How does Doom take advantage of 4k?

• simias 10y ago
  High resolution textures and detailed models coupled with good optimization that makes it run like a charm maxed out at 4k. I don't have very good screenshots available at the moment unfortunately but this should give you an idea of what's possible: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/100598881680786746/23C0353DF7CB1D6429DD0E14B9CEB73930F9848A/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/10059888168078... http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/100598881680077063/3DB5F81297251F0C848BDF3786A5788C11A5CCFA/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/10059888168007... Here's Dark Souls III which looks pretty great at 4K but unfortunately doesn't manage to run at a solid 60FPS on my GTX 1080: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/84843325410407869/0B2DC734AFE6076A973BF3B37329654B59E92A60/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/84843325410407... And here's an older game, The Witcher: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/84843969116367618/C5DBDC6BEF24EE1F6735AC16C2A7D40B60DE0093/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/84843969116367... Those hold up pretty well at 4K. In contrast I present to you Wolfenstein: The New Order which often looks very mediocre and yet manages to run worse than DOOM: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/100598881681325455/A500272E450E27287B08AEC48DDB5CE388E95446/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/10059888168132... Note the low polygon count on some of the models and the very low resolution of certain textures.
