The Nvidia RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are high-end 1440p GPUs for playing DOOM The Dark Ages. Given DLSS upscaling and frame generation, you can expect solid performance at 4K resolutions too. However, a few graphics settings tweaks are required to hit a balance between framerates and picture quality.
To help you quickly get started in the game, we have compiled this list of ideal settings for the 70-class GPUs in this article.
Note: These settings work best for systems satisfying the recommended hardware for DOOM: The Dark Ages (AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, Intel Core i7 12700K or better + 32 GB RAM).
Best DOOM The Dark Ages settings for RTX 5070
The Nvidia RTX 5070 is designed for no-compromises 1440p gaming. However, DOOM The Dark Ages runs comfortably at 4K with DLSS turned on. For the graphics settings, we recommend the highest Ultra Nightmare settings. Now, set DLSS upscaling to the Quality preset to maintain picture quality and frame generation to the 3x preset to keep framerates close to 100 FPS.

Best DOOM The Dark Ages settings for RTX 5070 Ti
The RTX 5070 Ti packs a punch in 4K gaming. The GPU is much faster than its $549 sibling, which means you can play DOOM: The Dark Ages at native 4K. DLSS Multi-frame Generation helps keep the framerates high.
We recommend setting Anti-Aliasing to TAA with Frame Generation set to 2x for the best experience. You can crank this up to 3x or 4x based on your framerate targets. The graphics settings can stay at Ultra Nightmare for an ideal experience.
The detailed settings are as follows:
