Developed by id Software, DOOM Eternal is the direct sequel to the award-winning and best-selling DOOM (2016). Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power as you rip-and-tear your way across dimensions with the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat. Powered by idTech 7 and set to an all-new pulse-pounding soundtrack composed by Mick Gordon, DOOM Eternal puts you in control of the unstoppable DOOM Slayer as you blow apart new and classic demons with powerful weapons in unbelievable and never-before-seen worlds.

When Bethesda released the 2016 reboot of DOOM it was a huge success, so it really is no surprise that they will be following it up with a sequel. Bethesda will be calling this game DOOM Eternal and they have released a short teaser which you can see below.

This time we have another test with two cards that are directly competing with each other. AMD's RX 480 currently is at a very sweet spot at $199. NVIDIA is competing with the GeForce GTX 1060, which is $249. Now the GTX 1060 beats the RX 480 in most tests and overall is the higher performing card. That is until the Vulkan API is introduced.

Bethesda recently released an update for DOOM which allows gamers to finally take advantage of the Vulkan API. The guys over at ComputerBase.de ran some tests to see how the Vulkan API compared to the default OpenGL and it reveals that Vulkan benefits AMD GPUs far better than NVIDIA ones.

AMD's last two Radeon drivers have included optimizations for DOOM. Last weeks drivers did not really give us any specific numbers, but this weeks drivers (Radeon 16.5.2.1) according to AMD will give you a performance boost up to 35% on a R9 390 over the previous drivers. That is definitely a nice increase!

NVIDIA announced both their GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 graphics cards on Friday. As part of the event they brought game developer id Software to the stage to show off the upcoming title DOOM. So how did the GTX 1080 handle the game? It hit 200 FPS on Ultra settings! Check out the video below!

If you are like me you grew up playing DOOM. For teenagers these days they do not even know what it is half the time. It is pretty funny seeing their reactions playing the original DOOM. Keep in mind the game is half a decade older than they are! Check out the video below!

DOOM co-creator John Romero is apparently going to announce a new PC shooter soon. Romero posted a video on his YouTube channel titled "The Return". The video is a recreation of the last scene of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and has Id Software co-founder Adrian Carmack walking up to John Romero holding a keyboard and mouse towards him. The video ends with an announcement date of April 25th and a link to Romero's new studio Night Work Games. Check out the video below.

For those who are looking forward to DOOM and were unable to get into closed multiplayer beta you will be able to get into the action next weekend! Bethesda will be holding an open beta for the game! It will run from April 15 - 17, there is no code necessary, just simply download the beta and start playing!

The closed beta for DOOM will be coming very soon for people who purchased Wolfenstein: The New Order. With that Bethesda has been releasing more and more information about the game. Today they shared a brand new trailer that showcases demons, power-ups, and more!
