Best DOOM The Dark Ages graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3050

DOOM The Dark Ages brings back beloved demon-slaying shooter action from id Software and Bethesda. To get the best experience from this game, you should have optimized settings with respect to your GPU. Moreover, you should also use something friendly to your pockets, like the Nvidia RTX 3050.

The RTX 3050 is a decent card that can deliver a respectable 1080p performance. However, when playing something demanding like DOOM The Dark Ages, it could struggle to offer smooth frame rates unless optimized properly. There is nothing to worry about, though, as we have the best settings for a great experience, even on this budget 1080p GPU.

With the Nvidia RTX 3050, you can only get 30–40 FPS when playing on Low settings, although it significantly improves to around an average of 55 FPS with DLSS Quality mode. Moreover, you can technically run this game at 1080p Ultra settings. However, you should expect only 36–45 FPS even with DLSS, which may introduce noticeable choppiness and input lag during intense combat.

Our optimized settings aim to provide the smoothest experience possible, delivering a consistent 50–60 FPS at 1080p, without sacrificing too much on visual fidelity. These settings carefully balance graphical features while leveraging DLSS to maximize performance and clarity.
