Doom: The Dark Ages at a glance
Doom: The Dark Ages is a shooter game from 2025. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVIDIA or AMD hardware Raytracing-capable GPU with 10GB dedicated VRAM or better (examples: NVIDIA RTX 3080 or better, AMD RX 6800 or better). It asks for 32 GB of RAM (minimum 16 GB).
Our estimate: you need about an RX 9070 GRE for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while an R9 Fury X can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Core i5-7600K or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 2 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
