Where the game's minimum requirements are now just about in line with
DOOM (2016)'s recommended. Based on our
recent hands-on DOOM Eternal is without a doubt going to be one of the most visually impressive titles in 2020, as id Software is once again pushing the FPS genre forward.
And on the subject of Etenral's graphics we wrote.
Then there’s the presentation and underlying id Tech 7 engine, which on PC looks nothing short of stunning – the perfect blend of raw detail, lighting, visual effects, animation, destructible demons whose flesh falls apart the more you shoot, and rock solid performance.
Here's what you'll need to run it on PC.

What's great is that even at minimum DOOM Eternal is meant to be played at 60 frames-per-second. With a GTX 1080 and an RTX 2060 listed as the recommended - 2020 is certainly shaping up as a transitional year for games. In that it's probably time to consider that upgrade you've been holding off on for a while. Or, break open the champagne as you recently build a new gaming beast.
