Expect better performance in DOOM and improved Vulkan support.

Good performance in Doom Eternal. 1440p (variable resolution off) 80-100 fps, High preset (Medium Shadows), motion blur off on RX 480 8 GB.

HDR doesn't work yet, AMD has to update the drivers, and I had to enable Enhanced Sync in order not to get tearing.

Played it last night (Doom). It's good. Hard though. My reactions are not what they used to be and I died even on the easiest setting

I must say I like how easy it is to navigate now. I spent hours getting lost in the last one.

It does look better too, and the loading times seem to have been seriously reduced which is nice.

Does it come with a built-in benchmark? I still haven't played the Doom reboot yet FFS, and there it sits in my library, un-played like the last 8 games I bought.

Don't think there's a point to benchmarking the new DOOM games TBH as they all run superbly on any hardware ^_^

Oh I know, I just like to have benches I can run between systems. I have 3 rigs built, all water cooled, and two of them sit idle most of the time, so benchmarks are good to have to just run the rigs up to temp every now and then. I'm one of the few people I know with a practical use for benchmarks, LOL!
