After that follow these steps to increase FPS in Doom Eternal

1.Go to the doom eternals settings and click on the video page.

• Window Mode: Set this to Fullscreen for the best possible performance.
• Resolution: Set this to Fullscreen for the best possible performance.
• Vertical Sync: Set this to Off.
• Enable HDR: Set this to Off.
• Field of View: Set this to 103. We recommend you try this if you haven’t already.
• Motion Blur: Set this to Off.
• Overall Quality: Set this to Custom.
• Texture Pool Size: Set this to Medium. If your graphics card has a lot of VRAM, you can set this to a higher value. You can’t really see much of a diversity between the different settings anyway, so Medium should suffice for most use-cases.
• Shadow Quality: Set this to Low or Medium, depending on your preference. The shadows are the most performance-heavy aspect of the game. And just like Texture Pool Size, if your graphics card has a lot of VRAM, you can set this to a higher value.
• Reflections Quality: Set this to Off.
• Motion Blur Quality: Set this to Low.
• Directional Occlusion: Set this to Medium or High. This setting does not cost too much FPS and it gives better depth-of-field in the game, so it’s worth turning it up.
• Lights Quality: Set this to Low. The visual difference between the different settings values is negligible.
• Particles Quality: Set this to Low.
• Decal Quality: Set this to Low. The visual difference between the different settings values is negligible.
• Water Quality: Set this to Low. There’s not much water in the game anyway.
• Volumetrics Quality: Set this to Low. The visual difference between the different settings values is negligible.
• Texture Filtering Quality: Set this to Medium or High. There is a small but noticeable difference and it is a good one, so you can adjust this setting to an even higher value if you wish.
• Geometric Quality: Set this to Low.
• Chromatic Aberration: Set this to Off.
• Depth of Field: Set this to Off. Depth of field is a very nice thing to see in DOOM Eternal, so we definitely recommend that you keep this turned on. It’ll only cost you about 3-4% in FPS loss.
• Depth of Field Anti-aliasing: Set this to On. This option does not cause any further FPS drop when the option above is turned on as well, so you’ll still be losing 3-4% FPS for some very nice visual settings.
