GPU Driver Error - No Physical Devices

[SnowMexican]

I'm not sure what is causing this issue, if anyone has resolved it. I would very much so would like their help. I have updated my Nvidia drivers to the most recent version on a clean install.

Try verifying the game files, that might help.

Not sure what it could do, but worth a shot as nothing else has worked thus far.

That comes from using a laptop. "No Physical Devices" should really say "Incompatible Display Adapter". The game is trying to use your weaker GPU, it's likely why laptops aren't supported officially. Your weaker GPU doesn't support Vulkan, so it refuses to launch.

You have to open your device manager, expand your 'display adapters', and disable your integrated GPU, leaving only your high powered one active. This forces Doom to use the correct GPU.

Just remember to re-enable it if you want to benefit for the iGPU's power saving at a later date.

Oh, and don't use the Steam Overlay FPS meter at all as it will reduce your FPS significantly. If you need performance data, turn on 'performance metrics' in the setting ingame (I think that's what it's called).

Two are showing up there, AMD Radeon (TM) R7 Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, would the Integrated GPU be the AMD?

Got it working by disabling the AMD Radeon one thanks for the help

Do what Bilbo Laggins Suggested, go into device manger - Display Adapters - And then disable whichever one isn't your main drivers i.e AMD Radeon was my integrated drivers whereas my NIVIDIA was the main one.

Sorry for the necro, but for those who are still looking for a solution: you gotta go into device manager -> display adapters -> you turn off the one that's not your main one -> enter the game and quit -> turn the one that isn't the main one back on -> enter the game again. Voila

Допомогло у windows 10 деспетчер пристроїв - відеоадаптори - вимкнення одного з них - зайти в гру -не закривати вікно деспетчера пристроїв та після прогрузки гри її згорнути та увімкнути вимкнений відеоадаптер - в наступні рази вже не треба нічого відключати. P.S. Якщо з вимкненням одного з відеоадапторів не запускається спробуйте вимкнути замість нього інший. В мене ноутбук Acer Nitro 5
