However, the game demands finely tuned graphics settings to strike the right balance between performance and quality. If you're playing on an Nvidia RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti, optimizing your settings is essential to get high frame rates without sacrificing brutal visuals.

Below are the recommended settings for each GPU model, designed for smooth DOOM The Dark Ages gameplay at 1080p or even 1440p resolution.

The Nvidia RTX 3060 is a good GPU if you are planning to enjoy DOOM The Dark Ages on 1080p, but it is restricted by budget. You can enjoy the Ultra Nightmare quality with this GPU. The gameplay would be mostly smooth with a 60-70 FPS on 1080p, but it might be choppy in some instances.

With our optimized settings, you would be getting 66–80 FPS on 1080p resolution. These tweaks focus on lowering shadow and volumetric details while retaining crisp texture quality and enhanced effects for an immersive experience.+

The RTX 3060 Ti offers a noticeable performance uplift compared to the base 3060 due to its raw power, allowing for smoother gameplay and even enjoying on 1440p. You can expect a smooth 75–90 FPS at 1080p with the following settings.

Moreover, the RTX 3060 Ti also allows you to play DOOM The Dark Ages on 1440p at Ultra settings. However, you won't be getting any high FPS, as you will be clocked between 39-50 FPS even with DLSS. We recommend the following settings to get 59–70 FPS while playing on 1440p.
