Can I Run DOOM Eternal?
id Software released DOOM Eternal in 2020. It is an action game, published by Bethesda Softworks. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. With more than 189 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. Cloud saves are enabled. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Its Metacritic score stands at 88. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Completionists have 50 achievements to work through.

Why DOOM Eternal is demanding
The graphics requirement for DOOM Eternal is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is enough, so DOOM Eternal runs on machines never bought for gaming. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so DOOM Eternal at the floor and DOOM Eternal at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 80 GB. DOOM Eternal needs 64 bit Windows. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 6 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run DOOM Eternal?
Older hardware holds up here: DOOM Eternal runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti (4GB), GTX 1060 (3GB), GTX 1650 (4GB) or AMD Radeon R9 280(3GB), AMD Radeon R9 290 (4GB), RX 470 (4GB) enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. DOOM Eternal needs about 80 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against DOOM Eternal's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
