The Nvidia RTX 5080 is one of the fastest GPUs ever made. It is designed to play demanding games like Doom The Dark Ages at sky-high framerates without performance hiccups. The latest Bethesda release also supports DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, which makes 100 FPS at 4K look easy. However, a few careful graphics tweaks are necessary to ensure your game looks the sharpest.
Read on to find out the ideal settings combinations for the RTX 5080 in the new DOOM game. We have optimized for a 100+ FPS experience at 4K.
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 5080 — Better FPS
The RTX 5080 is designed for high FPS experiences at 4K. Most importantly, you can hit these numbers with the highest Ultra Nightmare settings applied. To do this, we recommend setting DLSS upscaling to either the Balanced or Performance preset. Use Frame Generation 4x to get your framerate over 200. A slight latency is involved if you're relying on so much AI. However, casual gamers won't notice.
