Doom The Dark Ages is officially set to launch on 15 May 2025, and is the latest installment in the legendary franchise. The game will be launched on multiple platforms like Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X/S.
One look at the system requirements, and we see that the game is a little on the demanding side. The developers suggest having at least the RTX 3080 to run the title at higher settings or resolutions. Thus, gamers who own the RTX 3080 or the RTX 3080 Ti are extremely lucky as they'd be able to run the new Doom title at 1440p with higher graphics settings.
While the game should run fine as it is, we recommend you make a few tweaks to get the best visuals and the smoothest performance. In this article, we'll look into the best settings for Doom The Dark Ages on the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti.
