    I ran Doom on Ultra High Settings and the display resolution of 1920x1080 on my Thinkpad P50.

    is it worth it?

    Probably not on nostalgia alone. It does have some but it really delivered everywhere else too.

    hmmm...the vulkan api made the game feel more stuttery for me even though it said 75fps in the stats.

    In the settings, is it better to use OpenGL or Vulkan?

    From what I've read and the few reviews around, including my own testing, generally speaking, OpenGL is the preferred option for Maxwell users. As of right now, it would appear that Vulkan has only been substantially beneficial for AMD users in terms of higher performance, with mild benefits for Pascal users.

    What I gathered so far is that frame rates fluctuate on Vulcan more compared to OpenGL.
    Or at least it does for a people I asked about, all of them had nVidia GPUs.

    Right, GeForce Experience's settings automatically chose OpenGL for me as well
