•  After updating your drivers, be sure to restart your machine.
  
• Run the game at a resolution of 1920x1080
  
• Restart the game after any Advanced Settings changes.
  
• If you have a video card with 4GB or less VRAM, try adjusting the following features to increase performance:
  
  • Resizing the Window Size
    
  • Changing Resolution
    
  • Changing Texture Quality Settings
    
  • Changing Shadow Quality
• On AMD cards, select anti-aliasing modes 8xTSSAA or NO AA to make sure Asyncronous Compute is enabled.(+RTSS disable!)
  
• For some AMD cards shut off VSync! (May be obsolet now!)
  
• Enable Performance Metrics from the Advanced Settings to see FPS counters rather than using external FPS counters, as external counters may have an impact on performance
  
• Disable the Steam Overlay

• Use Administrator Rights for DOOMx64vk.exe & DOOMx64.exe!!
  
  
• Stop Steam Cloud Game Setting! *
  
  
• Disable the Steam Overlay!*
  
  
• For Player with NVIDIA, Low Latency Mode set to Ultra in the Driver!!
  If You use Low Latency Mode on Ultra, always use VSync and/or GSync!!
  
  
• Use Start Commands
  
  
• The most important values are the enforcement of Vulkan and the restriction on the number of threads used, which should never exceed the maximum number of physical cores, at least at the beginning and during a longer test phase!!
  
  
• Change the Start Commands so that they suits you:
  

  A) Vulkan + VSync Adaptive

  +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +logFile 1 +r_renderAPI 1 +r_swapInterval 2 +jobs_numthreads 3 +vt_maxPPF 16 +com_gameType 0

  
  B) Vulkan + VSync = Off

  +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +logFile 1 +r_renderAPI 1 +r_swapInterval 0 +jobs_numthreads 3 +vt_maxPPF 16 +com_gameType 0

  
  

  • +com_skipIntroVideo 1 = no intro - (?)*
    
    
  • +logFile 1 = a qconsole.log file is made for Information in
    C:\Users\...%Your UserName%...\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base
    
    
  • +r_renderAPI 1 = Vulkan (first choice)
    +r_renderAPI 0 = OpenGL 4.5 (4.6?)
    +r_renderAPI -2 = Vulkan & VSync Adaptive - (?)*
    
    
  • +r_swapInterval 2 = VSync Adaptive
    +r_swapInterval 0 = VSync Off
    +r_swapInterval 1 = VSync On
    
    
  • +jobs_numthreads X = Depending on the existing CPU
    +jobs_numthreads -1 = Default = Automatic (max Threads) -1
    (If the default value with the auto determination does not work or if You want more free Threads, register by hand yourself, for me = 3 threads)
    ---> Core_i5(4k/4T)=3, Core_i7(4k/8T)=3-6...
    

    I always recommend leaving 1-2 cores free so that unexpected background programs don't cause stuttering!!
    And I recommend only consider the physical cores!! Do not use more than 6!! At least first!!

    
    
  • +vt_maxPPF 16 = CPUs with 2 cores = 8 or 4/6 cores = 16..... ( 32, 64, 128)
    
    
  • +com_gameType 0 = Campaign and Arcade
    +com_gameType 1 = SnapMap
    +com_gameType 2 = Multiplayer
    
    
    
    
    *I'm not sure if it work, but it should !! Maybe Blocked!!

• Use Frame Limit, that CPU Load is Low, with 65FPS for 60Hz or 125 for 120Hz Monitor´s over NVIDIA Profilinspector/Driver or AMD Driver!
  
  

  With VSync Adaptive enabled, the frames are not limited / capped in my opinion, the ~ 200 frames are still calculated, but only 60/120 are cut out!

  
  
  • A - For 100% no Tearing use VSync Adaptive "+r_swapInterval 2" and FrameLimit 65/125 FPS
    
    
  • or
    
    
  • B - You use only FrameLimit and VSync Off "+r_swapInterval 0"
    FrameLimit 61/121 FPS for 60/120 Hz Monitors for Gaming without high CPULoad and normaly without Tearing!!!
    It doesn't work for me with this game, although otherwise it always works!?   
    
    -----> Use for multiplayer only when tearing doesn't matter!
  
  
  
  
  

• Right click on the game in your library
  
• Select the Properties item
  
• In the General tab, uncheck the box next to Activating the Steam Community in the game
  
• In the General tab, uncheck the box next to Steam Cloud Game Setting

• For Player with NVIDIA, Low Latency Mode set to Ultra in the Driver!!
  If You use Low Latency Mode on Ultra, always use VSync and/or GSync!!
  
  
• Use Frame Limit, that CPU Load is Low over NVIDIA Profilinspector/Driver or AMD Driver!
  
  
  e.g. NVIDIA Profilinspector:
  • Limit: 65FPS for 60Hz or 125 for 120Hz Monitor´s
    
  • Mode: Limiter V2 - Force Off [Enables Limiter V1 (Less Input Lag)]
  
  
• Select Anti-Aliasing modes 8xTSSAA or NO AA to have the hope Asyncronous Compute is enabled.(+RTSS disable!)

• This is for 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 with 60 Hz !!
  
  All other refresh rates seem somehow blocked or 60 Hz is required for the menu and the cut-off scenes.
  Since I only use a 60Hz monitor, I recommend using 60 Hz at least at the beginning for all players in order to carry out further tests with 120/144 .... Hz from a functioning basis.
  
  
  
• If you want to use 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 with 120 Hz, you need to set the following:
  Background application Max. Frame rate / 125 and
  Maximum frame rate / 125 in the Nvidia driver setup
  and "r_displayRefresh 120" in the commandline!
  -------> BUT 120 Hz is not tested !! But it can also work !!

• copy my values into and over the existing file
  
  
• change setting for Your Hardware // 1+2..+3+4
  
  
• With a 60Hz Monitor use r_displayRefresh "60"
  with a 120Hz Monitor use r_displayRefresh "120"
  
  with Adaptive VSync = on you get 60FPS / 120FPS
  
  TEARFREE and FREEZFREE      Gaming!!
  
  
• than you must set read only, so doom can not overwrite!!
  
  
• With the logFile parameter set, Doom will generate a qconsole.log File after each run.
  There you can control you're setting!!!
