How to potentially fix the Doom The Dark Ages GPU driver error

Here are a few workarounds that you can try to potentially fix the Doom The Dark Ages GPU driver error:

1) Check for a new GPU driver update

You can use the applications provided by the developers of the GPU to keep track of the latest drivers. Open the software and check if a newer version is available. Download and install it to ensure you have the most recent driver running on your system and possibly avoid the GPU driver error.

2) Run the game on dedicated GPU

Make sure that your system is running the game on the dedicated GPU and not on an integrated one. The game itself is quite heavy and can be too demanding for an Integrated GPU to run with stability. This can also cause the game to crash and lead to the GPU driver error.

3) Check background tasks

Open Task Manager on your PC to check if the GPU is being used by other background applications. The game might require a lot of resources during the launch and overall run time. The absence of which can cause it to run into problems. Close any GPU-intensive activities on your system and attempt to re-launch the game after a fresh restart.

4) Restart your PC

After installing the latest drivers, the game may still come up with the same GPU error box. You may need to restart the PC for the drivers to be properly installed and detected. This can potentially help the game run without encountering any issues.

5) Clean reinstall

If none of the other steps work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the GPU driver. This is a fairly risky task, and it is recommended that you follow a proper guide while attempting this.

A clean reinstall of the GPU driver can help your system potentially get rid of any underlying problems and run the software properly. This may be able to solve the Doom The Dark Ages GPU driver error..

Possible reasons

Doom The Dark Ages launched very recently, and the title might have some problems with GPU driver compatibility. Since the error dialogue box is quite clear that this is a GPU driver error, the problem could lie with the game or could be occurring locally on the system.

The developers are likely already aware of this issue and may deploy a patch to fix the problem. Fans can also follow the official Bethesda X page for the latest information about any fixes or game patches.
