Graphics Evolution: From DOOM 1 to DOOM Eternal - this is how the graphics have developed in 27 years

27 years of DOOM! How did the graphics of the popular FPS series develop from DOOM 1 (1993) to DOOM Eternal (2020)? For our graphics comparison channel PixelPerfect, we have ventured a journey through time and hell itself to compare all the important entries in the DOOM series.

Demon Slayer, this clip is for you! Join us on a journey through the history of DOOM. In this PixelPerfect video, we compare the graphic quality of the most important DOOM episodes published to date by id Software and Bethesda. In each case we have chosen the best possible graphic settings for the scenes and recorded them with 4K resolution.

Don't be irritated by the pixel massacre in DOOM 1 and DOOM 2 - despite the rough graphics, both titles are still fun to watch and arouse nostalgic feelings among PC gamers. It's nice to see that all tested DOOMs are playable with an extremely smooth refresh rate (at least with a 2080Ti) despite the high 4K graphics. We compare these offshoots of the series in a graphic comparison on PixelPerfect:

• DOOM 1 (1993)
• DOOM 2 - Hell on Earth (1994)
• DOOM 64 (1997)
• DOOM 3 (2004, BFG Edition)
• DOOM (2016)
• DOOM Eternal (2020)
