space... Or maybe they'll bring back a 17 inch (22 inch deep,and of course with red and black styling, because we all know red and black means faster) CRT with 800x600 resolution creating the new "must have" among 1337 gamers

 

[neatfeatguy]

I disabled Vsync while playing Darkstone the other night - frame rate shot up into the 4k range. I don't need no stinking liquid nitrogen in my setup to break 1k FPS.

 

[Chris34]

I'd be impressed it they did it on a 1000hz LCD.

 

[[XC] Oj101]

I would imagine this has to do with the claim that the engine is capable of 1k FPS.

 

[Chrispy_]

Cool cool cool.
Does anyone know where I can buy a 1000Hz monitor?

you mean between the gloves and the hands?

Reminds me the argument for those not wanting to use seat belt in cars when they were made compulsory: "if you drive down a cliff you won't have time to undo your seat belt so I am not going to wear one".

 

[lexluthermiester]

Wow did the whiners come out in force for this one. The technical side of this seems lost on many...

I gotta agree with you on this one. At least the system is stable enough to game. Of course, you can't run a system in this way for very long, but that isn't the point...

 

[lexluthermiester]

Exactly. We're not talking about a 20year old game running on modern hardware like greased lightning. This a is a modern title, running on modern hardware in an extreme operating scenario. Whiners will be whiners it seems...

Then there are comments like the above... How do we respond to that except to...

I could be mistaken if the human eye has 30fps.

 

[xman2007]

All the whingers hitting 300fps let alone 1000?.......... thought not, seems like snowflakes dont know LN2 runs aren't meant to be taken serious but just to hit records, if you're not impressed, show your LN2 runs or STFU seriously...

 

[biffzinker]

I notice the difference on my monitor going from 60 FPS to 75 (74.956.) After that it’s hard for me notice any change.

 

[lexluthermiester]

That is not a set-in-stone fact. It's a general average. There are some people who have been tested to show a optical nerve pulse rate of 130hz. That number also depends on how you test the human eye. However most human beings can optically see the difference between 60hz and 120hz, and can perceive a difference between 120hz and 240hz even if they can not optically make out the individual frames. As a general rule we can detect differences in frame rates even if such is above our natural perception threshold.

I notice the difference on my monitor going from 60 FPS to 75 (74.956.) After that it’s hard for me notice any change.

This is an excellent example of my above statement. Optical perception varies from person to person.

ROFL.
If someone's girlfriend has a framerate then it's probably internet porn.

 

[micropage7]

maybe we can have 1000 fps too if we use small screen too like 3.5 inch

I dont know what to say.
take a "haha" upvote
