| A GAME |
Released in 2020, DOOM Eternal is the sequel to DOOM 2016 and was developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was received with great enthusiasm by critics and players alike, thanks to its addictive combat system, challenging level design, and beautiful visual style.
Development of DOOM Eternal began immediately after the release of DOOM (2016). The id Software development team, led by director Martin Stratton and creative director Hugo Martin, were confident in their decision to make a sequel to continue the story and make significant improvements to game mechanics and graphics.
The most important decision during the development process was the adoption of a new game engine, id Tech 7, which offered significant improvements over the previous id Tech 6 used in DOOM (2016). The new engine allowed the team to create a more detailed and impressive game world, with more complex character models, higher quality textures, and an improved lighting system.
Id Tech 7 is the latest version of the in-house game engine from id Software. This engine has been completely rewritten to provide improved texture quality (according to the developers, a 1000% increase in detail compared to id Tech 6) and a higher number of visual effects.
More accurate and detailed models, an improved animation system and sophisticated visual effects are all provided by id Tech 7. This also allowed the developers to make significant improvements to the level design and overall atmosphere of the game. As a result, DOOM Eternal offers stunning landscapes and detailed environments that look amazing on any platform.
One of the biggest additions to id Tech 7 is support for ray tracing, a rendering technology that provides realistic light simulation. This technology was added after the original release of the game and has greatly improved the visual quality of DOOM Eternal.
Ray tracing brings more realism to the game by adding impressive reflections, realistic shadows and lights, providing a captivating atmosphere. Reflections now accurately reproduce the environment, and shadows look more natural and realistic. All light sources in the game affect the environment, resulting in more natural and detailed lighting.
DOOM Eternal has also implemented DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) support from NVIDIA. This technology, which uses artificial intelligence to increase image resolution, allows the game to run faster and with higher image quality, even with ray tracing enabled. DLSS is especially useful for players with RTX graphics cards, who can use this technology to increase performance and graphics quality.
DOOM Eternal and its id Tech 7 game engine represent a significant step forward in game graphics and performance. The use of advanced technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS allows players to enjoy more realistic and impressive graphics, as well as a smoother and more responsive game experience. With each new update and expansion, DOOM Eternal continues to set new standards for the industry, demonstrating what is possible when technology and creativity work together.
| SETTINGS |
The game has a sufficient range of graphic settings. Both basic and advanced settings are available to us.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.

Id Tech 7 is a powerful development environment that allows you to create unique game worlds with incredible detail and complexity. Unlike the previous id Tech 6 engine, id Tech 7 offers improved texture handling, improved character modeling, and sophisticated physics effects. The engine is capable of recreating complex game scenes, providing improved performance and optimization.
However, one of the most significant benefits of id Tech 7 is its support for advanced ray tracing technology, or Ray Tracing.
Ray tracing is a rendering technique that models the behavior of light in 3D space by taking into account factors such as reflection, refraction, dispersion, and absorption. This is a very computationally intensive process, but thanks to revolutionary breakthroughs in the field of GPUs and hardware, it has become available in real time in computer games.
The implementation of ray tracing in DOOM Eternal was done after the fact and offers amazing improvements in graphics quality. The results are especially noticeable in reflections and shadows. Reflections now accurately reproduce the environment, adding depth and realism to scenes. Shadows are now softer and more natural, creating a compelling in-game atmosphere.
Ray tracing in DOOM Eternal is also used to improve lighting. Now all light sources in the game affect the environment, resulting in more natural and realistic lighting. This is especially noticeable in dark places and when changing daylight, where lighting reproduction using ray tracing makes scenes more dynamic and realistic.
However, ray tracing requires a lot of processing power, and not all gaming systems can support it without performance degradation. It is important to consider this aspect when enabling this feature, especially on weaker systems.
Regardless, for those with access to powerful hardware, ray tracing in DOOM Eternal offers a deeper and more immersive gaming experience.
| DLSS/FSR |
DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is a rendering technology developed by NVIDIA to improve the performance and image quality of games. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for image processing, allowing players to enjoy higher quality graphics without significant performance degradation.
In DOOM Eternal, DLSS offers an optimized and improved gaming experience, especially when used in conjunction with ray tracing. Using DLSS allows you to improve the frame rate, which is especially important when using resource-intensive ray tracing technology.
DLSS technology works by pre-training the neural network on thousands of high-resolution images, after which the network is able to recreate image details in real time, starting from the low-resolution image. This includes removing the blur and "ripples" that can occur with normal resolution upscaling.
