What are the max settings that I can get 60 FPS on ?

Hello
I have a GTX 950 and a Core i5 4460 paired with 12 GBs of RAM
In that recent steam winter sale I snagged DOOM for 20 bucks So now on what settings can I get 60 FPS (Please note that don't even have a FHD monitor ) I really don't mind playing on medium settings (I just don't want my FPS to get lower than 40 FPS)

It's easier for you to try it yourself. Just play with the settings until you end up on something you like.

Really expected that but I just didn't want to be anticipating something really big then get disappointed from it

Download a FPS overlay such as NZXT CAM Software and run the game. From there just try different settings until you get the desired FPS.

Doesn't "FRAPS" do the Job ?? and what amount of FPS difference should I expect by playing in Vulkan or OpenGL?

 

[WildCard999]

FRAPS would work fine as well. I'm not sure about the FPS difference between the two.

With a 950 I'd say medium is the recommended settings for most games but really it depends on the game, I have a 1080 and I can't even get 60fps on watch dogs 2

Put everything on medium/high-settings (not nightmare or ultra, but combo of high textures and medium effects, antialiasing x2 max) and play with resolution scale. If everything works, leave it right there, if you want more performance, drop res scaling from 100% to 95% or 90% and so on.

drop res scaling from 100% to 95% or 90% and so on.

Sorry but what does that Res scaling do ?

Resolution scaling explained: (new games nowadays usually have this option in the settings menu)

For example you have a FullHD monitor - 1080x1920 pixels.

If resolution scaling is 100%, your graphics card will render graphics at exactly 1080x1920 pixels

If you set resolution scaling at 90%, your graphics card will render images at 1080 * 0.9 x 1920 * 0.9 pixels which is 972x1728 pixels.

If resolution scaling is lower than 100%, your GPU renders smaller images and upscales them up to your resolution. You may not see a huge difference if you lower it by 5 or 10%, but if you set resolution scaling at, for example, 70%, you will see huge boost in performance, but a step back in graphics quality since your GPU will render 756x1344 pixels instead of native 1080x1920 pixels.

Pros: your GPU will have less work, use less resources and achieve higher framerates
Cons: Lowering res scaling by a large amount will greatly decrease image quality

Personally, i have GTX 760 + i5-4690K and i completed Doom: 2016 using high textures and particles, medium effects, other settings med/high and 75% resolution scale at 1080p, which left me with 60fps almost everytime, except huge fights in big open spaces it dropped to 30. If i dropped Res scaling to 60%, butter-smooth 60fps all-the-time, but i didnt't like the graphics. I Found 75% is my sweet spot at 1080p. Since GTX 950 and GTX 760 have similar performance, you could try using similar settings to mine. But firstly check how it goes on your native resolution and 100% res scaling since you said its lower than 1080p

Thank you. Really appreciate that you explained me this
