Doom: The Dark Ages doesn’t run badly on PC, but enforced ray tracing slows the pace

I’m liked the punishment: Dark age than a local reviewer Nick, possibly because most of the 2024 part of my brain reclosing to learn the color color has been greatly inclined to appreciate a good perry and repost. C’est La Vie Devils, and Partners. There is a problem that bothers me, though: Of all the sports on Bethesda’s production lines, is it the next game that follows Indiana Jones and follows the great circle in making the Ray tracing effects?

It looks good enough, and its performance on the PC can be very bad, considering. But this is the punishment, which, between the 2016 reboot and the eternal, became the ambassador of the faster, low -speaking shooter. Living proof that FPS Games, even relatively VATE weight, straight Feel It is better when you are zipped in more than 100 frames per second. No, I’m sorry. They just do. Dark age is at least easy in OLGPU than Indi, and I have had a crack in a settings guide (down) that should mostly promote veins, but Ray Tracing is still a strict need, which means it will not launch on too much old hardware.

Dom: Dark Edge System requirements and PC performance

These tech changes have also developed the system of system that make the punishment the eternal shape like a shopping list. CPUs, RAM, and storage requirements are increasingly increasing throughout the board, and yes, you will need hardware -based RT capacity graphics cards. I tried to fire dark ages on the GTX 1080 TI and immediately conveyed an unforgivable error.

We were also sent to the first version of the desired GPU drivers, namely NVIDIA’s GIFORS Game Reddy 576.31 Driver – 576.40 – and AMD’s radian software was updated at 25.10.09.01. It should be out of the time when the dark period continues on May 15 (576.40 out on the 12th), so consider these important. Especially where the Jeffers RTX 50 Series Graphics Card is concerned: I tested RTX 5080 on the current 576.28 driver at that time and saw some dirty samples, which completely disappeared with version 576.31.

Out of it, and seeing the FSR frame generation, seemingly once the accident, the dark period has been made very stable. In addition, once again, compared to the great circle, despite its new and unmanaged identification tech 8 engines: I have not had any crash or blackscreen problems in this game, nor is it faster that it is forced to be a dynamic resolution when using some lower -level GPUs.

I still feel it unusual, LittleIt is not as if it is not as if the dark period puts a medieval shot on your head and forcing you to buy 5090. In the opening mission, I have so far challenged the most technically, with the Shaista RTX 4060 enough for an average of 60 FPS in a local 1080p, which was busy in the ultra -dreamed dream. This ray is the maximum quality with tracing trimming, not less. My RTX 4050 laptop, which actually scrats by packing only 8GB of RAM under the minimum stay, can also do 71 FPS on medium-sized standards-though it was in quality mode, with the help of promoting DLSS. In cheap n ‘cheerful moods, Intel’s Arc B580 scored 56Fps at the home of the ultra -scary dream, and it was without a sophisticated driver without an initial driver.

Higher resolutions suffer from their numbers, though they are naturally suitable for advanced. Similarly, the Old RTX 3070 can still hang on 1440p, which can be produced 67FPs on ultra -drastic dream with standard DLSS, while more VRAM -rich Radeon RX 7700 Xt management is 74FPS (with standard FSR at DLSS space). Further upgrades will also receive triple data, as the RTX 4070 TI demonstrated: using Settings like RTX 3070, its average (and reasonably permanently permanent) is 110fps.

4070 TI is also sufficient for 4K. In this raz, the ultra -scary dream and quality DLSS obtained 66 FPS, which climbed up to 104fps using another RTX truck: DLSS 4 frame general. Naturally, it becomes a multi -frame generation with an RTX 50 card, which allows RTX 5080 to go to 218FPs with 4x MFG from 85FPS on the Altra Dream – and in both cases advanced to quality mode.

Generally, I jump for joy that a big money game was released in 2025, which must be left with ray tracing, such results can be found. Particularly on the back of the shadow of Remsted and Hassan’s profession, none of them are nearing forgiveness. Nevertheless, there is still some disappointing about the general performance of the dark period, which is a result of the ID’s success in collecting fast -paced sports.

In comparison to the Dom Eternal, see, the dark period frames actually represent large -scale slowdown. Along with your CPU as well as your GPU, the limit may be different, but re -installing eternal, on my RTX 4060, has revealed that it can run regularly. Double The new game’s 60fps average native 1080p. And this ray trace is with the active – turn it off, something you can’t do in the dark, and it’s close to the square.

I know that I am not thinking about such a large number of large numbers in large numbers five years ago, and if you are playing on 60 Hars Monitor, this difference may not be the difference, however, the ultra -raped frames. Is, the decline is really worth it? I have been in several hours and have not yet been reported to have any particular RT effects, as I have been through detailed detailed reflection of cyberpanic 2077 moody lighting or control. With the reconstruction of DLSS -ray, the future refreshing is coming to detect a full -fat fat path, so more notable visual upgrades can still be viable, but then it will reduce the performance.

Freemrators and GTX cards are also not the only obvious victim of the need for ray tracing. Steam Deck Support Looks like, best, will require some time: Whether it’s the Dark Edge’s own tech or any other driver’s problem, it currently fails to launch on the deck without any accident. The brain, here is the lowest smidgen of hope. The Dom Ernell itself has shown that the Ray tracing can work on the handheld of the valve, and – this boy – then – Indiana Jones and the Great Circle recently recently. Steam deck obtained certified statusBarely keep yourself together at the time of launch. Who knows, with some patch and potential proton refreshments of compatibility?

Dom: Dark Edge Best Settings Guide

Leaving the quality toggle should be a viable way to regain a sense of eternal speed, except that probably because many pasts look exactly the same. As our Guyana pig sticks with RTX 4060, 60FPs on the 1080p/Ultra Draw dream have not changed at all at all at all on the dream, ultra and altitude, while medium and less have achieved up to 68Fps and 78FPs, respectively, up to 68Fps and 78Fps respectively.

These results offered a warning that just reducing a few individual powers was not getting much help, the fear was confirmed when I started testing their low settings one by one. Only two of the eleven important quality settings, shadows and reflections returned the average average than their ultra -scary dream equals, and they were only 61 FPS and 62 FPS. Not separate in other words.

Instead of cutting them, after that, we are basically collecting some additional frames, though it increases, as well as digging some less effects. Try the following:

  • Colorful barrier: Off
  • Thick fade: Off
  • upscaler: DLSS/FSR on quality
  • All the rest: Ultra dreamed

… Now that I have written it, it looks like the least sophisticated best settings of my career. I apologize, the second time in this article. Nevertheless, there is no meaning in the pieces that will not improve the framerarite, and on this note, this conference got RTX 4060 to 91FPs, which is a healthy 50 % improvement using ultra -drastic dreams, with the use of ultra -drastic dreams. Don’t be ashamed of activating DLS in the lower resolution such as 1080p, either Dark Edges uses the latest DLSS 4 with their better transformer model, so it’s quite fast.

Optionally, DLSS Frame Generation performs enough Enough to be able to experience. The 2x sequence increased 91FPS average to 139FPs, eventually returned to the eternal area, though, on the contrary, you should stay away from the FSR frame general. As in the Obayovion Remsted, it is uncertainly slow and nasty, eventually everything looks worse without it.

Partially to eliminate the horrific shortage of this list, allow me to identify some settings that must be left out of how they are. Mainly, Offer from Compute Should always be set up; Disabling this, my RTX 4060 looked up from 60fps to 40fps, with no practical benefit. I will keep Resolution scaling format Switch -off, as advanced individuals will play the same role – deliberately reduce the resolution to maintain performance – faster, more visually permanent results than dynamic scaling.
