Here are the best settings for Doom: The Dark Ages for RTX 5090, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, and more.
Doom: The Dark Ages is the prequel to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal. This time, the slayer (the doom guy) is journeying, exploring the ancient past as the legendary warrior before becoming the Slayer we know. Dark Ages uses ray tracing as a core component of the game’s rendering pipeline, which cannot be disabled. Global Illumination, reflections, and planned path tracing in the future.
Before diving into specific configurations, it’s worth noting that the game shows minimal visual differences between most of its quality presets. Even comparing Ultra Nightmare to Low settings reveals surprisingly subtle changes. This is due to the enhancements in accuracy brought in via RT. That said, gamers with a High-end Gaming PC will find the settings below helpful.
Note: Id’s games are, as usual, butterfly optimized. But this time, RT is heavily used from the ground up. So you must pair a heavily tuned Core i7 13700K or a Ryzen 7800X3D with these GPUs to avoid bottlenecks. Your results may vary based on system configuration, cooling, and background load.
