The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 65 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
DOOM Eternal recommends a Core i7-6700K or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for DOOM Eternal, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
4 GB min · 6 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 4 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 6 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in DOOM Eternal
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 30 FPS at 1080p.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
