On a AMD RX 9070 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Doom: The Dark Ages runs at roughly 80 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 60FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Doom: The Dark Ages is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 4K — about 80 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 60 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 168 FPS at 1080p and 105 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 80 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.
