Succeeded in playing the game at a surprisingly high frame rate of 1000 fps, what kind of PC is needed?

'

DOOM Eternal, ' which was released in March 2020 as the latest work in the DOOM series , uses id Software 's game engine ' id Tech 7 ', which is the developer, and allows null null play at a maximum of 1000 fps . .. To achieve this, employees of Bethesda Softworks, the distributor of DOOM Eternal, are verifying the necessary hardware.

'Doom Eternal' Runs at 1,000 FPS, If You've Got Liquid Nitrogen

Billy Khan, lead programmer at DOOM Eternal, said in an interview with game media IGN that 'iD Tech 7 could reach a high frame rate of 1000 fps with the right hardware'. In addition, DOOM Eternal can achieve a very high frame rate of up to 1000 fps. In response, Lukasz Lesniewski, community manager for the Polish branch of Bethesda Softworks, challenged himself to build a 'PC capable of reaching 1000fps with DOOM Eternal'.

Lesniewski is Marcin “Ryba” Rywak (left), who is in charge of research and development at Polish hardware retailer x-kom to achieve 1000 fps with DOOM Eternal, and technology blogger Piotr “Lipton” We're working with Szymanski (right).

The two people used the ASUS graphics card

ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-O11G-GAMING , Intel's 8-core processor i7-9700K , HyperX Predator DDR4 memory, Samsung's M.2 standard SSD, and Be quiet with a 1200W power supply unit ! Made PC case. According to Lipton, 'it took a day' just to assemble these components.

It seems that the DOOM Eternal achieved about 500-600fps just by using these. However, the goal was to achieve '1000fps'. Ryba, a well-known overclocker in Europe, said that it might be necessary to use a fairly tricky technique to achieve 1000 fps with DOOM Eternal. 'It's much easier to control the same benchmark all the time. The game makes it harder to predict the entire process in terms of hardware load, and there are safety issues while running frozen hardware. There is a possibility,” he said, without actually freezing the PC, 1000fps cannot be achieved.

The power of the PC case used is very strong at 1200W, so if you overclock this, the PC body will become very hot. Therefore, overclocking can be difficult without the proper cooling system. The x-kom team has adopted a method of cooling the PC using liquid nitrogen of minus 196 degrees to achieve 1000 fps. As a result, the eight cores of the i7-9700K all operate at 6.6 GHz, and the maximum frame rate is 1006 fps. In the tutorial part, we recorded even higher '1014 fps'.

'Unbelievably, we've finally made a PC that can reach 1000fps!' Lipton says.
