How to Boost Frame Rate to 60FPS or More in Doom Eternal

The Doom Eternal PC gamers are suggesting that in order to get 60fps or above, all the players should try disabling the Steam overlay and other graphics overlay as well. Additionally, it’s always expected to check your Windows and graphics drivers whether it’s updated or not for maximum stability & performance. So, without further ado, let’s follow all the possible troubleshooting steps below.

1. Update Graphics Drivers:

If you’re using the Nvidia graphics card then update the GeForce Experience app on your PC from the Nvidia official site here.

But if you’re using the AMD graphics card on your system, then update the latest AMD Drivers from here.

2. Reinstall Graphics Drivers

Now, if in case, the above-mentioned method doesn’t work for you, then you can try to reinstall the graphics driver.

  • In the search box on the Start menu, type the Device Manager and click on it.
  • Now, right-click on the graphics card name and select Uninstall.
  • Restart your PC.
  • Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver. If not, just manually install the compatible graphics drivers for your respective graphics card/brand.
  • Finally, reboot your system again and check whether the issue is fixed or not.

3. Update Windows 10

Make sure to check whether any update is available for your Windows OS or not. If yes, you will get the update notification on the taskbar. Click on it and the Windows Update page will appear. However, you can manually check for updates by following the steps below:

  • Click on the Start menu.
  • Select Settings menu > Click on Update & Security.
  • Here you will see Updates available option. Just click on the Download button to start downloading and installing the update.
  • Make sure that the PC/Laptop is connected to the internet and there is enough charge on the Laptop.
  • Once done, you have to reboot your system to install the update and change the effects. During this process, don’t switch off your system.
  • You’re done. Windows will boot into a new system. Now, try to run the Doom Eternal game to check for the issue.

4. Disable Steam Overlay

  • Open Steam on your Windows.
  • Head over to the Settings > Click on the In-Game option.
  • Click on the checkbox to disable “Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game“.
  • Once the checkbox mark is removed, click on OK.

5. Disable Nvidia Overlay (GeForce Experience)

As mentioned above, all the overlay options offer plenty of useful features but these features always run in the background that consumes memory a lot and may occur lower FPS counts and some other issues like Dev Errors, crashes, stuck at the loading screen, etc. So, if you don’t use these features that much or want higher FPS counts, then you should disable the Nvidia GeForce Experience Overlay.

  • Make sure that the PC/Laptop is connected to the internet and there is enough charge on the Laptop.

6. Disable Discord Overlay

The Discord Overlay helps the hardcore gamers to use the Discord Voice & Text options to communicate with other players during the gameplay. It also lets you run certain features like Discord chat, answers Discord calls, join groups, customize the gaming interface, etc.

However, the Discord Overlay can become more distracting especially in battle royale games or first-person shooting games. It mostly can cause graphical glitches, texture not loading properly, lower frame rates, dev error codes, etc. So, you can disable Discord Overlay if you don’t use it that much.

7. Disable AMD Overlay

  • Just right-click on the desktop. [You can even directly press Alt + R buttons]
  • Select AMD Radeon Settings.
  • Click on the Preferences option.
  • Turn off the In-Game Overlay toggle.
  • That’s it. Now, simply reboot your PC and run the game to check for the issue.

8. Disable Game Bar on Windows

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Bar is a feature that helps professional or hardcore games to record game footage, broadcasts, and taking screenshots, and more. Just like other overlay programs, the Game Bar can also cause issues with the Doom Eternal game. So, let’s take a look at the steps below to disable it.
