Best Doom The Dark Ages graphics settings for Radeon RX 6600

Doom The Dark Ages by id Software brings back the beloved high-paced, action-packed gameplay of the Doom franchise with gruesome but stunning visuals. Since there is so much that Bethesda's new shooter has to offer, it can be quite demanding on your hardware, especially with the GPU. If you have a Radeon RX 6600, it's not a god-tier GPU in 2025 but a decent pick to enjoy some 1080p gameplay.

To get solid 1080p performance while playing Doom The Dark Ages on Radeon RX 6600, you would need optimal settings that offer stable framerates without sacrificing too much of visual quality. Here we are with the best optimized settings for this mid-tier GPU to play this new FPS smoothly.

Out of the box, Doom The Dark Ages can be quite demanding, especially when using the Ultra Nightmare preset. If you play using these presets at 1080p with FSR 3 Quality mode on an RX 6600, you will only get around 50-60 FPS. These aren't the best framerates for a fast-paced game. You can try the lowest preset with FSR to get above 75 FPS, but you would be sacrificing visual fidelity.

With our tested and optimized settings, you’ll enjoy fluid gameplay with stable frame rates above 60 FPS. These settings strike the perfect balance between visual fidelity and performance for 1080p gaming.

If you're interested in 4K gaming, the Radeon RX 6600 can technically handle it, but don't expect ultra-high frame rates. Using low settings with FSR 3 enabled, you can achieve a playable 30-40 FPS at 4K, which is respectable for a budget GPU. Alternatively, you can enjoy smooth 1440p gameplay with the Medium preset, using FSR to get a balanced experience that still looks great and runs reliably.
