A Polish overclocking team has now tapped into Doom Eternal to drain the last bit of FPS out of ir. Extreme overclocking of the CPU and graphics card allowed the 1000 frames per second mark to be exceeded at times!, just for fun or fouce.



"Doom Eternal" uses the "id Tech 7" engine, which means that the still quite new PC game has relatively moderate system requirements, for example at least one AMD Radeon R9 280 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, both of which are several generations behind them to have. 1000 frames per second (fps) are still very high, after all, nowadays you can actually play with a constant over 60 fps without any problems.

As part of QuakeCon, game publisher Bethesda and the Polish overclocking team 'X-Kom' came together to achieve the goal of 1000 fps, which required extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen (LN2). The Intel Core i7-9700K processor was overclocked from 3.6 to 6.6 GHz and the ASUS Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Ti from 1350 to 2400 MHz. An ASUS Maximus XI APEX motherboard, 16 GByte HyperX Predator DDR4-4000 main memory and a Samsung 512GB M.2 NVMe Evo Plus SSD and a 1200W power supply.

With all this done, the super-cooled and overclocked system managed to pass the target figure of 1,000 FPS in Doom Eternal for this overclock.
