Best Doom: The Dark Ages settings for the AMD RX 7900 XTX (2026)

On a AMD RX 7900 XTX (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 66 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 67FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7900 XTX is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 24GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 66 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 195 FPS at 1080p and 117 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. Its 24GB 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.
