Here’s Doom Eternal running at 1,000fps with an Intel Core i7 9700K

Doom Eternal

If for some strange reason you’ve ever fancied hitting four-digit frame rates in Doom Eternal, it turns out all you might need is an Intel Core i7 9700K, Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti, liquid metal, tonnes of overclocking experience, and some liquid nitrogen – easy, right? Well, perhaps not easy or straightforward, but nothing a seasoned extreme overclocker can’t handle.

Bethesda’s Polish community manager Lukasz Lesniewski says that shortly after Doom Eternal launched, he “contacted the head of events at Polish hardware retailer x-kom for a special QuakeCon at Home project. The goal was straightforward but daunting: achieve and record Doom Eternal running at 1,000 frames per second”.

It looks like the key to this overclock being possible was the improvements that were made to the ‘job system’ in id Tech 7, allowing the game to use all available CPU cores more efficiently. This means that all-core overclocks should provide a significant boost to frame rates, as x-kom successfully demonstrates with this impressive 1,000fps overclock.

The eight-core Intel Core i7 9700K received a boost of 3GHz on all cores, but everything wasn’t on the CPU’s shoulders, of course. The model of Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti that the overclockers used was the Asus RTX 2080 Ti Strix, which comes with a 1,350MHz base clock and 1,650MHz boost clock at stock settings. The RTX 2080 Ti is currently the fastest graphics card on the market, and these overclockers managed to get it running at a whopping 2.4GHz.

Here are the full post-overclock system specs (taken from the description of the YouTube video above):

  • CPU: Intel Core i7 9700K @ 6.6GHz
  • Motherboard: Asus Maximus XI APEX
  • GPU: Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix @ 2.4GHz
  • RAM: HyperX Predator 4,000MHz CL19 2x8GB
  • Drive: Samsung 512GB M.2 NVMe Evo Plus
  • Power: Be Quiet 1200W Straight Power

Quite the system, don’t you think? But anyone can change a CPU multiplier to generate a ridiculously high clock speed – the trick is keeping things cool and stable enough to actually run at those clock speeds. This is done with the help of liquid metal and liquid nitrogen.

In the video, you can see the overclockers taking apart the RTX 2080 Ti and spreading some viscous stuff all over it. This is most likely a coating to protect PCB circuitry so that Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, a non-conductive thermal paste that works at sub-zero temperatures, can be added to the GPU die for better thermal conductivity, and liquid nitrogen can then be added into the mix without any risk.

The final trick is to pour liquid nitrogen on the CPU. Heatsinks and AIO coolers be damned, liquid nitrogen is perfect for keeping CPUs with unholy overclocks running cool with the nitrogen sitting at about -195°C – needless to say, you have to be extremely careful when handling liquid nitrogen.

Once all is said and done, the super-cooled and super-clocked system manages to pass the 1,000fps threshold set out as the goal for the Doom Eternal overclock. It’s not something the average 9700K- and 2080 Ti-boasting PC gamer will be able to accomplish, but that it’s even possible with a seasoned overclocking hand is seriously impressive. Now, where’s my liquid nitrogen at?

It has been a year since the iPhone 13 showed that Apple was in a refinement path for the iPhone line with improved video across the board and the introduction of ProRes recording in 10 bits for some modes. The Slow motion capabilities had been capped at 1080p frame rates since the iPhones of old. The iPhone 14 has the same max 4k frame rate of 60p as the iPhone 13 but the sensor, image processor, and lenses have all been refined and improved. 

Are high frame rates relegated to stay at 1080p forever on the Apple line? It has been 7 years of releases of capped 1080p at 120fps and 240fps with no other frame sizes getting a better spec. Most phones are also restricted but Sony, Huawei, and others have been delivering 120fps in 4k video modes for a couple of years now. The iPhone 14 seems to continue the trend of refinement without blowout frame rates at higher resolutions.  → Continue Reading Full Post ←

The two existing Chronos cameras, the 1. 4c 720p at 1502fps & the Chronos 2.1 -HD 1t 1080p 1000fps are identical when seen from the outside but very different inside as they contain different sensor and memory boards. However one constant is that both use the C mount as the default for lens adapters. The camera usually comes with a Canon EF or Nikon F mount adapter depending on the buyer preference which screws on the C mount thread and allows for support of classic lenses from Macro to telephoto. 

One request from the community has been the support for other lens mounts like Micro 4/3ds which lets you adapt a variety of lens mounts and the much coveted speedbooster adapters which allow a 1 f-stop improvement in light gathering for micro 4/3ds systems. Today Krontech, the company behind the Chronos high-speed camera is introducing a passive Micro 4/3rds adapter for both the Chronos 1.4c and 2.1-HD and uses the body screw terminals near the lens thread mount to place a solid connection that allows such lenses. → Continue Reading Full Post ←

It seems the leaks have come down heavily on the to be formally announced Hero 10 Black from GoPro. The latest by Winfuture.de & @rquandt. The most important part of the leak speaks about the use of the new GP2 chipset which is at least 2x faster than the already long in the tooth GP1 which was a great processing unit when released a few iterations back but now has a bit of catch up to do.

The leak also talks about new Hypersmooth 4.0 which seems to use also the oversampled sensor to deliver gimbal-like motion stabilization performance for the camera without the use of a physical stabilizing unit. We really like Hypersmooth 2 and 3 and if the GP2 is such a better processing core, it should in theory yield even better smoothness on most footage resolutions.  Frame rates have also taken a big leap here, and we speculate on what it could mean for slow motion enthusiasts. → Continue Reading Full Post ←

Three famous high-speed cameras are absolutely fantastic!

Roman Fishman

We live «here» and «now». The space familiar to a person lies on a scale from kilometers to millimeters, time — from years to seconds. Our imagination is bad at accommodating really big things, we are almost unable to note events shorter than tenths of a second. And that’s where the most interesting things often happen. Technology allows you to look beyond these limits, and ultra-fast video cameras capture the fastest things. Chameleon tongue throw, bullet flight, nuclear explosion, light wave movement. Thousandths, millionths of a second… and almost trillionths.

High-speed filming has developed almost as rapidly as photography and film. And if in the middle of the 19th century a still exposure of a quarter of an hour or more was required to get one frame, then already in 1878 Edward Muybridge was able to prove with pictures in his hands that when running a horse does not always touch the ground with at least one foot. The Scottish photographer used an ingenious system of 12 cameras whose shutters were triggered by a tug of threads tied across a treadmill.

As early as the 1930s, Eastman Kodak was offering a mass-produced camera capable of shooting up to 1,000 frames per second on a 16mm tape. Engineers at Bell Telephone Laboratories have developed their own system for studying the physics of relay contact bounce, reaching the 5,000 frame mark. Their system was improved at Wollensak — 10,000 shots. However, photography gained real speed thanks to the inventor Cirsi Miller, who in 1940 patented a device with a rotating mirror that promised a speed of a million frames per second.

His patent was the basis for the camera used by Manhattan Project member Berlin Brixner to film the first ever nuclear explosion. The Trinity tests were recorded from a 10-kilometer distance, pointing at the epicenter at once fifty complex film cameras. Among them was another notable camera built by an MIT professor with the apt nickname «Papa Flash». Harold Egerton is considered the father of high-speed photography, and his Rapatronic camera is the first example of modern devices.

Rapatronic | 1940s

Edgerton had been in high-speed photography for more than a decade when he was asked to develop a camera to capture the incredibly fast (and incredibly secret) event of a nuclear explosion. For tests, usually four to twelve of these devices were used, each of which could take only one frame with a shutter speed of 10 nanoseconds. Not a single drive mechanism is capable of working at such a speed, so the camera had to be reloaded after each shot. The mechanical shutter that controls the aperture would not have coped either. But it was here that Edgerton’s main secret was hidden.

The light entering the Rapatronic lens was blocked by a pair of polarizing filters rotated perpendicular to each other relative to the optical axis: one “cut off” waves with vertical polarization, the other with horizontal polarization. However, the gap between them was filled with a transparent liquid of nitrobenzene, capable of rotating the plane of polarization if an external electromagnetic field was applied to it. The field was created by an electromagnetic coil powered by a powerful capacitor. When such a shutter was actuated, the vertically polarized radiation transmitted by the first filter was slightly «twisted», and the second filter, blocking all vertical waves, freely passed it onto the sensitive film.

Beckman & Whitley 192 | 1981

Another «relic» of the Cold War — the 726-pound Beckman & Whitley 192 camera — was also created for filming nuclear explosions and sends us back to the first tests in Nevada. The rotating mirrors of Cirsi Miller here turned into a rotation of the recording equipment around a three-way mirror in the center of a powerful structure. A jet of compressed gas set it in motion, accelerating it to 6,000 revolutions per second, and fixed mirrors alternately reflected light onto each of the 82 cameras fixed along the edge. Each frame received a shutter speed less than a millionth of a second. And although it cannot be compared with Rapatronic, 19The 2nd one allowed you to shoot longer events, and did not turn off after the first shot. The camera FP-22, developed in the 1950s in the USSR, operated in a similar way. Only in it a system of mirrors rotated, so that the beam quickly ran a circle along a long strip of special photographic film, making up to 100,000 frames per second. Well, the legendary Beckman & Whitley 192 itself, already decommissioned, in the 2000s went to the “thunderstorm hunter”, engineer Tim Samaras, almost for nothing. He redesigned it in a modern way, replacing film cameras with 82 10-megapixel CCD matrices. Traveling with a camera in a trailer, Samaras took many spectacular shots of lightning and tornadoes until he died in a hurricane that swept over Oklahoma in late May 2013.

«Pico camera» | 2011

The speed of this system makes it possible to record even a short light pulse as it propagates from the bottom of the bottle, is reflected by the cap and returns back. “In the entire universe, there is nothing too fast for this camera,” boasted the developers of the device. This, of course, is somewhat of an exaggeration. Strictly speaking, even the “trillion frames per second”, as news publications hastened to write about it, their system does not: the effective exposure time here is as much as 1.71 picoseconds. But the developers’ pride is understandable. Equipment developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is able to track the expansion of a spherical wave of light emitted by a pulsed laser. Like many special laboratory instruments for measuring fast processes, the system is based on an electron-optical camera. The device resembles night vision devices: a light flash entering the camera through a slit knocks out electrons from the photocathode. They are accelerated and focused in an electromagnetic field. Finally, the beam is deflected as it moves across the phosphor screen: each moment of time corresponds to a certain section of the screen. Such cameras (and even picosecond ones) have been produced for a long time, including in Russia. However, they usually do not allow you to consider any details. Therefore, MIT engineers supplemented the device with a rotary mirror that directs the camera slit, «scanning» the entire scene, and the most complex mathematical algorithms that assemble everything into a sequential frame change.

Smartphones allow you to shoot video at a speed of about 1000 frames per second. Professional cameras capture motion at up to 10,000 frames per second. But all this pales in comparison to the 70 trillion frames per second that scientists at Caltech have learned to shoot. Now it will be possible to look even at the movement of a light wave.

pstocks/Depositphotos

A team of researchers from Caltech published an article (available here) in the journal Nature Communications in which they talked about improved technology for high-speed photography. This is not the first breakthrough of scientists from the California Institute of Technology in this area. The research is led by Lihong Wang, a specialist from the institute.

In 2014, under his leadership, the original high-speed shooting technology CUP (compressed super high-speed photography) was introduced at a speed of 100 billion frames / s. By 2018, the technology was improved and called T-CUP, and the shooting speed reached 10 trillion frames / s. The new CUSP (Compressed Ultra-Fast Spectral Photography) technology has increased the shooting speed by another seven times — up to 70 trillion frames / s.

CUSP is based on a pulsed laser emitting ultrashort light pulses with a duration of one femtosecond (10 −15 s).
