Best Doom: The Dark Ages settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 67 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 68FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 67 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 112 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Doom: The Dark Ages, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
